TikTok Now Leads as Top Platform for Plant Care Advice. Users worldwide increasingly turn to TikTok for plant care tips, surpassing traditional sources like gardening books or expert blogs.

Younger generations drive this trend. Over 70% of users under 35 report learning plant care primarily through TikTok. Short videos demonstrate tasks like repotting orchids or fixing yellow leaves, offering quick solutions. Content ranges from rare plant care to budget-friendly hacks, appealing to both beginners and experts.
Gardening experts have joined the platform to share knowledge. Professionals like Marcus Bridgewater (@GoodGrowing) post daily tutorials, amassing millions of followers. Nurseries and botanical gardens also use TikTok to answer user questions, blending education with entertainment.
Traditional plant care sources struggle to match TikTok’s reach. Libraries and extension services note fewer visitors seeking horticulture advice. TikTok’s algorithm personalizes content, showing plant tips based on user interests. This keeps viewers engaged longer than static articles or manuals.
Critics highlight risks, like misleading advice. Some users report plant damage after following incorrect hacks. TikTok now partners with botanists to flag inaccurate content. Pages with verified advice display “expert-reviewed†badges to aid users.
The platform’s shift toward practical learning spans other topics, but plant care stands out. Its visual format suits demonstrations, from diagnosing pests to propagating succulents. Users also join live streams to troubleshoot issues in real time.
Houseplant sales have risen as TikTok fuels interest. Sellers attribute spikes in fiddle-leaf fig or monstera purchases to viral videos. “TikTok makes plant care feel achievable,†says urban gardener Lila Torres. “People see others doing it well and think, ‘I can too.’â€
