Live Plants for Tori

Planting plants for Tori

"I will be the first to admit, I am not a plant lady. Now, I love them. I love the way they look in my house, and when Erin comes to decorate, I'll have all the plants you give me. I'm not really good at figuring out how to do it. I just help out."

-Whitney Bates

Now that she has moved to East Tennessee and seen all her sisters with live plants in their homes, Tori is ready to "raise" some of her own. Just before Tori welcomes Kolter, Whitney and Erin help get her started with some new house plants (web exclusive video below).

  1. I love live plants but I just can't seem to keep them alive. The only plant we have right now that I haven't killed is a aloe vera plant we keep by the kitchen sink. I've had it for four years now and it seems to be thriving quite well.

  2. What does the abbreviation stand for on Chad's shirt? I've seen other members of the family wear that design.

    8. I wonder why these moms who don't believe moms should work are working. Why is it ok for them, and not other women? Also how do they "manage their home," homeschool, pay attention to their children, run a business and have a baby every other year? I wonder what suffers.

  5. My Mom always said she could kill a plastic plant. She's correct. Everone has a God given talent.

    1. Plants? I don't think they're focused on plants.

  7. Ellie, I see other people posting things that are just like my comments. Why are you not allowing me to post my comment on Tori being lazy? The fact that she has moved three times and doesn't do anything on her own? She's married and yet she cannot decorate her own home after three moves? It's time for Tori to actually stop depending on her family to do everything. Once maybe nice but every time is just wrong. She could have did these plants on her own.
