Plants not only bring life into your space, but they can make your house feel even more like a home. Even if your interior is tiny, bringing in a small plant or two is a great idea. Here are 4 tips to help you care for indoor plants even if you don't have a green thumb. 

1. Humidity. Plants need additional humidity to thrive. Mist your plants occasionally, or bring them into the bathroom when you take a shower.
2. Light Control. Check to see how much light your plant requires, and place it accordingly in your space. Too much or too little light can negatively affect its growth. 
3. Watering. Again, check and see how much water your plant requires, and follow the guidelines. Especially in a small space, it's easy to remember to water your plant if its in a highly visible area. 
4. Design. Plants enhance the style and design of your home. Pick out pretty pots, and make sure that they're big enough to provide adequate room for the plant's roots! 

If you’re looking for a delicious French-influenced meal in Charlottesville, you have many choices, but locals know that Petit Pois will always deliver the goods. The menu here is simple and clean, letting the natural flavors of the excellent ingredients come to the fore. For appetizers, the French onion soup is a favorite, packing deep, decadent flavors that satisfy. The frisee salad topped with poached eggs is also amazing. Entrees are equally top-notch, with frequent diners recommending the grilled swordfish with braised Napa cabbage, the flavorful, colorful beet risotto and the Provencal stew, which is served with slices of crusty French baguette for dipping. Leave room for dessert – their chocolate mousse is fantastic, as is the crème caramel. On sunny days, sitting outside on their tree-lined patio is wonderful, although the interior is nice as well.  Prices are reasonable considering the high quality of the food, and service is impeccable.
