If only these houseplants could talk. It’s easy to imagine they’d be screaming their indignation at the wintertime perches we’ve assigned them — places of painfully low light near some drafty window — in the inhospitable arid zone that is indoor heating season. “Enough, I’m begging you!” And: “Get me out of here!” But they…
