Do you name your plants?

All my plants living inside got a name. Am I the only one doing this?

Its kind of fun to say stuff like "yeh i have to water Gerta" or "I am living with Gerta, Liselotte, Bums, Godwin, Waldemar and Dawn" :P

How did you name your plants? If you do.

Have you checked your DNA lately? lol

Everything in or around our house that lives but is not human is called Eric. Lizards, spiders, everything. My wife is different. She's called Erica.

I have no indoor plants any more but way too many outdoor versions. I do have six cats and they all have different names :)

I don't but I do give my ugly/sick plants nicknames like "Dying plant" or "One leaf". The nickname usually sticks after the plant is healthy again. Dying plant is now a 2 meter high tomato plant full of blossom and Oneleaf has 3 leaves now.

Only a few... now I feel bad for all the unnamed

My big alocasia zebrina is Stampy, and my little amazonicas are Thing 1 and Thing 2

Jack is my hatiora salicornioides, and Sally is the tradescantia that lives next to him

My beautiful old mess of coppertone sedum is Grampus

The reaching tradescantia under my office window is Medusa

Gollum jade is named Coral

And my peperomia graveolens is Ruby

Some are not overly creative, lol

haha fair, but I do feel like I need to hear the story of how Bums got its name

2

Well thats kind of easy! There is a postcard saying "und so bekam er ganz profan den namen >>bums<<". And i saw it while searching for a name.

2

Sometimes and sometimes not. Depends on how much shit they give me… the harder ones to take care of usually get a name

2

I have 12, each with its own name haha. It's usually just a play on their species name though, so it is easier to remember initially :)

2

I used to, now I have so many that's it's enough work to remember the species names.

2

Some do, some don't. My Lithops was named something ridiculous like Sir Buttington III.... no wonder it decided to die on me

Hm Olaf, Olaph and Œlaph thought the same ... now only Olaf and Œlaph are with us anymore.
