Does anyone else take care of plants? I've got a few myself, and they're actually really great to have around the place. They look cool, they keep the air fresh, and you develop a sense of well-being and happiness when you keep them alive for a while. It becomes more like a pet than a plant
I've got a Spider Plant, which you can see in this picture...
And another plant over there >>>

Wouldn't they be healthier since they don't breath oxygen?
I'm sure the nicotine and tar isn't good for ANY living thing.
plants are great to have around, i used to have some kind of little cactus. it would bloom at christmas. twas a gift from one of my foster moms.
Nicotine, a toxic chemical most often associated with cigarettes, has been used as an insecticide since colonial times.
Smoke in your room, keep your plants insect free.
The bowl contained some cereal which I had been eating for breakfast. Nothing plant related really
I usually water my spider plant once every weekend. Seems to work well.
Also, when I was like 4-6 I stabbed a 5 foot cactus in my parents house, repeatedly with a steak knife. No clue why. Then lied and said I had no idea what had happened to it.... Guess who didn't buy that excuse.
not sure about the toxicity mechanism for nicotine, but isnt it a nerve toxin and therefore not going to harm plants?
That's the thing - you don't see them having any benefits but they actually freshen the air, make the place look cooler (I've always thought green stuff looked cool anyway), and it's been proven that it could make you happier if you take care of them properly.
Cacti are pretty kewl guys, pricking people and doesn't afraid of anything.
Yep, nerve toxin. Plants are fine.
