4. If I can still see my windows, I probably need more.

5. Too many is when you don’t have space anymore OR when it’s becoming a chore to take care of them. I’m happy with my 100 plants. So I would say 100! 😁

18. Let’s just say it’s my plants’ house and they’re simply letting me live there.

19. Every inch of space is fair game. Floor? Plants. Shelves? Plants. Shower? Also plants.

21. The day I ran out of space is the day I started hanging them from the ceiling.

22. There is no such thing as too many. I have 49 different plants in my house, mainly succulents and cacti.

23. Imagine a cozy cottage-core dream… that’s my place, but with even more plants.

24. Maybe 30? But there are a lot of succulents, so they’re constantly having babies.

29. Technically, my plants are my roommates at this point. And there are a lot of them. 

30. I have so many plants that my friends nicknamed me the “Plant Wizard”. So… 80, at the very least. 🌿✨

31. I buy plants first and figure out where they go later.

32. 50. Because people go, but plants don’t. 

33. There are 26 just in the kitchen and 32 in the rest of the house. I hadn’t realised either. 

34. I had over 100 plants—around 120-130—but cut back as I couldn’t keep up with them anymore. Some have sadly passed.

35. I have loads. Or at least it feels like loads. I’m running out of windowsills to put them on! It’s got to be about 30.

36. Oh, about…140. In a flat. Maybe more. Don’t ask me such questions, or I get easily excited! 

37. 117 inside and about 15 planters outside. I’ve given some away recently but then also bought some more.

38. Between my house and my crystal shop, I’ve got about 60 plants, and with impulse buys and propagating, I’ll probably hit 100 soon, lol.

A Moderate Number: Answers for reasonable plant collectors

1, and it was a gift. I like plants outside but indoors I think they look a bit messy.

3. You could say I’m moderately obsessed. Enough to love them, but not too much to stress over them.

22. My sister doesn’t share my plant love—she stopped me at 30. 😭

What’s the link between your commitment levels and your choice of plants?

You might think there’s no connection between that flower you bought yesterday and how you’ll care for it, but trust me, there’s more to it. 

Bought a cactus? Yeah, you’re probably not the type to give 100% commitment. But what about other plants? Let’s see! 🌿

  • Orchids or Bonsai: Commitment level → High!

If you’re all about these plants, you’re the type to invest most of your energy not just in your plants but in relationships, too. You’re dedicated, patient, and a perfectionist. 🌸🌳

  • Snake Plant or Pothos: Commitment level → Medium! 

You prefer plants that are easy to take care of, but not too easy. You’re definitely balanced, adaptable, and pretty responsible; when it comes to plants, you don’t like them to rule your life! 🌿

  • Succulents, Tillandsia: Commitment level → Low!

These plants don’t require a lot of care, making them perfect for people who don’t like routine. Your commitment levels may be low (talking about plants, of course!), and you might clash with the plant fanatics on Bumble.
