| - On the hunt for the perfect desk plant, I went out of my way to Ecostems on a chilly February saturday.
Hipster looking pots, globes, planters, baskets brimmed with healthy looking plants.
I spotted some beautiful, self-declared sustainable (with prices to match the claim) terraniums. While I pondered picking one up for our apartment, the owner (Joe) provided his thoughts on the care of the plants.
When I noted that my home had north western exposure, Joe shook his head... and reccomended that I get an apartment with better light....
Let me reiterate, for entertainment's sake: consider uprooting one's life in order to accomodate apartment plants.
I thought this was funny, more than anything else.
Anyway, I found a little airplant ($10ish), but unfortunately, the machine didn't work- so having no cash, I walked away empty handed.
4 stars for the entertainment value of the owner's comments
3 stars for the price (if truely sustainable, then I'd be okay with the value)
1 star as I couldn't pay for what I wanted, so my mission for a desk-friend remains unfulfilled.
