"It starts with being self-aware and knowing
what type of person you are. en it asks what
kind of light you have in your home. A person
that travels oen or is a bit forgetful, shouldn't
bring plants in their home that require a ton of
their time. ey should have low-maintenance
plants. But if they don't have the right light, none
of that will matter. Before they bring a plant
home they should figure out what type of light
they have. Is there a window? Is it a northwest,
northeast, or south facing window? And then
with that knowledge, take it to the nursery and
ask an associate what plants thrive in that type
of light. So many people bring plants into their
home because they see one and just think the
foliage is pretty. It won't be pretty for long if
you're placing it in environments that aren't
suitable for the plant. My goal is to get this new
green community to care about the life of the
plant and not just see it as a prop."
