We are almost done with the nursery room for the coming of our second child. Of course, the room will never be complete without any live plants in it. So, we stroll around the mall to look for the perfect indoor plant or houseplant that we could place on the table top of the nursery room. We decided to buy a flower arrangement, but later hesitated to buy natural flowers because they wither and die in just a few days. Considering those facts, we also decided to buy silk flowers. Since, they could last a lifetime and they need no maintenance at all. But, we soon realize that the room will be air conditioned, so there is a need for a live plant to clean the air. And so, we kept on searching for the right plant to go along with the decorations of the room.
We stop by at a gardening shop, to look for some tools and saw these beautiful ponytail plant in bonsai pot. I immediately fell in love with it's beauty. I told my husband about it, and bought it for the nursery room. It has a large trunk for a small plant, which can store more water, allowing it to withstand some drought. So no worries even if, we can't water it for a day. It's delicate leaves also gives the impression of a water fall, which makes it more interesting. And lastly, the ponytail plant tolerates well with low humidity common in a room with air condition. Knowing all of these details, we bought the 3 ponytail plant with a happy heart. We went home knowing that we have found what we are looking for and with a satisfactory smile on our faces.
Sometimes, it is when we stop looking for something that we finally get to see what we truly need. That is the irony of life. We are very thankful, because we are almost done with the nursery room and also getting more excited everyday to see our second child.
