Because most of us spend the majority
of our time indoors, NASA conducted a
Clean Air Study to determine which
common houseplants are the best for
filtering harmful toxins like ammonia
and formaldehyde from the air.

I accidentally knocked this plant over a couple of weeks ago, and the top broke off.

So, I decided to just try sticking that into the soil too, hoping it would root. (Looking pretty good so far… *fingers crossed*) And hoped that the bare stem might grow more leaves.

Yeah, that seems to be working out more successfully than I imagined!

It really wants to grow. Guess I’ll wait and see how it continues to develop, and maybe eventually need to thin out some of those new shoots.
