10 Signs You Might Be a Crazy Plant Lady

If you’ve ever whispered encouragement to a wilting ivy or rearranged your living room to give your fiddle-leaf fig “better vibes,” we’ve got news for you… you might just be a Crazy Plant Lady. Don’t worry—it’s not an insult. Around here, it’s a badge of honor.

Being plant-obsessed means you’ve discovered the magic of turning dirt, water, and sunlight into something beautiful. It means you care deeply (sometimes too deeply) about your leafy little friends. And most of all—it means you’re part of a club that celebrates laughter, green thumbs, and the occasional plant-related impulse buy.

So, let’s find out—how many of these signs sound a little too familiar?

1. You Have a Soft Spot for Rescue Plants.

That sad little succulent on the clearance shelf? You didn’t just buy it—you adopted it. That wilted fern from a neighbor’s giveaway? It found a forever home with you. You can’t resist a plant in need, and somehow, they always end up thriving under your care. 

2. You give your plants names (and sometimes backstories).

Your english ivy isn’t just “a plant.” She’s Doris, a resilient queen who survived that one time you forgot to water her for two weeks.

3. Some Plants Have More Sentimental Value Than People.

That tiny pothos you brought home from your first apartment (that’s not-so-tiny anymore)? The Mexican Lime you got as a wedding gift? The peace lily from your grandpa’s funeral. Some plants carry stories, memories, and a little piece of your heart. You don’t just grow them—you remember with them.

4. Your friends ask you for plant advice before Googling.

You’ve officially become that friend. The one people text with blurry photos captioned, “Is this normal??”

5. You’ve rearranged your home to maximize sunlight.

Your sofa doesn’t face the TV—it faces the window. Because your fiddle-leaf fig deserves prime real estate.

6. Watering day is basically a social event.

Forget happy hour. You’ve got a date with your house plants, your porch plants, and your vegetable garden.

7. Most of the Photos on Your Vacation Camera Roll Are Plants

You went to France for the pastries, England for the quaint streets, and Ireland for the rolling green hills… but let’s be honest—half your camera roll is filled with charming window boxes, ivy-covered cottages, and perfectly manicured gardens. 

8. You’ve mourned a plant like a fallen comrade.

A moment of silence, please, for the orchid you swore you’d keep alive.

9. You secretly judge people who say, “I can’t keep anything alive.”

You smile politely, but inside you’re thinking: It’s not that hard, Susan.

10. You think “green thumb” is the best compliment ever.

Forget fashion sense or cooking skills. If someone tells you you’ve got a green thumb, your week is made.
