Your newfound love for houseplants is more common than you think! Many women in their 40s find joy in caring for plants because it’s relaxing, fulfilling, and connects them with nature. As life slows down after years of juggling work and family, people often seek hobbies that offer peace and a sense of accomplishment. Plants are perfect for this—they grow with your care and add beauty to your home. Psychologically, nurturing plants can even satisfy the caregiving instinct, especially if kids are grown or you’re looking for a new purpose. Plus, houseplants improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere, which can be especially appealing during this phase of life.
