You don't need a jungle.
You need THE plant. The one that thrives in your light, matches your space, and brings you actual joy.
Bamboo for growth. Snake plant for resilience. Peace lily for tranquility.
One perfect plant > twelve dying ones. 🌿

Don’t aim for tidy.
Aim for repeatable.

Friend asked how I keep my flat so tidy.
Told her the truth: I don't own enough anymore to make a mess.
She looked disappointed, like she wanted a life hack.
The life hack is having less stuff to hack.
