According to a 1989 NASA study, houseplants can help improve air quality by removing cancer-causing chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene from the air. Another study found that the soil in potted plants can also help clean indoor air.

“Microorganisms in the soil of the plant help clean the air as well,” says Lauren Garvey, LPC, CRC, NCC, a counselor and facilitator at Cancer Wellness at Piedmont. “These microorganisms have also been found to have anti-depressive effects.”

The bigger and leafier the plant, the better, says the NASA study author. Garvey recommends peace lilies, bamboo, aloe vera, figs and Boston ferns.

ADU - or Accessory Dwelling Units - are rising in popularity across the nation.

They allow homeowners to add a small structure on their property to create affordable housing options and increase density, especially in expensive single-family zoned areas. An ADU can also produce rental income that can offset the cost of a mortgage and/or operating costs. Some use them as mini-retirement-funds.

California homeowners applied for over 31,000 ADU permits last year, up over 340% from about 7,000 in 2018, according to the California Department of Housing and Community Development, and a 2023 analysis by John Burns Research found that the trend is spreading.

Is your neighborhood ADU friendly? Give me a call.
