While there isn't any specific reason why naming your plants is pertinent to caring for them, but it's fun! It makes it more interesting. You might get a two for one deal with plants, like this cactus, and you can give them cute twin names!

Potting plants is so much fun. There are a ton of places you can get good pots, and often the best pots aren't technically meant to be pots.

Because most plants can be propagated, it's easy to end up with a ton of them! They make excellent gifts!
