Are you a skilled botanist or weed killer? A new quiz could help you to find out which plants match your personality, giving you results that could help choose your next leafy roommate.
The series of questions were created to help those who struggle to keep a plant alive but hope to acquire a green thumb in the future.
Developers worked with gardening guru, Kate Turner, to reveal the perfect plant pairing based on their unique qualities—taking into consideration personality traits such as whether they’re caring, busy, outgoing, or love a challenge.
The quiz comes after a survey of 2,000 adults found more than a fifth (22 percent) find it difficult to keep plants alive, despite 60 percent feeling more relaxed when they’re surrounded by them.
As a result, 77 percent would like to have more knowledge on what plants suit their persona and lifestyle the best.
The research, commissioned by Miracle-Gro, found that around half of respondents feel productive when in the presence of plants, and report a positive impact on their mental health.
But when it comes to buying a new plant, most people base their choice on how easy they are to care for (56%), how colorful they are (47%) and how big they get (39%).
“It’s clear that we love plants, both indoors and out, but we often struggle with keeping them alive,” said Turner.

It’s easy to assume all plants need the same care, but they can differ greatly, which often leads to mistakes and sad looking leaves. More than half of adults admitted to killing an average of five houseplants. Overwatering was the most common cause, while 41 percent believe they didn’t water them enough.
The fun, informative quiz was created for these people to easily match their lifestyle with suitable plants.
“There’s something for everyone whether they’re a night owl, a home worker, or a parent.”
The poll also revealed that most people are familiar with the benefits of plants, including improving the air quality, but half of those surveyed via OnePoll would like to learn more about looking after different plants.
Two-thirds of those polled currently own an average of six houseplants each, but 47 percent would like to own more greenery.
