# Hi, I’m new to the plant world! 🌎 I had ZERO 🙅🏻‍♀️ interest in…

Hi, I’m new to the plant world! 🌎 I had ZERO 🙅🏻‍♀️ interest in plants. But then came Penny, my first rubber plant I bought for my first apartment from Trader Joe’s. I named her like a joke until she started thriving. Like, really thriving! Out of nowhere, I became a little proud plant mom. Then Mac arrived… another rubber plant, gifted by my sweet friend as a house warming gift. And suddenly, this black-thumbed girl had two healthy, glossy, and green friends. 😅

Fast forward to today, I somehow acquired a mini plant bar for Mother’s Day. Tonight I surprised myself staying up to clean leaves, checking soil, trimming browning tips, and uploading their profiles to the Planta app like it was a dating site for ferns. I even took before and after photos. LOL

Deep down this feels fulfilling and life-giving.

Today I went to a local greenhouse and bought from neighbors via Facebook Marketplace. I totally get the obsession now. I get the deep-seated push to care for plant life and give them a bright future.

I can’t believe I’m talking to my plants, naming them, and making sure their timers are set for their grow lights! But here we are and I’m not mad about it. There’s beauty in growing things, in loving what not everyone deems lovable.

I’ve gone from 1 to 9 plants since January and Mother’s Day. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I know the feeling. My best friend gave me a peace lily after my parents passed away and my heart could not take losing it. So I found the Planta app to care for him, named him, and gave him some brothers. Now, I plan my entire life around my babies 💕

I sympathize with you. It’s so beautiful to see healthy hobbies that help us through life!

Have fun with that bamburanta. My mom gave me a cutting of that 3 years ago and now it's taller than me. That's what I like about plants. You don't control them, you just get to watch

You’re so right! Wow, looking forward to see that growth. 😍
