A roommate and I are planning on planting a bunch of garlic chives at some point, though they might be more of a "toss them outside and let them do their thing" kinda deal. I DO want to get a money tree at some point, the kind with the braided trunks. I Just Think They're Neat. and maybe I'll get a pothos too, they're supposed to be easy to propagate. but OUGH, what if I ALSO got a monstera while I'm at it--
