Confessions of a Reformed Plant Killer (and Why You Should Totally Join the Club)



Plant Parent

Let’s be honest, I wasn’t always a botanical whisperer. In fact, I had a long and storied history of accidental plant homicide. My apartment looked less like a verdant oasis and more like a graveyard for neglected succulents (RIP, Steve the Cactus). But then, something magical happened. I adopted a scraggly little fern named Ferdinand, and against all odds (and my own track record), he thrived!

Benefit 1: Plants Are the Chillest Roommates You’ll Ever Have

Forget noisy neighbors or passive-aggressive roommates leaving dirty dishes in the sink. Plants are the epitome of chill. They don’t steal your food, hog the bathroom, or judge your questionable dance moves. In fact, they’re perfectly content just soaking up the sun and looking effortlessly stylish in the corner.
