Live,low maintnance or artifitial

I have beautiful plants and a lot of gardens in my yard,i love yard work.I spend more time outside than inside,but of course i do not work...I only have one live plant inside my house and the others are just artificial flowers ,but not but one of them..I do have a large porch and i do have quite a few plants on my porch..Cactus and bonsi is a very good choice when you do not have time for plants though,they are very pretty and low maintainence...

I prefer NO plants, artificial or otherwise. Both collect DUST. Artificial is just that, artificial. Live plants need maintenance, become unruly, can become infested, and if not cared from "nicely" become UGLIER than artificial plants! They are also a MESS to clean up after... dropping leaves/flower petals, etc. on the floors/carpeting. Flowers... fresh ONLY. And to keep the water clear and not get SMELLY/stinky/green on you, put a DROP of BLEACH in the water with the cut flowers. That kills the bacteria that causes the smelly/stinky/green water. It won't HURT the flowers, they're dying anyway! Besides, if you keep the bacteria from "eating" the flowers, the flowers will last a bit longer, too! If you like cactus, and would like to NOT OVERWATER them... here's a GREAT HINT. Either online or in your newspaper, keep a watch on the weather in Phoenix, AZ... if it RAINS in Phoenix, then WATER the cacti. If not, let it go!

I like fresh flowers myself a lot better then artifical ones. I have a hard time getting them to grow though. I have a aloe plant.

i really don't care for artificial flowers , silk or whatever. never have been good w/plants & don't have any in my house. do have some outin the yard on hooks & some in a black kettle that i am enjoying this year. never had time to fool w/them when i was working.

I am surprised my plants live. I forget to water them all the time. I think they have morphed into plants that need little water, as I am so bad!! LOL
