STUDY GROUP QUESTIONS

 

1. Why do you think some people are better at raising plants than others?

 

I guess this could be from childhood experience or maybe genetic thing. I have never learnt and looked up information to grow my plants but I am quite good at it. My father’s family and cousins used to be all farmers growing peaches and pears in the countryside, my father’s hometown. I might have the farmer's genes from my father’s side. I can just tell from intuition how much attention the plants need, not too much but enough caring for them.

 

2. Describe some of the advantages of raising plants indoors.

 

Firstly, Raising plants indoors provides your room with more oxygen so this is good for your health.

Secondly, raising plants is highly effective in gathering yourself as well. Many people grow some specific plants and have the time looking after them as a part of their life. I think it helps calm their mind a lot. Having another living thing helps your mental health as well because humans feel happy when looking after other living things.

Lastly, it is good for interior items as well. When I was a little kid, we had a big ivy on the  whole wall of the living room. I still feel like it was just a part of my house or my family. Now I am trying it for myself on my place’s balcony with similar ivy pots and this makes me feel like I am in a similar place with my old house. It gives me nostalgia as well.

 

3. What are some things you do to make your home feel more comfortable?

I feel more comfortable having some cushions and soft surfaced blankets at home. I like smooth, soft, fluffy and warm feelings from these items. Just putting my body on them melts away stress and makes my body so comfortable.
