An amazing 18 million Australians have done just that – filling our homes and gardens with leafy friends is a craze growing faster than devil’s ivy, and is one that’s definitely here to stay!
It’s clear Australia’s relationship with the humble plant is changing, and over the last few months Plant Life Balance has been on a mission to find out:
