When I first started living on my own, I was plantless…that was also a very dark period of my life. But then a friend gave me a baby spider plant and I was hooked. I started collecting plants and cuttings and soon my apartment looked like a jungle…well maybe more like a science lab because I had dozens of little water-filled glass jars with various cuttings rooting in them displayed on shelves. It felt good to have living things in my life.
I still have a lot of plants now but lately I have a renewed interest in succulents. I like their sculptural quality and you just can’t help but want to pinch those little fat leaves. I’m trying hard not to go hog wild and buy more succulents but I may cave soon. They’re just so irresistible.
