27 Ways to Fill Your Home with Plant Decor, Even if You Can’t Keep Plants Alive
Are you a nature person, but not a nature person? Do you like the concept of gardening, but keep a running death toll of basil plants that just couldn’t make it work on your kitchen windowsill? Have you managed to actually kill a succulent—one of the plants that’s pretty much guaranteed to grow itself unless you really mess something up? (Suffice it to say: I feel you.)
Everyone likes having plants around; they’re peaceful and pretty, and they offer you the chance to connect with the Great Outdoors without forcing you to actually come in contact with any mosquitos, ticks or other pests. But not everyone can be expected to remember which plant deserves which amount of water—let alone know if their apartment gets “North-facing light” (a thing I still maintain is fake).
