× I enjoy taking care of them and I think they're really nice for the aesthetic and the interior.
✓ I enjoy taking care of them and I think they're really nice for the aesthetics and the interior.
The word 'aesthetic' is a noun or adjective, but in this context, the plural noun 'aesthetics' is appropriate to refer to the overall visual appeal. Using 'aesthetic' singularly here is incorrect.
× I've always liked to grow strawberries because umm I know when that I pick them up they will be fresh and I can eat a healthy and non-toxic fruit.
✓ I've always liked growing strawberries because I know that when I pick them, they will be fresh and I can eat a healthy and non-toxic fruit.
The sentence has awkward phrasing and unnecessary words like 'to grow' after 'liked' and 'umm' which should be omitted. Also, 'when that I pick them up' is incorrect; it should be 'when I pick them'. The verb form after 'liked' should be the gerund 'growing' rather than the infinitive 'to grow'.
