Mental Houseplants

🌱 Today is World Mental Health Day 🌱

At Mental Houseplants, we believe in the healing power of plants to nurture not only your space but your mind. Just like houseplants need care and attention, so do our mental health. 🌿

Today, let's remind ourselves to pause, breathe, and take small steps toward a healthier mind—whether that’s adding greenery to your home, taking a walk in nature, or simply giving yourself the time to relax. Every act of self-care is a seed that helps you grow.

To continue our mission of supporting mental health awareness and fighting the stigma, we are happy to still be partnered with NAMI and continue to donate a portion of EVERY SALE to them. We truly believe our mental health is just as important as physical health.

These past few months have been incredibly challenging for both myself and Mental Houseplants as well. As I navigate through my grief, my business has taken a significant hint. It would mean the world if you could help us by telling others about us, sharing our story, or even making a purchase. Every bit of support helps us continue our mission of promoting mental health through the power of houseplants.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your continued support and understanding as we take small steps through our grief journey. ❤️‍🩹🪴

To say it was an honor to be asked to be a guest speaker at the first annual NAMI Massachusetts Impact Summit this past Sunday is an understatement!

They asked me if I would be willing to share my mental health story, how Mental Houseplants got started, and why we chose to partner with NAMI. I was definitely overwhelmed to say the least as this was my first time talking in front of over 50+ people but I am so happy I did it!

I used to only share my story with people who made me feel "safe" or what I thought safe felt like. Sunday, I got to be vulnerable and share my story with everyone because I feel safe inside myself.

If you told me 5 years ago that I'd be doing this, I would have never believed you! My ability to be a guest speaker is not only a testament to my own growth and the work I put into healing, but a testament to how beneficial therapy and seeking help can be.

I feel so lucky to have been able to connect with so many wonderful people. To hear how my story inspired them, how they felt heard or even understood. That they felt like they were in a safe space hearing us talk about our stories. What an honor it is to be able to do that for people.

And this is why I share my mental health story! The more we share, the more we break down not only the barriers inside ourselves, but barriers between others too. Sharing our story helps fight the stigmas against mental health. It connects us all to something greater as mental health is something that affects us all, even if you do not have a diagnosis yourself.

I am grateful today for NAMI and specifically Deputy Director Joe DiMauro, for my husband and his continuous support, for my sister for coming all the way to Boston to hear me speak, for my therapist who has helped me on my healing journey, for the family members who understood I needed the space and time to heal, to those who believe in and continue to support Mental Houseplants, and the mental health community in general. The fight is not over but I'm so proud to be a part of the journey!

Today, as we honor Martin Luther King Jr., we also reflect on an often unknown aspect of his legacy – the importance of mental health. Although Martin Luther King Jr. did not speak directly about mental health, his life and struggles highlight the significance of addressing mental wellness, especially in the fight against healthcare inequities. His advocacy for self-care and love, and his own private battles with depression, remind us of the strength found in vulnerability and the power of empathy. His struggles also show us the strength of Martin Luther King Jr. had and that having depression does not diminish one's capabilities or worth. Let's continue his legacy by advocating for mental health awareness and fighting against the stigma surrounding it.

‼️DON'T THROW YOUR POINSETTIA AWAY AFTER THE HOLIDAYS!! ‼️
They will grow back!

Typically another plant that is purchased as a gift or for yourself, we wanted to help and provide care instructions as well as how to encourage your Poinsettia to bloom again. 🤗

These plants are so pretty and come in red, white, pink, and even variegated colors 😍🌈

Pro tip: remove the foil wrapper from your pot. This will keep moisture trapped inside your pot and can lead to root rot or unwanted pests. 👎🏼

Safety Tip: Poinsettias can cause irritation to pets and humans when ingested. Be sure to keep away from children and fur babies 🙀

Save this post so you can come back to it later! 💚
