Not everyone is born with a green thumb! Have you ever killed a cactus? Don’t judge us; it can happen! Just because cactuses don’t need much water, they still need lots of light, attention, and love.
Isolation brought a whole new perspective on taking care of not only ourselves but other living things. While many people were adopting cats and dogs in droves, we know that pets require more attention than we can give right now. But don’t sleep on plants!
They don’t make noise, clean the air, are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and you get to see them grow and require minimal maintenance.
Although we have been growing plants for years, this is the first time we’ve had longevity during the process. Maybe it’s because of being in the house more you start to notice the small things and cherish them! Like naming our plants, they are our babies and part of the family.
We’ve gotten so much inspiration from other plant lovers like Trey of “What’s One More Phothos.” He is an entire vibe with “The Green Room; a mix of music, decor, and sharing his life as a dope plant daddy.
But he isn’t the only one giving us that green inspiration. These plant shops are boasting with all the plants to start your urban oasis in and outside your home.
