4. Jade plant in a ceramic planter
You can convert your urbanised indoor space into one with nature by placing a jade plant (succulent) on your work desk or around the house. The plant comes in a colourful ceramic planter along with a potting mix. Succulents not only brighten the look of your home, but also purify the air and improve humidity in your space.
