I’ve never had plants before, but I want to start having small plants in my bedroom to start with. What’re some good low maintenance ones to start with? Located in the northeast. Thanks!

I vote snake and zz. They are so forgiving and will help build confidence. Also, you can get a grow bulb and a normal light (if the light can accommodate the wattage) if you don’t want to open your blinds all the time.

Second the snakes can never go wrong! No light, no water, no problem, went on vacation? No problem!

Thank you! Love ferns!

How’s your light exposure in the bedroom?

I would recommend starting with snake plant, zz plant or pothos.

Thank you! I’ll give that a try. 😊

Peace Lily

Any insight on the interview process or how long it takes or any sort of idea to give me on what I could look for that might help me believe I might get an offer?

Does anybody have a resource available for pricing and billing? I am 2 years out of law school, working as a corporate attorney, and wanting to go solo. Ideally, I will take my corporate client with me, but am working to build work on the side during the transition. Also, do you have any recommendations for document preparation? I would like to draft wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents, but would like a resource that has boilerplate provisions to utilize as a reference.

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.
