저도 식물을 좋아해서 집에 식물이 엄청 많은데요. 처음 식물 키울 때의 그 설렘과 기다림이 생각나네요. 매일 달라지는 파릇파릇한 녀석들을 보는 게 너무 재밌었던 기억이 납니다. 지금은 식태기인지 좀 시들해졌네요. 그래도 여전히 식물은 좋아합니다 ㅋ
한글 지문
플랜테리어는 plant와 interior를 합친 합성어이다. 요즘 숲 속처럼 보이게 인테리어를 한 백화점을 많이 볼 수 있다. 실내에서 보는 숲속 인테리어는 안구를 정화시켜주고 힐링을 제공한다.
혼자 사는 가구나 가정집에서도 허브나 꽃 등을 흔히 기른다. 이러한 식물은 유익한 취미 생활이 될 뿐만 아니라 심신을 안정시키는 데 도움을 주기도 한다. 허브와 꽃의 은은한 향이 집 안을 가득 채우면서 사람들의 기분을 좋게 해 준다. 식물을 키우며 느끼는 즐거움이나 성취감도 또 다른 재미이다.
나도 요즘 식물에 부쩍 관심을 갖기 시작했다. 장점이 많은 허브 종류를 키워 볼까 한다. 우리 집은 반려동물을 키우기 때문에 식물이 탈취제 역할을 해주기를 기대한다.

Q. Why do you think plants are such a popular element of interior design?
A. The green color of plants makes the indoor place lively. I think this is because plants are literally alive. They always change and grow. Modern people who spend in artificial places most of the day can't help loving natural things.
Q. Describe any plants you keep at home or in the office. How do you care for them?
A. I raise various kind of plants at home. I put my plants in front of the window so that they could gat a lot of sunlight. I ventilate frequently to prevent pest, and pour water when the pot becomes lighter.
