plant parent
Houseplant caretaker, affectionately
A plant parent is someone who keeps houseplants and tends to them with the devotion typically associated with raising children or pets.
The term reflects how people form emotional attachments to their plants, checking on them, worrying about their health, and celebrating new growth: I'm such a plant parent—I talk to my ferns every morning.
