Plants at home

It’s said that having indoor plants helps to reduce stress and boost mental well being. I’m not sure if it’s true but I do like to have plants in the house to brighten up the spaces. 


Flowers
Fresh flowers in the house make a whole load of difference, giving it a more welcoming feel. I am happier coz maybe I love flowers especially tulips

It isn’t easy on the wallet to have fresh flowers all the time. So I turn to boring greens. 

Partially this reason why I turned to having a Click n Grow system at home and have lavender leaves (not successful for me but did grow and thrive well in che-che’s room once or twice before) .

Pansies are beautiful. I love looking at pansies when it’s winter during our family vacations.



Lavender flowers. Aiyoh I’ve changed lavender a few times after the first n second batch mati, and weren’t that successful with lavender flowering thereafter. However the leaves do give off lovely smell


I stopped putting Click n Grow in her room when she went to the US. She didn’t want it anymore after she came back 😢. If only I could put one in my bedside table.

One day when I’m free I’d like to order a nice table arrangement of bright coloured preserved flowers for the home


Greens

It started with the pot of syngonium that Ms Wong gifted me on Mother’s Day in 2021. I continued experimenting with monstera, pennywort, sansevieria (toilet). 

I found out the hard way that monstera adansoni and syngonium thrives easily indoor 


Once in a while will need to put the vase in the A&E corner aka yard area for some sunlight. I usually don’t open the louvre windows in that direction but when I do, it means I need to help with ☀️
