Green

Apart from green mind, I apparently have green thumb too.

In December, in a fit of buying impulsiveness, I bought three different species of hydrocultured indoor plants from Market! Market!. One month later, I swear that it was a purchase that I will never regret.

You see, I thought that the plants wouldn't last a week. I thought I wouldn't muster the patience and the diligence to take care of them everyday. I thought I wouldn't be able to squeeze another chore in my busy schedule. But I was wrong -- I managed to keep them growing!

In the scientific community this plant is known as Neodypsis lastelliana. In my home, he is fondly called Noynoy. And he likes to converse. I should probably have given the name Kris. [Yes, I talk to my plants. My mom said that's what she does with her orchids. Well... it runs in the family.]

While we are in this subject, let me share with you this interesting claim: with just three varieties of indoor plants, you can grow your own fresh air.



Convinced? I am. In fact, I vowed that when I move to my new condo, I'll grow more indoor plants (although not necessary like the ones that Kamal Meattle mentioned). I promise to blog about that.
