11 Instagram Hashtags to Up Your Plant Game

One of the best ways to stay engaged within the plant community is follow different trends and subject matter that the community is excited about.

Instagram hashtags make it easy to segment the community and look at each part with in more detail. Because instagram shows how many times a hashtag has been tagged, you can see the scale of each subject matter. That’s why no matter what you like, there’s bound to be someone just as excited as you are! (no shame in liking #catswithplants).

We’ve rounded up 11 different hashtags that you can get started with within the plant community on IG.

#Planttimelapse

This is by far my personal favorite plant hashtag.

We all know that plants are living, breathing beings. But we sometimes can’t see the process of transformation because we only notice its growth over weeks/days at a time.

By taking timelapses of their plants, creators can capture the “liveliness” of the plant during an extended period of time and show that in a 20-second video. Plants grow tall when watered and droop down when it’s thirsty and the motion of it going back and forth shows that plants, like humans, are cyclical and go through ups and downs throughout its life.

Watching a smooth growing transition for each plant gives you a sense of fulfillment - that all the plant care you do and watering schedules you try not forgetting is worth it.
