Due to my lack of care, a lot of the bonsai plants given during class already looks like they’re dying with much of their leaves lost.

Indoor Plant Installation
There are 2 tiny windows in my basement. I utilized the natural sunlight from one of them for my row of succulent plants, and to utilize the other one, I created an indoor plant installation using scrap resources I found while packing my stuff earlier.
