Croton Bush Plant Can Help You Sleep and more
Croton bush plants: An amazing sight to behold If you desire cleaner air in your home, a good night's sleep and something bright and beautiful to look at you might want to invest in a Croton bush house plant. Many house plants are said to be beneficial in cleansing indoor air and the Croton is one of them. The first time I paid attention to a Croton I was amazed at the rainbow of colors in the bright foliage. I was walking towards a local Kroger store and there were eight or ten of the plants in pots sitting in the front of the doors. They were $19.99 each and I considered purchasing one or two at some point.

With the revival of economy and industrial activities in and around the city post lockdown, stubble burning season at its peak, and the awful Delhi traffic, the extremely subpar air quality indices were not so hard to predict. What was a shocker though, was the city administration’s decision to shut down schools, colleges and encourage work from home. Basically, an effort to minimize exposure to pollution, not by cutting down on pollution itself but by locking humans up in their houses. Apart from this, construction work has been halted, coal plants shut and non-essential trucks have been banned from entering the city.

In fact if you have to run to get your camera to record an unbelievable scene, you're probably already too late to capture it when you get back.
