Millennials heart houseplants. Of all the things they’ve reportedly killed, they’re doing their best to keep their “house jungles,” and “jungalos” alive as they give plants a revival. Some theorize being a plant parent makes them “feel like grown-ups” and gives them “something to look after,” and the trend could be getting a boost from their “natural” obsession. But most agree on another factor at play: plants are uber-Instagrammable. Just check out the hashtags #urbanjungle, #monsteramonday, and #plantgang or the highly-followed account, @BoyswithPlants.
