10 Black-Owned Plant Businesses To Support

Plants breathe oppositely to humans, making them the perfect partner. They release oxygen into the air and absorb carbon dioxide. Higher levels of oxygen make it easier to concentrate and think clearly. Plants also reduce the levels of humidity, which means that we can reduce air conditioning use.

Besides purifying the air, having plants in your home is one of the few ways you can elevate the way your home looks. It adds beauty to a dull room and creates a different ambiance for your space.

These Black-owned businesses are using their business to add beauty to our homes. If you were never a lover of plants, these brands’ offerings are sure to make you have a rethink. Are you ready to delve into a world of plants?
