This week we're mixing up indoor/outdoor lines with a #houseplantvacation.

Do you allow your hard-working houseplants a little time off during the growing season to be the plants they were born to be? Just as we could all use a little time soaking up the sun, getting the drinks in, and feeling fresh air on our faces, our houseplants could too.

What a shame that time outside doesn’t make us look years younger like our plants.

Marianne shares her thoughts as the author of Tropical Plants and How to Love Them, and Leslie shares her desperation as someone who wants a clean & beautiful house at the beginning of spring.
