Planterester

Planterester is a term that emerged on social media platforms, particularly Pinterest and Instagram, to describe a specific type of user. A planterester is an individual who actively uses these visual discovery engines to gather inspiration and ideas for home gardening and plant care. They meticulously curate boards or collections of images showcasing beautiful plant arrangements, DIY planter projects, helpful gardening tips, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces.

The behavior associated with planteresting often involves extensive browsing, saving, and organizing of plant-related content. Users may create separate boards for different plant types, seasons, or gardening styles, such as succulent arrangements, indoor jungle inspiration, or balcony vegetable gardens. This digital curation serves as a personal visual guide and planning tool for their own real-world gardening endeavors. While the term is informal, it highlights a growing trend of leveraging social media for practical hobbies and lifestyle aspirations. The focus is not just on acquiring plants but on the aesthetic and organizational aspects of plant ownership and cultivation.
