Listen to Your Heart.

It’s normal for your heart to yearn for more than one plant and for you to find great satisfaction with many plants. The question is: how can you make this rewarding for everyone?

One plant is great, and you should not feel compelled to have more plants if you aren’t interested. Enjoy your plant and know that it is enough for you.

By completely controlling the circumstances around your one plant, you will have no one to blame but yourself if it develops any imperfections. Remember that if your one plant proves to be a loser, you can replace it easily.

Find Your Balance.

Working with many plants means making time for each one, which you can do on different days and in different ways. Sensitivity is key.

Focus on each specific plant, addressing it the way you would like. If it sticks around and acts happy, you’re doing something right. You’ll learn to dial in your practices over time by remembering its unique responses and kissing it gently.

What's Your Problem?

Think about it. If you were to parent only one plant, there would simply not be enough plants. If everyone did that, there would really just be one plant per person. Do you think that is enough?

What Happy Plant Owners are Saying

People have been gardening since before there was language. Bonobos garden in the wild - and they have no shame about it. Christianity and the patriarchal religions really started propagating the myth of the one-plant person, and the damage they've caused on the psyche of people who are naturally gardeners or farmers can't be overstated.

I used to think one plant was all I could look after, and I didn't want to come home one day to a wilted and browning Dracaena. But over time I learned that so long as I'm sensitive to my plants' needs, and treat them each as unique as they are, my house is greener than it's ever been.

I got my first Spider Plant in high school, and for a long time thought all I would ever want was a Spider Plant. They spark so much joy in me, with those thin little drooping leaves. Sometimes I would see a Cattleya Orchid or a Dahlia when I was out, but I still loved my Spider Plant, so I just passed them by. Plant Parenthood has helped me realize there's a lot of room in my greenhouse, and enjoying a Dahlia just deepens my appreciation of every other plant in my life.

It's All Up to You.

Many plants do better in groups, and you can save a lot of time on upkeep by providing quality nutrients, regular watering, and caring attention to several plants, learning from each one.

Historical humans always took care of multiple plants at once, using what they called “gardens” or “farms”, which are legendary.
