Millennials are buying a third of all house plants. This is driving the emergence of more direct-to-consumer plant stores.

I never bought plants to act like a grown up . I grew up with plants and how to care for them. I bought three for myself because I live/work/study in a city and love the appeal, the fresh oxygen and that something grows in my home. I don't know why they think that is a way to "adult later". One last thing to the reporter: Please don't take and shake the plants.

I’m not a millennial (I’m 41) but I’m obsessed with plants. My fondest, happiest childhood memories are playing in the the garden by myself surrounded by plants in the Philippines. Now, I live in Indiana where winter can be so cold and depressing that having plants around reminds me of home. It’s like having your own mini urban jungle
