Grounded
Animals were first domesticated to function as servants. Then we started giving them names.
We have personified animals to the point where we attribute our desires to also be theirs. Today, proud Millennial “pet parents” can’t seem to spoil their fur babies enough. If I want a treat from Starbucks, my corgi gets one too. Still, many would-be pet owners can’t find the time, space, or stability to care for a four-legged dependent.
Enter houseplants. The last half decade or so has seen tremendous growth in demand for houseplants, particularly among Millennial and Gen Z consumers whose shopping habits greatly skew towards ecommerce. This is the same market that, for now, chooses pets over babies, again, when pets are a viable option. In addition, their purchases are often ethically motivated by environmental and social concerns, favoring products that support sustainability, wellness, and smaller businesses.
Let me tell you a little more about the people in this category, with whom I am well acquainted - after all, I’m one of them. Many of my friends are addicted to buying houseplants. They’re beginning to run out of room for more. They’ve already given all their plants names. Several beloved specimens have even been hauled cross-country by their highly mobile owners, strapped into the passenger seat while the back is filled with everything else.
Now that it’s been clearly established that a sizable consumer base is willing to spend $200 or more for a single plant sold online, how do you keep this market engaged? What’s the next step?
Chiefly, this consumer wants to make their modest apartment feel more habitable. In the alienating environments of modern urban dwelling, houseplants restore our longing for a connection with nature. They make a charmless box feel more like a proper home. So then shouldn’t their plants desire the same - a nurturing, proper home.
