Many people, however, have had unpleasant experiences trying to maintain indoor plants. They may be busy with work, for example, and forget to water their little indoor forest. Or they may go away on a business or holiday trip for a few days and be unable to care for their plants. Returning home they find a withered forest.
不過也有不少人曾有過這種不愉快經驗──工作繁忙或出差、旅行多日而忘記或無法澆水，回來後心愛的盆栽已經枯死，就算有再多悔恨也無法挽回。
