In the last two years or so I've become a bit obsessed with the world of cactuses, succulents, and all other types of houseplants. I've done my research, overloaded my Mom's sun window, and covered my dorm room in the lovelies and I'm going to tell you three reasons why you need one too.
They're Super Easy To Care For
I'm all about the low maintenance. You can stick these bad boys up in a window and forget about them for weeks at a time. All you have to do is sprinkle a little water on them every now and again. They're strong, independent plants that don't need no owner!
They Have Their Own Personalities
I cannot look at my little (not so little) collection of plants without grinning. I know it sounds crazy, but each plant has its own little personality. For example, one of my cactuses draws blood nearly every time I get within poking distance. He's a little salty. Another one seems to always lay to one side of the pot. I imagine she's a little lazy.
They Brighten Up The Room
When you walk into a room that has cactuses and succulents lining the window sill the room seems to be alive. It doesn't look cold and lonely anymore. They catch your eye. With enough plants you can achieve the "rain forest" look. If you find your room looking a little plain, a cute house plant can ease the pain.
