I love plants in the home. I love flowers, and greenery, and the respective colour and serenity they imbue. I especially love them around this time of year when getting outside during daylight hours can be a challenge — they bring the outside in, they are demonstrably beneficial for our mental health, and they (often) improve our home's air quality. 

The problem, unfortunately, is that I kill almost every botanical being that has the misfortune of entering my home.
