My friend leaving me many plants to take care of while he’s on vacation had triggered my passion for indoor gardening once again. In addition to my friend’s many plants, I bought many more of my own. My northeast facing window sill was perfect in recreating the Garden of Eden planting system I designed (and still testing and improving) from my HK studio.
Besides my favorite succulents, which are hardy and requiring minimal maintenance, I was also given the opportunity to care for a few orchids. Read up on it from Wikipedia before attempting to repot them. Also scaled up my planter system by using buba straws to incorporate the bigger houseplants. The planter system was installed at a small corner of my kitchen counter because orchids don’t need much direct sunlight.
This home gardening project had brought me much delight, the new home now feels more complete with the added greenery. It had also got me fancy the idea of opening a small flower shop cafe once again. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little shop where plant and coffee lovers can meet and shop for a pretty plant to bring home, not just to beautify but also to suck up the carbon dioxide and oxygenate their interior space? Wouldn’t the world be a better place with more plants?
