millennials—<br />
There has, in the last<br />
few years particularly,<br />
been a resurgence<br />
of people keeping<br />
houseplants. The<br />
numbers say that it is a<br />
growing trend among<br />
millennials. Why is it<br />
that America’s youngest<br />
adult generation is<br />
interested in keeping<br />
houseplants, when the<br />
last resurgence was in<br />
the 70s amid Watergate<br />
and the Vietnam War?<br />
Some believe keeping<br />
plants becomes popular<br />
again while we, as a<br />
culture, hunker down<br />
and need to feel<br />
comfort. Are millennials<br />
“hunkering down”<br />
from the increasingly<br />
stressful housing market<br />
predictions, bleak<br />
job outlooks, and the<br />
ever-growing student<br />
loan debt mountain?<br />
Perhaps. Others say that<br />
millennials are in it for<br />
the Instagrammable<br />
moment. But whatever<br />
it is, something certainly<br />
is driving America’s<br />
millennials to bring<br />
home plants.<br />
