I just want to say thank you for being my plant family!! I fell into this because of empty nest syndrome 😭 and everyone in my real world circle thinks I’m a tad bit 🤪!!! I really appreciate everyone who likes and comments my many posts and that we all share plants 🪴 with each other 🌱🪴💓

So true but also appreciated! Also those of us that are a little bit different are usually pretty good about finding others of the same caliber and joining up in friendship! ❤️🤪

What a great idea. Thank you!!

Same here girl! I noticed when my kids started high school my interest in plants went wild. I think it because I needed something to nurture where they needed me less😢. I am a crazy plant lady now!

Mine was college and one moved out completely 😭

I feel ya. I’m empty nesting too.

### Mandrakes\&More commented on 2026-07-30

This community is so amazing, people not even hesitating to help each other out and give love to all our plants. I’m so glad your plants helped with your empty nest! Mine helped with depression ☺️☺️

#### Jamie replied on 2026-07-30

That’s wonderful to hear!!

I love it here as well! My family feels the same lol. I stopped by a garden center yesterday and had a great visit with the owners! I left feeling encouraged and learned about plants in our own area. They are also a great resource when you need an extra boost 😊

#### Jamie replied on 2026-07-31

Aww thank you !! 😊

### Lisa\_starch\_bishop commented on 2026-07-31

Agreed. I don’t have anyone in my circles interested in houseplants so I come here to share, look at, and ask tips for plants. It’s an outlet and resource I really need. ☺️
