So this past week I have retreated to the world of plants. Really nothing is more fun and they liven up the home making it naturally cozier. But you’ve already read about all those tips so no need to go there again.
So when “Things we Love” showed up on the planning today and I was assigned to make another fab illustration my mind was still set in plant mode. For this reason we have cacti on today’s menu. Because a cactus is a plant that survives summery tropical temperatures contrary to other leafy greens that go limp in too much sunlight or heat. That prickly plant happens to be hip and is the newest must-have item, following right behind the Vitra-chair, the glass bell and the cabinet of curiosities.
You understand that I have one, a cactus. And the cactus is the first plant, aside from the banana plant my friends gave me, to do well in my home. And like with all good things here at the office, I followed through on the trend at home and gave it a name: Carl the Cactus. A drop of water once a week and he’s excruciatingly happy. There’s even a show of flower buds so that must be a good sign. It might seem like a prickly stranger you have to keep at a safe distance but nothing is further from the truth, the cactus is loved.
You know that I have immersed myself in the world of plants. Really, nothing is more fun than that and it makes your home a lot cozier. But also those tips you have of course already read and I don’t need to elaborate on that anymore.
So when there was again a ‘Things we Love’ on the planning today and I had to make another fabulous illustration, I stayed in that plant world. And so today there is a cactus on the menu. Because a cactus is a plant that survives this exaggerated tropical temperatures unlike any other plant that immediately becomes a bit limp with too much sunlight and heat. That prickly little plant is now also super trendy and is the new must-have item after the Vitra chair, the bell jar, and the letterbox.
That cactus, you understand, I have that too. And the cactus is therefore the first plant that, besides the banana plant from my friend, has been doing well in my home for more than two months. And like with all things here at the office, I have also implemented the trend at home and it has received a name for an even better bond. Carl the cactus. A drop of water once a week and he is at his happiest. Flowers are starting to come, so I think that’s a good sign. It seems like a prickly thing that you have to keep at a distance, but nothing could be further from the truth, the cactus is loved.
