I mean, seriously, you are just saying I can't be trusted with a plant but I want people to believe I am with this plastic poo poo.

Everyone knows it's plastic.

It's like carrying around a purse that says Guuchi.

I have a thing for olives. My oldest daughter is even holds the namesake – Olive. An olive is a spiritual symbol for peace and tranquility, so it’s completely understandable why people are now wanting olive trees in their homes. The small leaf tree trend isn’t going anywhere with its charming, stylish feel that it adds to any room. Unless you live in Mediterranean climate though, it’s going to be tricky keeping a real one alive. Trust me, I dropped $90 on one only for it to bite the dust within a month. That’s why, in this case, I say, “Go faux!”

Get an air plant if you can't remember to water it.

I've definitely killed a few air plants

You can kill any plant, it's on you and you can buy another one, fake plants are a lie from the start.

There's never anyone there. It's quite peaceful.







Fake plants can gently caress right off.

believe or not 3o some people purchase items to make their living space more relaxing or enjoyable and are not trying to impress people with everything they buy.

some fake plants can make a room nicer to be in without the maintenance associated with real plant life and they aren't doing it to make people think they are a plant care master

Hey Three Olives you recently posted an interior shot of your place on here and it's got a real "The Professor Who Lives In The College Town Who Still Drinks With Students" kinda look to it.

Seriously your place looks like it smells like tahineh and shoes.

I'm the emotional baby who sometimes buys the sickly looking plants and tries to nurse them back to health.

Got about a 50/50 success rate.

Trying to germinate the seeds from a store-bought jalapeño atm.

Last year the birds ate all my cherry tomatoes and I only got like 3

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I used to have one festooned with christmas lights for ambience back in the day and every woman I brought over thought it was funny as hell and also a deal breaker

This. A plastic plant isn't fake, it represents pure essense of the plant uncorrupted by living. A metaplant.
