We just potted our Snake plant and I love how easy-to-grow and architectural it is. I just saw that West Elm’s blog, Front & Main, featured one the other day.
What are your favorite houseplants? Also, we just picked up these beautiful Case Study planters by Modernica from Room & Board. Does anybody have a good source for straight-sided black and white pots like these (or like these ones by Architectural Pottery)? We keep getting outbid on Ebay—it’s incredible how expensive they can be!
No Friday links, but here are some travel posts I wrote for Babble this week, if you’re interested:

Sanseviera/Snake plant/Mother-in-law’s tongue is my favorite house plant since I was a kid.
It was in my 40s that I saw the tiny white orchid like flowers.
I love pothos because they are so low maintenance and also easy to cut new starts from. I have a snake plant too that is pretty low key. I love those modernica pots, maybe a splurge this spring…
I bought a snake plant a few months ago and just bought another, smaller one, last night. I’m going through a plant phase–can’t get enough! Maybe west elm/west elm market for plant pots? They’ve got some nice ones in their site.
Thanks for the suggestion! I just ordered a planter from them!
I just had a very strange time trying to comment on one of the babble posts, fyi. I was attempting to comment with Babble’s form, not the Facebook one.
What a bummer to hear that! I just looked and saw that your comment was in but not “approved.” I changed the status and replied. Thanks for letting me know!
Those plants are incredibly common in Malta (tiny Mediterranean island), although I can’t say I’ve ever seen the flowers. Odd.
Ikea might have a few options.
Ooo…I love those planters. I don’t have much a green thumb, so currently I’m sticking to an air plant. I love the contrast of the green with the bright white.
I love having house plants! It’s nice to have some living green tucked in among your things. I have several pothos in pretty pots – they’re so hardy. I’ve been meaning to get a snake plant as well because they do have a neat look to them. I hear that they’re also fairly hardy house plants too.
