This Monstera grows like a dream, and at one-to-two feet tall, it’s the perfect “tree” alternative for plant buyers who aren’t working with a whole lot of space. This is another species that loves some damp soil, so make sure your watering is consistent and Bob’s your uncle.

Yes, it does smell amazing. Yes, it does bloom gorgeously. Yes, you do need one.

This classic herb is really the gift that just keeps on giving.

Ok, so there's a long-standing tradition/art form when it comes to bonsai trees, and it involves training the roots to grow in cool ways through pruning.
