B
I would choose a pot of ferns because I love ferns and this one has lovely light green leaves.
The leaves would last for a month without wilting if I water it once a day, which means that it does
not need much care. I only need to fertilise it once every two months. I would prefer to buy ferns to
flowers as I am not too fond of flowers.
