Your Plants Are Still Here A Love Letter to the Forgotten Pandemic Jungle

It's okay. You forgot to water them. You stopped talking to them. They're still here.

Back in 2020, we were all reaching for something that wouldn't disappear. We wanted something green, something breathing — something to remind us that life was still pulsing, even if the world had paused.

We filled our homes with rubber trees, snake plants, pothos, monsteras. We lined our shelves like altars. We whispered to them. Named them. Made our grief into terracotta.

And now, a few years later, many of those green companions have been pushed to the side. Dry roots. Wilted tips. You got busy. Life moved on. But they didn't leave you.

They're still waiting by the window.

Not out of duty — but because that's what plants do. They don't need us to be perfect plant parents. They just need us to return.

Water. Light. A moment of presence. Not to fix. But to reconnect.

This isn't guilt. This is grace. This is your reminder that healing isn't linear. That beauty can be revived. That your home is still a jungle, even if the leaves are dusty.

Want to reconnect with your plant family? Our Plant Revival Visit is an off-menu Wild & Tame service for just this moment. We'll come in. Assess the living. Compost the lost. Bring life back to the neglected. Because they were never just decor. They were witnesses.
