Dr Brianna LeBusque, who led the house plant study published in the journal Plant Environment Interactions, said: 'It is well known that many people see their pets as being like their children, but house plants now seem to be like family members too. People have intense feelings for their pot plants, perhaps because looking after them provides a real sense of purpose and gratification.'
A 27-year-old woman said: 'Who needs kids when you have plants?' This illustrates the deep emotional connections individuals now form with their house plants, viewing them as fulfilling relationships similar to familial bonds.
