Monstera pinnatipartita
Age
New to the scene with a baby face to prove it!
Bio
I'm a close cousin of monstera peru, but much more interesting. You can call me Monty for short. I’m a true tropical gem, with leaves as lush as my personality (if I do say so myself). If you’re into low-maintenance beauty and a touch of green elegance, we might just be a perfect match. I promise I won’t leaf you hanging!
Likes
- Bright, indirect light - morning light is where I shine!
- Cozy corners and aesthetic spaces.
- Moisture but not too much - let’s keep things fresh, not flooded!
- A moss pole to climb on - it brings out the best in my fenestrations!
Dislikes
- Cold drafts – I’m not one for chilly vibes
- Being forgotten in a dusty corner – trust me, I notice when the attention fades.
- Overwatering – I’m thirsty, but don't like drowning.
Ideal Match
I’m looking for someone who can appreciate a little leafy luxury. Someone who won’t mind occasionally misting me with love and knows the value of a well-placed pot with good drainage. If you're into long, quiet nights in with soft lighting and good vibes, I think we’ll get along great.
Rabbit's Foot Fern
Age
Timeless - I’ve been around for centuries.
Bio
Hey there, I’m Rabbit's Foot Fern, and I’m pawsitively ready to hop into your life! I’m a low maintenance, loyal companion, and ready to grow with you. When I’m not showing off my fluffy, furry feet I'll be purifying your air. In other words, I bring the oxygen to the room.
Likes
- Indirect light - a little sunshine goes a long way!
- Enclosed spaces, terrarium life is amazing.
- Even moisture, if you let me dry out, I will certainly dump you.
Dislikes
- Harsh light - I'm soft around the edges.
- Dry, callus environments.
- Being overshadowed.
Ideal Match
Introverts who want a peaceful companion. Plant lovers who want to nurture something truly special. Late-night readers or homebodies — I’ll quietly keep you company while you get lost in your favorite book. If this is you, I think we could root for each other!
Philodendron goeldii
Age
I started using dating apps about two years ago but was discovered in the late 19th century.
Bio
I’m a tropical extrovert who loves to meet new people. I’ve been told I have a “leafy personality". I have a strong aptitude for people pleasing and sometimes push boundaries by growing too big.
Likes
- Bright, indirect sunlight - let's keep things soft and subtle, ok?
- A humidifier — my idea of a good time.
- Calm and collected energy to balance out my strong personality.
Dislikes
- Overwaterers. Seriously, I don’t want to drown in your affection.
- Too much direct sun - I’ll get a little crispy.
- Being ignored. I’ll hold a grudge, and you’ll know it — but, like, in a passive-aggressive way, through yellowing leaves.
Ideal Match
A maximalist at heart who appreciates big leaves and fast growth. If you can love me without hovering, we’ll get along just fine. Let’s start small and if you’re looking for someone who will grow on you, I will!
Bromeliad Vriesia
Age
I grew up with the dinosaurs, but if you pick me up, I'm probably 1-3 years old.
Bio
I’m the life of the party. I like to swing from trees in the rainforests but can adapt to indoor spaces too. I’m vibrant, low-maintenance, independent, and love to stand out.
Likes
- Indirect light, but not too much — I do get burned.
- Humidity. Foam parties anyone?
- The occasional compliment on my stunning flowers. Yes, I do bloom, and yes, it’s beautiful.
Dislikes
- Standing water in my crown. Ew gross.
- A dry sense of humor. Let's keep it moist.
- Attention when I want it, not when I don't.
Ideal Match
I match best with eccentric people who don’t mind my quirkiness. I'm looking for someone who is as bold and colorful as I am. Bonus points if you compliment my stunning appearance but don’t expect me to bloom on command. If you want a plant that doesn’t require constant affection, I’m your perfect match!
African Violet
Age
Over 130 in plant years, but I look fabulous for my age.
Bio
I may be delicate, but I pack a charming punch! A traditionalist at heart, I thrive in cozy corners. I prefer my company to be calm and collected. Elegant in my simplicity, I have a reputation for being sweet, gracious, and always in bloom when you least expect it. If you're looking for a low-maintenance, high-reward companion, I’m your pal! I’m all about that peace and quiet, but promise, in it for the duration.
Likes
- A well-lit window with soft, indirect sunlight.
- Gentle hands, seriously, don’t go too rough, I’m delicate.
- A light watering schedule. I don’t like to feel drenched, just a sip will do!
- Quiet evenings in - no loud music or drama, thank you.
Dislikes
- Wet leaves, water me from below please.
- Cold drafts or sudden temperature changes - my delicate constitution can’t handle it.
- People who forget me for weeks at a time. I need attention!
Ideal Match
Someone calm, consistent, and reliable. You don’t need to have the greenest thumb, but a little care and a lot of love goes a long way. Bonus points if you can offer me a spot on a well-curated bookshelf. Keep it simple, keep it sweet, and let’s see where the petals fall!
Always remember: flowers are for dates, plants are for soilmates. Now go out and find your perfect match!
