4. Embrace your inner plantito or plantita. 

If you are not the active type, there is surely a way for you to achieve wellness even while at home. During the pandemic, we saw the rise of plantitos and plantitas as they advocate taking care of plants to boost one’s well-being. Here’s some good news: you can do that and more at SMDC! 

Plants can make a home look refreshing, cool and comfortable to live in. Time to embrace nature and take care of plants such as peace lily, spider plants, and snake plants inside your unit. They make your space look beautiful, and also leave a positive impact on your daily life.
