Get Healthy with Houseplants

Angela DelGrosso Stein ’14 has loved and cared for houseplants since she was a little girl. Today, in addition to her full-time job as the director of mayor’s initiatives for the City of Bethlehem, Stein owns and operates Steel City Plant Co., which specializes in pet-friendly houseplants and all things necessary to excel at plant parenthood. Founded in Bethlehem, the shop will relocate this summer to downtown Easton’s Belleville Market.

Stein’s houseplants are not only pet-friendly; they’re people-friendly, too. She quotes an article from Psychology Today: “Researchers found that people who surround themselves with plant life and other forms of natural beauty, indoors and out, experience emotional and mental health benefits that have a positive impact on their social, psychological, physical, cognitive, environmental, and spiritual well-being.”

Here are a few of those benefits:

● Relief from stress and revived mental energy

● Reduced symptoms of depression

● Improved memory

● Sharper concentration and increased productivity

● A boost in creativity

Stein’s top recommendations for life-giving houseplants? Palms, ferns, and spider plants. They’re also easy to take care of if you are an indoor-plant novice.
