If you’ve collected your fair share of plants (no matter if they are large indoor plants or convincing artificial plants) over the years, it’s safe to say you’ve committed to being a plant parent. Congratulations! Not only do plants transform your most intimate spaces with oxygen and biophilic design, they also become a part of the family.
Being a green parent comes with all sorts of quirks, like talking to your plants, playing music for them, buying them lovely planters, and naming them, among other things. Of course, you don’t have to do all of these, but identifying your leafy greens with funny plant names definitely has many benefits and zero downsides.
Not only will humanizing your plants help you speak out loud to them more often (which is good!), but it’ll remind you of each plant’s unique needs . . . like how Christofern likes indirect sunlight and how Teeny Weeny only needs to be watered a few times a week. It takes some getting used to, but once you’ve established your cute plant names, your care for them will only get better. If you’re interested, have a look at a few funny names for plants that we’ve come up with, ahead.
