Good morning, Good Day readers!

I love house plants. And after killing three or four of them in a row, two years ago I finally found my perfect match.

I asked the lady at the plant nursery if she had something that was really, really, really hard to kill. (My “resilient” succulent had been no match for my parenting skills.)

She smiled and showed me a plant she said would only thrive if I neglected it and in return, it would help clean toxins from my living space. I’m pretty sure he’s a snake plant or something similar, and he’s still alive and growing to this day.
