🌟 Final Thoughts
Nothing about this change is loud.
No product.
No trend.
No pressure.
Just letting the spider plant do what it already knows how to do —
grow freely, visibly, and calmly.
That’s why it stops looking like a houseplant…
and starts looking like design.
Good setup changes how a plant — and a space — feels.
