Thanks to all the research coming in, most of us are now aware of the irrefutable bond between plants and millennials. After all, our Instagram feeds tend to become jungle-like, once we start indulging our plant obsession. Real estate experts, RubyHome, conducted some research of their own: they went on to establish the most common houseplants and succulents on Instagram, analyzing the number of hashtags for both the scientific name of each houseplant and the more commonly used names. The 10 most popular were revealed.*

"Houseplants are an incredible way to incorporate life and color into any living space, which is why they are an essential part of creating a calm and zen atmosphere in any home. It is fascinating to see such large numbers of hashtags for so many houseplants, showing how many social media users love watching their homes spring to life with their easy-to-maintain plants. It also proves just how popular the social media platform is for sharing insights into their interior design choices." — they commented on the findings.

So, the next time you find yourself mesmerized by the lush greenery, just carry on as you were — living with plants makes us happier, and here are the buzziest of them all.
