It’s Spring. The time of revival. Any nothing says “life” and “renewal” like new flowering house plants. I have never come across an apartment that didn’t look better or feel more “homey” with growing plants. Which is why when I worked for a landlord many years ago, I would always dress up the model apartment with lots of plants and flowers. And it worked!

You can also try your hand with plants that do well in a glass or vase of water. Many types of houseplants will easily root if you just put a cutting of the plant into water.
