I know I've talked a lot recently about house plants. I guess it's because I'm surrounded by them because we have to bring so many of our plants in for the winter.

I know you've seen the house plants for sale at the home improvement stores. Some of them can get pretty pricey, but if you're getting a really nice, large, healthy plant, then it might be worth it. If you care for it really well and it grows and adds beauty to your home (as well as oxygen - see post Creating Oxygen for years to come, then it might well be worth the price.

Besides the home improvement stores, check out your local nurseries. The selection might be better and the prices might be comparable.

Pay attention to the needs of the plant to see if you will be able to care for it. If it only lives for a short time then it definitely won't be worth the price.
