The newest thing we’re buying like crazy besides TP is HOUSEPLANTS. It’s not clear why. Maybe we need something to take care of right now, or we’ve realized our Zoom backgrounds are just really boring.
So will we actually keep all these plants alive, or will they wither and die?
A recent survey found that for almost half of us, the prospects aren’t great. 30% of people polled admitted they’re BAD at keeping plants alive. And another 13% weren’t sure. So that’s 43% who don’t seem too confident.
57% said they’re at least “somewhat” capable, including 1 in 5 people who think they’re “very good” at taking care of plants.
Men and women were equally likely to say they have a green thumb. But women were slightly more likely to say they’re terrible at keeping plants alive.
