Positivity of Plants

During these challenging times, did you begin tending houseplants as a hobby? A Trees.com survey revealed 69% of 18-24-year-olds turned to “plant-keeping” to manage stress. By comparison, owning house plants is a new hobby for 26% of 25–34-year-olds, 21% of 35-44-year-olds, 25% of 45-54-year-olds, and 18% of people 55 and older.

Parenting plants is not an easy task. New plant owners realized there are many ways to destroy their newly found “roommates”, such as overwatering, underwatering, too much light, not enough light.
