I’ve been meaning to get an indoor plant as my decorating scheme for the summer. I love the way plants make a home look inviting and calm. My only thing is that when it comes to a green thumb, I don’t have one of those. A lot of plants fell from grace under my care far too many times. Even my 2-year-old has done a bad job with plants; her method of destruction is to pour juice, tea, or anything liquids she can get her hands on in the plant’s roots.

So maybe a synthetic plant may be better for us after all. I’ll check Wal-Mart and see what options they’ve got.
