If your looking for a way to spice up the collection I recommend going to a plant store and grabbing plants that you can propagate easily because they keep you more interested in your plants. I also recommend trying different hydro and semi hydro systems with plants because I like experimenting a bit. For plant care just don’t make it complicated and don’t move plants around constantly. Also I have a gallon jug with fertilizer water and every month I give my plants at least one watering with it.
