From cactus lovers to fiddle-leaf fig enthusiasts, the funny “plant parents” of Twitter have shared relatable musings about bonding with their potted pets, watching them grow, struggling to keep them alive and more.

Below, we’ve rounded up 30 funny tweets about taking care of plants.

People who talk to your plants:

What do you say? Is it mainly just compliments and encouragement? Do you gossip to them? Recap Brooklyn Nine-Nine? I want to explore this practice but I already feel like I'm giving my plants the same canned lines.
