The article recounts the author's personal journey into becoming a 'plant person' after buying a houseplant on the day of moving into their New York City apartment. Initially struggling with plant care, the author quickly developed a passion for plants which transformed their living spaces and provided emotional support through life's ups and downs. Over the years, nurturing plants has become a significant part of the author’s identity, offering deeper lessons about life and self-discovery beyond simple enjoyment.
Plants became a constant in my apartments over the years, bringing life to drab, windowless corners and counteracting the concrete outside.
While it's easy to assume surface-level enjoyment from fostering plants, the truth is that my status as a 'plant person' has taught me more about life - and myself - than I ever thought possible.
