House plants even YOU can not kill.

I just started collecting house plants in 2020 so I am far from an expert. However, I have grown a love for them and am learning a lot along the way. Side note: buying new plants is my favorite self care practice. Today I am sharing 5 EASY plants for anyone to have, from beginner to expert. I love collecting pots and searching for the perfect plant. I’ve lucky only killed a couple and the rest have made it through this last year with me.

Trust me, you don’t have a “black thumb”, you will find the perfect plant for you one day. Do some research and find a plant that fits your needs.
