My Peperomia <3

Last semester, my mom bought me a house plant because she stole adopted my dorm cactus. We went to the Tallahassee Nursery out on Thomasville and I picked out a pretty little peperomia! It gets a little sun through the window and otherwise just looks really amazing. Sometimes, if the weather is nice, I will set it outside on the window air conditioner unit.

Having a house plant is really nice. It improves air quality! That is super important for our apartment because it reeked of smoke when we first moved in. I think the previous tenant was a smoker. My fiancé has a strong sense of smell and any smoke bothers him a lot. Between the air conditioner, the plant, and a few candles, we have managed to fight the smell, but some days it is still pretty bad in the kitchen where the smoke has been painted into the cabinets.

Plants also just look really nice! They update and soften the look of the room. In a sea of artificial and man-made furnishings, it is great to be able to have a breathe of nature in my living room!
