My mother is not that into gardening but she takes care and looks over our plants in our backyard. She also prefers real live plants to be inside the house as a decoration rather than buying silk flowers as our ornament. It’s because other people believe that those plants represent the members living inside the house. People with live plants inside their houses are people who show their real personality compared to those with fake ones characterizing their trying-to-be-somebody-else persona. It won’t kill to believe, so whatever! You decide.
