Plants for Every Routine
Not everyone lives the same way, and thankfully, not every plant expects the same from us. Whether you’re a meticulous planner, a chronic forgetter, or someone who just wants some green to bring life to their space, there’s a plant (or a few...) that will fit seamlessly into your routine!
