Honestly, I prefer faux plants for certain spots in my house. Am I committing some kind of plant sin?

Yes.

100%

Do you. I prefer real plants but I do have certain rooms in my house that just deem it necessary to get a fake plant.

I mean, it's your house, but I can't stand the look of fake plants. I'd prefer empty space.

Of course not.

No. Many plants will look great in a specific area but it’s not the best place for their health. Plants are not decorations - they can be but they’re a living thing first. Lots of people put plants in a space just cause it looks nice and then wonder why it suffers or dies (I’ve done this too). So if a space calls for a plant and fake is the only option, then do it. Just remember to dust it regularly.

A few years ago, I proposed a grant to my Board of Ed, but was turned down... so I put it on DonorsChoose instead, and it got fully funded (about $2800), but my school district said I could not accept the grant under any circumstances! So I had to ditch the idea (and the FUNDING!)...
Anyone else experience this? I still wonder why.... and it was never explained to me. (Veteran teacher, 20+ years’ experience.)

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
