We millennials who are all living in rented apartments need a sense of home when we get back from work, and what better than plants making us feel homely, right?

Plants give a “Back to nature” feel, and for people who can’t have a garden, indoor plants are the best! It is said that plants are the new pets, and we have seen Instagram burst out with numerous plant mommas out there showing off their house plants! They are all in the trend for #plantsofinstagram and #houseplant generation now! And we totally agree with the millennialism that we do need to keep up to this trend, because this trend is worthy of following.
