Do you want to become a "Plant Parent"?

-

 You've most likely heard the term Plant Parent. It just means that you take care of a plant and that you love it! Since Covid has locked many in their homes and kept them away from the office and other "indoor" space, folks have been loving becoming plant parents. Aside from the fact that living with plants in the home is healthy for you (they help to clean the air), taking care of a plant gives you something to look forward to. You watch your plant grown and thrive and you can take great pride by saying - "I did that"! 

becoming a plant parentYou might be surprised to find out that many men love picking out and receiving as plants as gifts. Our designer Alicia, who is an avid plant collector and since moving in with her boyfriend Erik, he's become a plant lover too. If Erik says it's ok to bring home another plant - she doesn't wait to be told twice. Our design Alanna loves decorating the patio of her apartment with beautiful green plants and her boyfriend Kevin has become a "big believer" in the power of living with plants, especially being he can view them from his home office while he works! terrarium plantWe've been creating and selling lots of terrariums and the best part of those is that they require very little maintenance. These make really great gifts for those who travel often or don't want to have to water plants often (or at all). Looking to add a little color into your environment? We have the perfect plant called a Kalanchoe, which is actually a blooming succulent plant. These are easy to care for, don't require too much water and will bloom over and over if you "dead head" them. This just means remove the spent blooms.
