From Heidi Haidle Sorgen, Founder:

Vibrant interior foliage is an invaluable addition to any indoor environment. Plants beautify their surroundings and add a soft touch to the harsh angles formed by most furnishings. Attractive foliage adds class and sophistication to your home or office. The physical environment you find yourself in directly affects your mood and sense of contentment- plants promote creativity and productivity. Greenery not only sparks the imagination and increases morale, but also has practical value. Indoor tropical foliage has been proven to remove many of the toxic chemicals found in stuffy indoor air including formaldehyde, benzene and trichlorethylene. Plants also help keep humidity within a healthy range.

Treemendous believes strongly in using environmentally sound methods to manage your plants: avoiding chemical pollutants, fertilizers, and using healthy soils.
