How to decorate The Dark Side
I need a new house plant. Nathaniel, whom I finally identified as Ficus Deltoidea, doesn't feel well on my desk. There's too little sunlight where he stands, so all his branches started doing crazy acrobatics to get to the window, and left the trunk naked and dead-looking.
And, no, he's not malnourished - the leaves that do reach the window are even ridiculously lively for this time of the year.
So it's been decided that Nathaniel has to find another spot. Which leaves my CD shelves looking a bit sad and lonely.
I have to place something green there. I'm thinking of trying something climbing. Ivy supposedly doesn't need light... And it would look so awesome if it would grow wild and spread a little to the walls *_*
I wonder if such thick green walls can be achived indoors... Especially when my room isn't exactly humid... (read: in the winter the heater is almost always on, the window is almost never open).
Alternatively:
I've always loved those half-pots you hang from the wall in cascades. Maybe I could have two or three ferns placed one above the other creating a little hanging garden.
A shame that ferns look decently weepy and hang-ish only when they are of man eating size. The little ones would probably sprout upwards. The bigger ones would attack my face.
And there goes my babylonian fantasy...
