Why Millennials Love Their Houseplant Jungles | Annals Of Obsession | The New Yorker
1:48 I chuckled at how excited she was with that fiddle leaf fig, I’m exactly like this everytime I have a new plant!
Carter Kidd, plant shopper 😀 😀
1:29 did she just say they came up with indoor gardening what
WOW
Didn’t realize it’s a millennials thing. Always thought I am quite alone with my "jungle". Well it’s not a jungle seeing how many plants some Youtuber have. My wishlist is also probably longer than the number of plants I have.– that said. Maybe It’s something nobody really tells you what you must do. You can have your own ideas and try them. See what is working or not. You do not need a degree , lessons, a licens, a membership or something else what controlles you. And for now having plants is not politically attached. And that’s just some things. In the end it looks beautiful and a room is more comfortable with plants. It makes me happy seeing a new leafe, a bloom or just that a plant is doing well.
el oh el @ the last scene though
Even if I’m one of them, but not only millenials, I think. Plants – for me, help me to keep sane, in this ‘crazy’ world. It keeps me feel ALIVE ♥
the girl who said we have plants to look cool ….WTF lmao maybe you but not us lol plants are life!
It’s not just millennials that love plants, Gen Z are also addicted to plants
omg who’s the YouTuber at 1:20… I might have to subscribe and turn on bell notifications 😂
WOW 2019. Girl ain’t seen nuthin’ yet…..
what is millenial
I really dislike the comment about "whether you have the plant or not, it looks cool on social media"…. if you’re that type…. lmao…. you probably dont even know which plant you’re taking a picture with!
Wondering… what do you do if you travel for a longer period?! Having this many plants… is beautiful, but I wouldn’t trust anybody to come and water them lol!
This is awesome, Summer Rayne! Thanks for the behind-the-scenes view. Plant lovers – check out our private FB group, The Sassy Plant. It’s a cheeky take on plants and gardening. Go here: https://facebook.com/groups/TheSassyPlant
6:31 I so want to do this, sleeping with my plants.
This is a recently developing obsession for me. Sort of came out of no where.
Love nature beautiful plants 🍃💚🇨🇭
Because we don’t get to spend any time out in the nature ? Because everything is ruined ? Let us have our plants
that amazing!
does anybody know who all the other "plant influencers" are that they showed in the video? Some of them seemed really cool and I can’t find them lol
I saw a scindapsus in a gardening center once and didn’t buy it cause I owned 0 plants at the time and wake up thinking about it every day now. I REGRET not buying it then.
Can we talk about that indoor hammock setup at 6:22 for a while, please
Does anyone knows what plant is at 6:08 ? Thanks!
Any one can love plants , whoever wrote this must love making money off a titles that literally make no sense.
Well we’re in our 30s and have no kids.
Love my plants
The reason I have so many plants is because I have seasonal depression and they are the only things that help me get through it. I tried multiple things.
very Good 💕👍
Me a 12 year old girl I like plants to
Millennials: no this is our thing
me encantan tus plantas 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Plants have a power to give ppl relaxation
Millennials in severe stress: I have to get plants
there were so many funny parts about this video. my favourites were
the final shot of her pretending to be asleep even though there was a whole camera crew in her house, and
"ever sinced we opened, we have sensed and increase in people coming in"
Its easier to take care of 100 plants then a child…
How do they ever go on vacation for a few weeks? Or do they never go on vacation?
….why do I have most of these lol
My grandpa have always loved plants. He has a beautiful garden and inspired me since I was little to take care of plants. I don’t think is a millennial thing.
I stan with them. More clean ear. Healthy habit. Why would anyone want to proclaim this to be a bad thing.
Love it
I have a ton of plants all my plants produce food or something useful and reside in a 2 bedroom apartment lmao, tomatoes, peppers, aloe,sage,basil, thyme,rosemary,green onions, lemons, lettuce, chard, marijuana, catgrass, catnip, parsley, fig tree, roses,mint etc. Some of these have multiples and some are different types of the same plant. Honestly I think in the world we live in being so stressful at times has resulted in many people picking this up as a hobby because it’s extremely relaxing and rewarding.
Summer is my queen 🌱
just imagine if they were edible
what’s up with all those ‘shoppers’ dressed in yellow?
Nice to meet another plant lover.🎄thanks for sharing..
Seeing as New Yorker were too ignorant to credit the creators used for content, anyone know the name of the black guy’s channel?
The key word is diversity. Nobody wants a flat green square, we understand nature isn’t standard
I love how she put it at the end. Plants are more than just your *aesthetic*🥺
Love what you do. Um doing this
5:23 yeah – he really looks like someone i would trust with my plants problems and growing sense of alienation
Jesus christ what are these people? New yorkers are down BAD…
