Picking Your Plants
You want to choose a plant that looks nice and adds to the beauty of your home or office. You still need to be careful and think about a few things before you choose any plants.
- Find plants that appeal to you. Pick something that smells good to you or looks nice or blooms in your favorite color. If you choose something that doesn’t appeal to you, that plant will likely not last long.
- Check the Area- If you are looking for a plant that can transition well from outdoors to indoors, be sure to know your area. What works in one region of the U.S. won’t always work in the next.
- Choose plants you can easily maintain. Most people aren’t likely to stick with a plant that needs a lot of care. Find something that needs a minimum of care.
- Know the plant you choose. Be sure you know what your plant needs. Don’t place plants that need shade in direct sunlight. Don’t place plants that need a little cold next to a heater.
Above all, you want your plant to last. You want it to continue to bring beauty and health to your home or office. Be careful, choose wisely and take care of it. It’s simple when you choose wisely.
