"Artificially Incorrect"
For me, house plants are indicators of nurturing people and those in touch with the language of plants. It took me a year of effort to learn the language of plants. Since then I can't walk outside without trees and bushes talking to me...
Anyways, I just think Plastic Plants are like having a fake bird in a bird cage or a plastic fish anchored to string in a lifeless fish tank. I just don't get it. It's one thing for a man to sport plastic plants. And I could be sexist, but when a woman can't maintain a simple green life, it just makes me wonder...
Ok, it's a little sexist, but I hear ya. I can't stand plastic plants myself, but I understand them in the workplace. Not in your home though. I have plants in my apartment in 2 "tiny" planter boxes, but I would rather have a large garden I can tend to.

You are so right. I have wondered why I can't keep a live plant... On the other hand, I once killed a cactus. I think the real plants are very happy I only deal in plastic!

Good for you. Plants provide good vibes.

I've grown incredibly sensitive toward all plants and flowers over the years and I find plastic flowers more acceptable than decapitated ones.

You killed a cactus.... Speechless :)

There are plenty of good looking women across the US who are filled up with plastic. Plastic is a faux beauty of its own to those who want to believe the illusion.
