Evan's favourite houseplant: "This inch plant is my favourite plant because, as someone who has not had a ton of success with taking care of houseplants, this particular plant is thriving beautifully. I'm also a huge fan of the green and purple, made all the more vibrant by the shiny reflective bounce the texture of the leaves create."

April's favourite houseplant: "It is both amazing and miraculous. It is amazing because when given to me last fall it was just a small unidentified water plant but over the winter it sprouted spectacular roots and shot up to be over four feet tall. It is miraculous because one night not long ago, before going to bed I held its stalk in my hand and wished it would produce a flower. The next morning a blossom had appeared. I can now identify it as Zantedeschia aethiopica, the Giant White Calla Lily!”
