Plants and Self-Care: How Caring for Plants Can Reduce Stress, Increase Joy and Improve Our Health


Listen Later

Plant care is self-care. That’s Maria Failla of the Growing Joy with Plants Podcast’s motto.

Maria Failla has built an entire career and podcast community around the practice and belief that plants are good for us physically, mentally, and spiritually. Maria is a New York-based “plant killer turned happy plant lady” on a mission to make the world a kinder and greener place by helping everyone successfully care for houseplants. 

A former Broadway performer, Maria now uses her voice to help her community of thousands of “plant friends” care for plants successfully, grow their indoor jungles, and cultivate more joy in their lives through the Growing Joy with Plants Podcast and her debut book “Growing Joy: The Plant Lover’s Guide to Cultivating Happiness (and Plants). 

Plants, and the lessons that have come from caring for them, have been the single most impactful wellness tool in Maria’s life, and she hopes Growing Joy helps empower others to experience the incredible shifts that come from reconnecting with nature.
