Plant Mom:
Confessions of a Plant Mom: How I Became the Ultimate Plant Parent
Being a plant mom is not just a hobby; it's a lifestyle. Forget diapers and tantrums—I've got leaves to water and pots to repot. While some moms are out there stressing over school lunches and extracurricular activities, I’m over here debating whether my Monstera is too thirsty or too dry. (Spoiler alert: It’s always thirsty.)
But, hey, being a plant mom isn’t just about watering plants—it’s about love, commitment, and undying attention to detail (literally). So grab a cup of tea, and let me tell you the funny, quirky, and surprisingly emotional journey of becoming a true #PlantMom. And, if you’re looking for the perfect gift for mom, may I suggest a beautiful houseplant? Trust me.
It was a normal Tuesday morning. I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled upon a post featuring a lush, thriving Fiddle Leaf Fig in a sun-drenched living room. "That could be me," I thought, feeling an unusual surge of domestic ambition. And just like that, the seed was planted (pun intended).
By the end of the week, I had acquired my first plant: a lovely snake plant. I proudly placed it on my windowsill, patting myself on the back for choosing a plant that couldn’t die easily. After all, the internet had assured me that snake plants were basically immortal.
But as I stood back to admire my new green friend, I had one big question: "Now what?" Was I supposed to talk to it? Would it grow faster if I gave it compliments? Did it want a specific playlist to listen to while I watered it. Creating a humorous and SEO-optimized blog post about being a "plant mom" is a fantastic idea!

The Journey to Becoming a Plant Mom: How It All Started
It was a normal Tuesday morning. I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled upon a post featuring a lush, thriving Fiddle Leaf Fig in a sun-drenched living room. "That could be me," I thought, feeling an unusual surge of domestic ambition. And just like that, the seed was planted (pun intended).
In the days that followed, I found myself researching the best indoor plants, watching YouTube videos on how to propagate succulents, and googling “How to Keep Your Plants Alive (So They Don’t Die Like Your Last One).”

Plant Mom Responsibilities: More Than Just Watering (Who Knew?)
Being a plant mom is no joke. It’s not just about watering (though there’s a lot of watering). It’s about a constant cycle of checking, monitoring, and whispering sweet nothings to your plants. Every morning, I wake up and check on my leafy children like a concerned parent at a summer camp. Is the light good for them? Do they need more water today? Are they still alive? (Spoiler: They usually are, but sometimes I have my doubts.)
You start to notice the small things: the way your pothos seems to grow three inches overnight, the distinct smell of fresh soil when you move your plant to a new spot, and that ever-so-slightly panicked feeling when you notice a leaf turning yellow.
But the most important plant mom responsibility? Naming your plants. (It’s a rite of passage.)
I started with my Snake Plant, affectionately named "Gertrude." I’m not sure why I named her that, but she just seemed like a "Gertrude." As my collection grew, so did my naming conventions. My Monstera is "Monty," my Fiddle Leaf Fig is "Fiona," and my succulent collection is collectively referred to as “The Succulent Squad.”
