FabSwingers.com forum: What should I call my plant?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

There’s not many thread titles that say everything that’s needed, but that’s it.

I’ve been given my first plant for my house, and as it’s the only thing I will be talking to to keep me from going insane, I’d like to call it something.

Does anyone else name there’s?

Any plant that moves into my house I tend to call 'I'm so sorry'.

But I currently have a little suckuless? I call 'good for you', that's kinda hanging on in the bathroom.. Presumably because it lives near a tap, so I remember to drown it sporadically
