Feel at Home with Plants…but Help Your Plants Feel at Home


I love having plants at my office and in my home. I’ll admit that I have a few silk ones too. And silk plants require some work…cleaning them. They look real and they add a nice touch but the real plants are cool…and they are a living thing. But, we’re all busy people and I like indoor plants that look great but don’t require too much maintenance.


Here are a couple of ideas for your plant selections…
Rather than just pick something that catches your eye, think about the location where the plant will be placed, how much nurturing the plant will require, how regularly it will need water. Then think…do you have the time to address all those things, so that the plant will not die.

When you figure out the location for the plant, you will also then know how much sunlight it receives and that will help you understand how frequently the plant will require water and vitamins.

When at the plant store or nursery look for the healthy plants, read a little about that plant and ask questions while you are there. Make sure the plant has a good drainage pot. When you get that plant back to the office or home, don’t overwater, because that can kill the plant. And to create a larger impact, consider plant groupings.
