Social media seems to be swamped with plant pictures right now – and for good reason. Plants are an easy way to make your home feel more at home. They’re perfect for levelling up your decor and making your place seem more put together. And duh, they’re great for your air quality or whatever. Here are my ideas for captions for plant photos that every plant parent needs. Puns for house plants and succulents are just what you need if you are looking for caption ideas for plants. If you are looking for plant mom quotes, I GOT YOU! Enjoy all these green thumb captions, my friends.
My algorithms know me so well, I get ads for plants. You could say I have kind of a green thumb. At least, that’s what the FBI agent in my phone thinks.
All the Best Captions for Plant Photos
If your apartment or home is anything like mine, you’ve managed to keep at least one plant alive in there for a while. More advanced adults will have even more – maybe three or four plants. A big deal, I know. If this is you, well, I have all the captions for plant photos that you will love.
Being able to care for plants isn’t something you’re born with. It’s a skill you have to learn over time. For ages I had a rock-hard black thumb – I even killed the invincible snake plants. Fake greenery was my only option.
Plant Captions for Instagram
I don’t know if it’s part of getting older and more responsible, or if it’s just a symptom of being home a lot more, or if it’s the heavily targeted ads and influencers with their lush fiddle-leaf figs, but I fell more in love with plants this year than ever before. I’m no expert, but I haven’t killed many so far. I have even kept my philodendron alive. Therefore, that’s at least ten months of consistent care. If this sounds relatable, then these green thumb captions may give you some inspiration for the ‘gram.
Are you a Proud Plant Mom, Too?
Be proud of me! I’m proud of you! And I want you to showcase your nurturing side, showing off each new bloom, highlighting each fresh leaf, in the best way I know: Instagram. Now, what you need are puns for house plants!
Whether you’ll be holding your baby banana plant in your lap, researching how to care for the hoya species, or giving your sedum the spotlight, make sure you’ve got a caption worthy of the work you put into your green goblin. Check out my ideas below for captions for plant photos for a bit of fresh-picked inspiration.

I love a good punny caption. I’ve been turning into quite the plant lady myself lately!
We have a plant killer cat at home so we’re taking one step at a time. For now, we’re trying to get her used to artificial ones, she even tried to eat them :)) Now we have a small succulent and hoping to get to a point where your tips will be useful 🙂
These are some great captions. I wish I could keep plants alive.
These are awesome. I’m going to send it to my friend who is a huge plant fan!
