Plants please the eye

What would life be like without plants? Yes, we need them for nutrition, but we also need them to please the eye.

This orchid display was given to me by an artist, named Frances Wong. She brought it to my home on October 30, 2022. Almost 3 months have gone by, and 1 flower finally fell just yesterday. There are actually 3 separate plants, each with 1 spray of orchids. Each plant gets 1 large ice cube once a week. I prefer this system of watering, because it doesn’t disturb the arrangement in the bowl:

This is how the orchids look almost 3 months later:

I bought these colorful crotons from Home Depot recently. I water them 1-2 times per week. They are doing well on this bench in the patio:

I also bought 4 Boston ferns from Home Depot recently. I water them 3 times per week. These are green and lush, hanging from the eaves in my patio:

Finally, I bought this fern from Lowe’s in March 2022. It’s the oldest potted plant in my house! I water it 1-2 times per week. It thrives in low light on my shoe cabinet:

So far so good, all are doing well. Hope my good luck continues, as I am not known for my green thumb.
