Plant people are a whole category of human and honestly one of the better ones.

You know the type. Every corner of the apartment has something growing in it. Plants get named. Conversations happen between human and fern. Strong opinions about terracotta versus ceramic get shared whether you asked or not, and somehow you are now very informed.

If that sounds like someone you know, or if it sounds exactly like you, this list was written with you in mind.

Great For

• Captions for your plant shelfie because “new addition to the family” works but a pun works better
• Cards and tags on plant gifts, which are among the most personal gifts you can give
• Sending to your plant parent friend who will read every single one and send back three favorites
• Putting on a chalkboard sign near your plant display because yes that is absolutely a thing to do
