Friends often come to me with Houseplant problems—Things like fallen leaves, sad wilting, and no new growth. They’re usually surprised to hear my diagnosis: that it shouldn’t be a houseplant at all. Instead, I encourage friends who have a passion for veggies in living spaces To take fake houseplants for a test drive.
Think about the conditions in which plants live It thrives outdoors—There’s moisture in the air, natural sunlight, and pollinators buzzing around. While some plants do better than others internal settingsIt is not uncommon for most of them to eventually die due to dry air quality, inadequate lighting, and poor soil. For these reasons, I’m all about the faux houseplant trend.
