Lots of teens take great pleasure in decorating the succah and making it a beautiful place to be. Some people use live plants and greenery to decorate the succah. But did you know that introducing live plants to your life could actually make you healthier? Not just in the succah, but year-round. Get started with bringing some fresh greenery into the succah, and then take it indoors for the long winter ahead.

Let’s find out how plants can actually improve our health, and which plants to try.

Allergy attacks. Fatigue. Asthma. Headaches. Tickly coughs. All unpleasant. And all can be caused by different triggers. For some people, one of those triggers could be chemicals lurking around the home, silently affecting those who are breathing them in, all day, every day. Particularly as the weather cools down and we hunker down for the winter, closed windows and heating systems combined with a lack of fresh air can cause chemicals in your environment to have a negative affect on your health.

Here are some good plants to try, recommended for their air-purifying abilities:

Aloe Vera

Areca Palm

Boston Fern

Dragon Tree (Dracena Marginata)

Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica)

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum)

Snake Plant (Sansevieria)

Scindapsus

Weeping Fig (Ficus Benjamina)
