Last words

Being a nature lover I am always very concerned about my plants. I am not judging you or passing comments.

But if you don’t find yourself free enough to take proper care of your plants you can actually look into few replicas.

 they are as good in decorative purpose as you want, but if you want to keep true life you need to be truly vigilant as I believe adopting an indoor plant is no less complicated then bringing up a newborn baby.

yes, I do love outdoor plants as well and I am also concerned about their life. But when it comes to indoor plants I am actually touchy because I have a valid reason. OutDoor plants can outsource their needs from nature but when you opt to adopt an Indoor plant you actually take responsibility for fulfilling all its needs. as its no more free to ask nature for any help.
