Ha, I knew I'd love this from the title! xD I love that bonsai (is it?) in the top photo and to be honest, I'm a little jealous of your cactus there. I have a very similar one, but it's not looking very well. It's been quite cold here, so maybe that's it.

You can't, out of snobbery or pure whim, fill spaces with plants if you can't take care of them.

I completely agree. I hate it when I go over to someone's house and they've let their plants die and wither away. Thanks for taking us through your routine! You seem like a very kind plant-person :)
