Living with a flatmate obsessed with plants has transformed the living space into a botanical experiment. Despite loving the beauty of plants, the excessive propagation has led to clutter and mess. Various plant cuttings and leaves have spread throughout the small flat, with over 40 plants now present. The flatmate actively sells and gives away some plants, yet the overwhelming presence persists. Although the indoor gardening chaos includes dropped soil and blocked sinks, there are positives, such as having a thriving herb garden that includes basil and thyme.
Every surface has something sprouting on it. I didn't sign up to live in a botanical experiment. I love plants in our flat - they're gorgeous.
If she'd placed the plant out of the way, it wouldn't have happened. I feel like a guest in a trendy houseplant shop that never shifts enough plants.
Cleo has started listing some on Facebook Marketplace and giving them to friends, but we're still surrounded. There must be over 40 plants in our flat.
There are good sides to Cleo's green fingers. I do love having our own herb garden - Cleo makes sure there is always basil and thyme on the windowsill.
