Average Brit spends £300 a year on house plants - and Gen Z are biggest fans, study finds
But 18-24 year-olds – who succeded Millenials and are known as Generation Z – have an average of 10 different plants in their home.
And while the average person treats themselves to two new houseplants a month, the younger generation buys double that.
A typical monthly spend of £25.56 amounts to £306.72 a year, although 18-24 year olds spend an annual £414.84.
It also emerged 16 minutes a week – just under 14 hours a year – are spent tending toplants.
In order to take care of their shrubs, a fifth have talked to them, and one in 10 have sang a song.
The poll of 2,000 adults, commissioned by Miracle Gro, found other popular foliage to keep in a home include Swiss Cheese Plants, Venus Flytraps and Weeping Fig plants.
