plants

We round up the week in good news stories, featuring gravity go-kart racing, meat-eating flowers, newly hatched turtles and panda twins.
We love bringing leafy friends into our homes - and your houseplants are returning the favour. Studies have shown that living with plants can have a host of health benefits, from increasing productivity to fighting headaches and fatigue, and even improving the air quality in our homes.
For the perfect finishing touch, without any of the upkeep.
