Is it common for people to grow plants at home in your country?

Yes, it's actually quite common in China, especially in cities like Shanghai where I live. Many people grow plants at home, even if they don't have a garden-they'll use balconies or windowsills. I think it's partly because urban life can feel quite disconnected from nature, so having plants brings a bit of that balance back. For example, my neighbor Mrs. Chen, who I mentioned earlier, turns her small balcony into this lush little green space. That said, not everyone has the time or patience for it-some prefer low-maintenance plants like succulents, which are really popular here.
