BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Sowing the seeds of reassurance

An indoor plant subscription company says it wants you to “build a sustainable long-term relationship” with your houseplants and that its commitment to those of us who worry that our new green friends might not make it past a season now comes with insurance options.

Brooklyn, New York-based Horti recently announced on its Instagram feed two new “insurance plans” that will help plant lovers manage “plant care anxieties” with this pledge: “We promise that we won’t let your plants die, and if despite your best efforts you lose a plant — we will resurrect it!”

From its website: For $4.99, there’s Plant Reassurance, which provides preventive care and personalized advice from a “plant doctor” who can help diagnose and provide care tips for struggling plants. And for $9.99, one can purchase Plant Resurrection, which provides preventive care and personalized advice for any plant from Horti, plus this promise: “We will replace your plant if it cannot be saved despite our guidance and your best efforts.”
