11 Things You'll Want To Buy Immediately From Amazon's New Plant Store

When millennials take a liking to something, the internet is abuzz with analyses, think-pieces, and investigative features seeking to answer why this? The generation's buying habits are inarguably influential. In fact, in spite of a perceived addiction to new technology, the population all but singlehandedly revitalized the vinyl record industry, according to Fortune. With another, comparatively archaic product growing (heh) more and more popular among twentysomethings, there may be something to be said for popularity based in being worthy of the ~gram~. With that said, keep your eyes peeled on your Instagram feed for these 11 most Instagrammable plants from Amazon's new store, which officially launched this week.

Plants have long been a popular home decor choice, but if it seems like more and more have been popping up in your friends' homes (and photos,) you are probably on to something. There are multiple explanations for the growing popularity of plants, but one major influence is (surprise!) social media. Instagram accounts like Urban Jungle Blog and The Jungalow boast 500,000, and almost one million followers, respectively, with their flora-focused accounts. The plant obsession recently inspired a Washington Post article that made the rounds, titled, "Millennials are filling their homes — and the voids in their hearts — with houseplants." It's safe to say that if you've succumbed to the succulents, you are far from alone — and the recent reveal of Amazon's plant department is sure to only add to the amount of green on your 'gram.
