Are you a fan for green and colors in your home or in your office?
So, do you like keep and take care about plants and flowers in your own place?
What kind of plants do you have and how many?
Is hard or easy to care about this plants? Deserve, just to make your place more nice and maybe for a fresh air?

when i was still working, there's no room for me to bring a plant. but given a chance, i would love to get myself a potted flower plant and display it on my own table. i love plants and there are lots of it inside our house. i love the peace and serenity it brings inside the home, plus, it's a good decor too. not to mention the fresh air it brings. :)

I love having plants and flowers in my home, but have not been able to in a couple of years, because my step son is allergic to alot of them. What I usually have is, spider plants, purple velvet plants, and aloe plants. Not only are they pretty, but the aloe has awesome uses.

Sometimes my husband brings me a bouquet of flowers that we keep in a vase in the bedroom. We also have an aloe-vera plant in the living room on a really high shelf. We don't have more plants in here, because there are not enough windows, and we have a cat tat might knock stuff over. LOL

I love flowers! I am not able to have a real garden at the moment but I have a few potted plants right outside my door and they give such a lift when I return from work!

We have a few plants in our home. I guess I am okay with them. You just have to remember to water them every so often so they don't dry out and die. There is the occasional maintenance because they may grow too big or the leaves fall off.

It's always good to have some flowers or plants at home and office. I do have a small plant on my desk in the office, and there're several big plants in the office two to fresh the air. Right now I have no flower or plant in my home, I think I may have some after moving to my own little apartment. lol

Yes, I'd like some green around me, it's make me peace and feel naturally. I planted two kind of flowers, they were beautiful and smelt good. At a serve hot summer I made mistakes to give them more water, as a result their roots decayed.

I like to keep a pot or two of chocolate mint growing in my dorm room... it's a really hardy little plant, easy to grow. Just set it in a window and remember to water it every now and then. It smells really nice, but the real reason I love to keep it around is I can add it to my tea, and it has the best flavor of any mint i've tried (though they're all pretty easy to grow, as I understand).

Hi smile...really I too love plants a lot. I love keeping plants in front of the house and few indoor plants. I take care of plants a lot. A lot of care is must and should if you are interested to grow plants. It is not that we have bought the plants sowed them and just watering daily. That is not enough all the weeds should be cleared every weekly and even the soil should be digged surrounding the plants so that the plant can absorb water well. Manure is also very important for plants. Depending on the soil and the deficiency manure should be put for plants. What I do is the vegetable waste which comes after cutting vegetables I dig a small pit and dump the complete vegetable waste in that leave it for few days like that until it gets decomposes and dig it out and put for plants its works out very well.

Personally, I do like the look of plants and flowers, but I am not to good at taking care of them. At my work, I have flowers on my desk all the time...it is a shared desk, they are not mine. I do not personally take care of them but I do find they attract bugs and I do not like that. If I had the patience to prune and take care of plants, Im sure I would have a lot more of them in my home!

I keep plants both in my apartment and my cube at work. I typically have a hard time keeping plants alive (definitely did not get my mom's green thumb) but I have found a plant that I have not killed yet. I have a huge spider plant in my apartments that is growing like crazy. I have actually cut a few of the "spiders" off and planted them in their own pots to start new plants...those are the one's I keep in my office. I just water and keep them in front of my sliding glass door at home...they also do well in the artificial light in the office)
