I have several plants around the house and office that I care for and have learned a great deal about giving them proper attention and maintenance. Living in Rutherford, I’ve adapted to the seasonal changes in northern New Jersey—adjusting watering schedules during humid summers and dry winters, rotating plants for balanced sunlight, and selecting varieties that thrive in our climate. Caring for these plants has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and attention to detail, as I regularly monitor soil health, light exposure, pruning needs, and overall plant wellness.
