Do you name your plants?
Do you name your plants?
All my plants living inside got a name. Am I the only one doing this?
Its kind of fun to say stuff like "yeh i have to water Gerta" or "I am living with Gerta, Liselotte, Bums, Godwin, Waldemar and Dawn" :P
How did you name your plants? If you do.
Mine are all called Eric. It's much easier to remember.

Everything in or around our house that lives but is not human is called Eric. Lizards, spiders, everything. My wife is different. She's called Erica.

I don't but I do give my ugly/sick plants nicknames like "Dying plant" or "One leaf". The nickname usually sticks after the plant is healthy again. Dying plant is now a 2 meter high tomato plant full of blossom and Oneleaf has 3 leaves now.

I used to, now I have so many that's it's enough work to remember the species names.
2 0 ReplySometimes and sometimes not. Depends on how much shit they give me… the harder ones to take care of usually get a name
2 0 ReplyI have 12, each with its own name haha. It's usually just a play on their species name though, so it is easier to remember initially :)
2 0 ReplyI do! I’ve got Elphaba, Hawthorne, Sonic, and Phil among others lol
2 0 ReplySome do, some don't. My Lithops was named something ridiculous like Sir Buttington III.... no wonder it decided to die on me
1 0 ReplyHm Olaf, Olaph and Œlaph thought the same ... now only Olaf and Œlaph are with us anymore.
