Should I get a plant?
I was doing the dishes tonight and our kitchen window looks down into another townhouse’s kitchen window. I am still trying to figure out when these people are ever there to accumulate any dishes themselves, but since it’s the only window I occasionally see lights on in and the blinds open; they do live there. And they have a plant. 3 actually.
I’ve had plants in the past, usually the kind that are “hard to kill” or “easy to take care of.” They do good for awhile, and I even managed to keep several alive until I decided that two kids were more important to water than a lily.
You know those bamboo plants they have in cute little planters made into cute little shapes at the Ikea checkout? Yup, I killed one. 😦 My sister got the green thumb in the family. I could keep plenty of animals alive and was the resident vet for the horses and cats, but she has an entire greenhouse in a room at their MI house.
So here is where I need your help. Most plants need sunlight. I live in Seattle. We don’t really get a lot of sun. What type of plant can I get that doesn’t need a lot of sun, is “easy to take care of” and “hard to kill” but also looks pretty.
If anyone has any ideas… let me know!
