I love indoor house plants and have them scattered around my home. I also love salvaging and recycling containers as pots and have collected many of my plants from piles of dumped garden waste in bushland. This is one of my favourites. I weeded it from a precious patch of bushland and it lives in a pre-loved casserole dish that had lost its lid. Not only do indoor plants look good, they also improve your health and wellbeing.
