Quiz: How Green Is Your Thumb?

Beautiful plants breathe life into our daily environments, but keeping them vibrant requires a little know-how. Are your leafy companions thriving, or do you have a habit of loving them a bit too much with the watering can?

One or two. We don't talk about them.

A few. I keep buying them anyway.

I've stopped counting. Or buying.

A plant on your desk starts looking a little sad. What do you do?

Move it to a sunnier spot and cross my fingers

Avert my eyes and wait for a miracle

How do you feel about the plants (or lack thereof) in your office right now?
