Plants don’t live long in our household (well, except this one). We either water them too much or too little or the cats get to them. It’s unfortunate, because I like having flowers in the house, but refuse to buy cut flowers since they simply don’t last. So one day, on a whim, I bought a beautiful orchid from Whole Foods (they were right by the register and I fell into their little trap). When I got it home and placed it on the mantle, I was really impressed at what a difference it made right away—it certainly classed up the joint. Even better, at $20, it’s about the same as cut flowers and lasts much, much longer (ours last about 6 weeks). With proper care, I’m sure they could last even longer, so for cheap you can always have some classy-ass flowers prettying up your pad. And then you can live like this guy.

I am all about succulents. They don’t need a lot of water, they thrive in good light and are adorable! My favorite being Bear Paw Cactus. It really looks like a fuzzy little bear paw!
