Fill your home with greenery that'll never die with these 17 crocheted plants

Using plants and flowers to decorate a home is a tradition that goes back as far as ancient times. The difference between now and then is that back then, live flowers had to be used for decorating. Fake flowers were not an option. Today, silk flowers can be used to decorate; but for crochet aficionados, making flowers and potted plants out of yarn is also an option.
Crocheted plants and flowers have beauty in color and texture and can be used over and over without having to worry about caring for them. If you don't have a green thumb, you don't need to worry. These plants will never die. You can also make some of these flowers to use as decorations on packages. With the invention of the internet, many of these patterns are also listed for free for people who want to try their hand at making something new.
