2. Fake plants

Those fake ivy plants, ficus, and bonsai trees need to go right now! Yeah, they were popular in the ’90s because people were busy and wanted something low-maintenance to look good 24/7, but I have a better alternative.

Being a retiree comes with many ups and downs, so why not take some time and turn your beautiful home into a little green oasis that will inspire you to embrace the changes you’ll go through?

Having some pretty, fresh plants that are natural, scented, and beautifully colored is going to make a huge difference in your home as well as your mood. Fake plants only take up space and collect dust and bacteria, so it’s better to stick to natural ones.

And now that you’re a retiree, you sure have a lot of time to give your pretty plants a little TLC each morning. If you’re looking for a stunning plant that will brighten up your space while being low-maintenance, you should consider getting a Chinese evergreen.
