Product Review: Green Your Air plants for nursery

We often worry about the smog outside, but did you know that research shows the enclosed space indoors (in our own homes) can be as much as ten times more polluted than outdoors? And considering we spend about 90% of our day inside, that’s a big ol’ reason to keep the air in your home as healthy and clean as possible.

The mission behind the company Green Your Air is to help you do just that. 

How can my own home be so polluted?  Chemicals are emitted from every day items in our homes, such as formaldehydes and alcohols from carpets, ceiling tiles, grocery bags, cleaning supplies, and even cosmetics.  Plants help clean the air in indoor environments by ridding it of pollutants and toxins, counteracting outgassing and contributing to balanced internal humidity.


Green Your Air chooses fresh plants from a locally owned nursery that you can purchase for your home.  They use non-toxic, biodegradable pots made of bamboo fiber, rice husks, wheat straw, and corn stalks.  I was drawn to their website because they have a specific plant just for baby’s nursery!

The Mini Fortis is the perfect little size for any nursery and has the super power to filter formaldehyde from the air.  New nurseries can be packed with chemicals like formaldehyde from new paint, upholstery, carpeting and furniture (the particle board, adhesives and glues holding the furniture pieces together).  This cute little plant comes in a cute little blue or pink pot just right for decorating your baby’s space! (you can also add decorative stones for an extra $3.50)


Best of all?  They ship anywhere in the US!  Mine arrived perfectly packaged and ready to use.  Even better yet, this plant requires no light and very little watering – so you can give all your attention to baby instead.

I ordered the Mini Fortis with the pink vase for my new baby girl’s room, and I absolutely love it.  I have pretty much the opposite of a green thumb, and I previously sadly did not have a single plant in my home!  I have had the Mini Fortis for about three weeks now and it still looks as perfect as the day it arrived.  I specifically wanted a plant for my baby’s nursery and Green Your Air was the perfect solution.  I think this would make such an awesome gift for a baby shower!
