Green Homes for Black Thumbs: 11 Easy Ways to Plant-ify Your Pad

There’s no denying it: In the world of home decor, plant-filled pads are where it’s at. Particularly with the impending arrival of spring, every home, website, and store window display is rife with lush leaves, tropical trees, and prickly, sculptural cacti.

But as much as we love the look of going green, the truth is that not everyone is a natural-born indoor gardener — and plants that were lively at your local nursery can quickly turn black without the proper care and sunlight. Too bad and so sad.

The good news? You can still turn your home into a beautiful, greenery-filled oasis — without needing to own (read: kill) a single actual plant. Click through for our picks to transform the home of even the blackest thumbs.
