How did your first plant impact you? 🌱

“My very first plant was a Euphorbia Trigona, given to me by a family member around 15 years ago 🌵 Although I no longer have that exact plant, its legacy lives on in the family, as we’ve kept its lineage going.

About 3.5 years ago, I was lucky enough to get a cutting from it again. This “grandchild” Euphorbia has grown so much since then and holds a lot of sentimental value for me. 🙏🏼

That cactus sparked my love for plants, but during Covid, when times were tough, plants became more than just a hobby 🌱 I dove deeper into collecting, and along the way, I discovered how much joy I got from sharing my plants on Instagram.

Connecting with others who shared the same passion brought me so much happiness. Now, I’m grateful to be part of an incredible plant community here on Instagram, and my home has grown into a thriving green space with over 100 plants 💚

If you love plants and want to start your own green journey, just begin with one plant that speaks to you. Soon enough, you may find that bringing a little bit of nature indoors brings a lot of joy and calm—just like it did for me 🌱”

What was the moment you realized plants were more than just a hobby? 🌟⁠
⁠
"Surprisingly enough, I wasn’t the one to start my plant journey. Back in 2020, at the height of quarantine, my husband said our apartment needed more greenery. As someone who goes all in or nothing, I took that as a challenge.⁠
⁠
Now, over four years later, I’ve gone from one or two plants to a whole jungle in our home.⁠
⁠
I’ve always been someone who struggles to keep a hobby for a long period of time—I get bored very easily, and if there’s no challenge involved, I usually walk away. The positive thing about plants is that there is always something! Whether it’s repotting, watering, dealing with pests, or even just propagating, it keeps my mind more stimulated than any other hobby ever has.⁠
⁠
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to own my own business—whether it was a coffee shop, a bookstore, or even a tea store, I wanted something of my own. As I was building my collection, so many people told me, “You should open up a plant store,” and that’s when I thought, “I know what I want to do with my life!” In September, I finally launched my own little business, “The Planted Bean,” where I sell fun and unique plants for all levels of plant parents.⁠
⁠
To think, only four years ago I bought my first plant, and now I’m running my own little business! Time flies when you’ve got over 100 plants to care for. ;)"⁠
