By Jesse Eastman Do you or someone you know suffer from Houseplantitis? This common but underdiagnosed condition affects plant lovers around the globe. Common symptoms include: You can’t see out your windows because they are full of plants. You have no more small dinner plates because they’ve all been repurposed as plant saucers. You regularly […]
