Well, we don’t really intend to rent them. It’s just that they die so quickly (at least around me) that it only feels like you get them for a short term....rentals.

First, I apologize for braggin' on Grandma....as well as all the rest of "our girls".

I swear they all could make a brick sprout.

Eldest daughter has hanging plants (ivys and spider plants) so thick around their place she uses 'em for drapes.

The ladies all water and trim and take care of their plants (plus a lot of the neighbors' when they start killin' their plants off) so I don't do much but enjoy and bring home fifty-pound bags of plant soil every couple of months.

Grandma's latest is an herb garden over the kitchen sink plus a chive that's big as a washtub in the back porch window.

Eldest g-grand daughter sits up on the counter by the sink and eats rosemary and basil by the fistfuls and we all eat on those chives every time we bake some spuds.

Good stuff.

(Grandma claims the biggest problem folks have keeping plants is they over water.....just a hint.)

Key is discovering which houseplants are compatible to the light you have your room and not overwatering.

Thanks for the reply.Sorry but had to go to bed last night,so much wining is exhausting.
I use have beautiful ivy growing in my house and always Aloe Vera! Now I have one inside plant that was given to me when my Dad passed away 5 years ago and it’s still looks great.
My Dad must still be looking after me. It’s the only reason this plant is still living.
