The start of a new year is a perfect time to consider cultivating the patience and consistency necessary to care for plants. This resolution will bear fruit, literally and figuratively, in the form of stress-relieving, therapeutic, contaminant-scrubbing, optimism-inducing greenery to enhance your space. Plants require paying attention, checking in, being there. They help to make us feel grounded, even if we’re ensconced in apartments way up in the sky. If keeping up with your kids or self-care is work enough and the thought of plant babies seems too much, cheat the system and fill your space with botanical prints, natural materials, and references to flora and fauna galore. That’ll do.
