Liven up your dorm room with plants

821

Plants are a wonderful thing. They add a little beauty into the world and make people smile.

With that being said, the perfect plants to have in a dorm room are: cacti, succulents, aloe vera, mint, bamboo and a bonsai tree.

Cacti and succulents don’t really get crazy big. Or at least, they don’t grow very fast. They are easy to maintain and can be left alone for a few days while you’re away.

Plus, succulents come in a variety or colors and are perfect for making a fairy garden (Pinterest it).

Aloe vera does grow at a faster rate, but it can be used for a variety of things. It’s just a great plant to have.

Finally, mint. It smells nice, it will keep your room fresh and it has some other health benefits if you need to ingest it.

Having a plant in your dorm room is great because at least something else is living in there.

Oh, and if you’re wondering about the bamboo and bonsai tree, they would be great conversation starters.
