If you know the song then sing it lol! Who would of thought id be into plants in my mid 30’s? It all started with my Juniper Bonsai about a a year ago, after falling inlove with the plant and the calmness it brings me. I started searching for different kinds of house plants that were easy to care for. Say hello to my new baby, its a Fittonia vessel plant with red veins. I think its beautiful, now its on my work desk next to my bonsai. Image is my own

I love plants with variegated foliage. We gave my mother a bonsai once and she kept it for a very long time.

Plants do bring a calmness and I love your little Bonsai. Of course your new baby is a nice addition to your desk too.
