Overly Proud Plant Parents

Like regular parents, but with more misting

They don’t have kids, but they do have a monstera named Derek. Here are five signs someone’s love for their plants has taken root… and completely overtaken their personality:

1. Their Fiddle Leaf Fig Has Its Own Instagram
“Derek is a lifestyle brand now.”

2. They Whisper Encouragement During Repotting
“You’ve got this, little buddy. We believe in your root system.”

3. They Cancel Plans Because “Fern is in Recovery”
Post-pruning is an emotional time.

4. Every Window in Their Apartment Is a Jungle Portal
“It’s not cluttered–it’s curated chlorophyll.”

5. They Host a Birthday Party for a Succulent
Complete with plant-based cake and a DJ named DJ Sprout.
