There are people who love their families and people who love their pets. It seems as if there are also people who are crazy about plants!
In Loughborough, England, there is a 20-year-old man who has a collection of plants that is quite extensive. He works at a garden center and his plant collection has become so vast that his converted coach house is packed full and space had to be created so that people could walk through.
More than 400 plants call the one-bedroom apartment of Joe Bagley home. He has a popular Instagram account, @UKhouseplants, and he regularly posts about his love of greenery. According to Unilad, he sometimes gets up at 1:00 AM thinking that one of his orchids may be thirsty.
You can see how much work he puts into things when you visit his Instagram account.
You can look down through his Instagram to get advice on maintaining healthy plants in your home. He has plenty of different types of plants at his place.
One room is dominated by Monsteras and umbrella plants while another corner has palms and ZZ plants. His home, which he calls the Coach House, is full of greenery.
You can even see from this video that it looks like a jungle!
According to Unilad, Bagley says that his obsession with houseplants began when he got cuttings from a spider plant that came from his grandmother. He was 13 years old at the time. Even his grandmother thinks he has too many plants now! He even has to sneak plants into the house because he doesn’t want his grandmother to see him taking in more green roommates.
I love plants as well, but I’m not sure if I would stoop to sneaking them past my grandmother.
If you happen to be somebody that is lacking a green thumb, Begley will provide advice on how to care for your houseplants. He answers questions on social media and on his website, which has lots of information about caring for plants.
According to his post, he will answer any question, even if it is “lame.”
