# I’ve been thinking about this for weeks now.. what plant do you think…

_Posted by Liv on 2023-08-31_

I’ve been thinking about this for weeks now.. what plant do you think would grow well in a car?!?! My mom gave me a snake plant cutting in a plastic cup for transport and I took it home with me in the cup holder of my back seat… and in typical ADHD fashion I left it in there for about 3 weeks just refilling the water ever so often lol. It was a little experiment, but then I went on vacation and TRULY forgot about it so it fully dried up and died lol. For a plant to survive in the car for me ay least it would definitely have to be in the summer I’m thinking (east coast, jersey) but I wanted to see everyone’s thoughts!! It was kind of a cute way to decorate my car with a plant somehow LOL

Get a crochet plant! I really don’t recommend a car as an environment for a plant because when you’re not in it, the heat and cold can get very extreme which can lead to damage or death.

Ah that is so cute!! Yeah I don’t think itd be optimal environment for any plant, but it got me thinking! Hehe

And honestly if you’re up for it I don’t think it would be difficult to make

I literally spied one just like that in a car about an hour ago lol. It had little flowers too. So cute!

Maybe a gasteria could work… but no guarantees

Oooh gonna look it up! I haven’t heard of it and it’ll be a fun way to learn about new plants hehe

I'd have to do an aloe or cactus. My desert climate is a real hag. 🫠
