Contrary to my reputation, I struggle with plants. I love them, have them all over my house, but my track record with keeping them alive is a solid 50/50. The secret weapon behind my perceived plant prowess is actually my husband. He is a plant whisperer extraordinaire (but don’t tell him I told you, as I like to keep him humble).
