Joe Bagley, a 20-year-old “jungle boy”, has turned his one-bedroom apartment in Lough borough, UK, into an indoor jungle with over 1,400 potted plants.
You can find all sorts of plants growing in Joe Bagley’s home. They are everywhere, on the dining table, on bookshelves, even in the bathroom, pretty much wherever there is any spare space that hasn’t been occupied by something else. There isn’t that much space available —1,400 potted plants into it have made it look like a sort of indoor urban jungle.
“Every room is packed,” the houseplant enthusiast said. “I’m always thinking of new places to put more. I have some plants in here and I don’t know where they came from. I can’t remember buying them. It’s like I have an addiction.”
Joe’s love for houseplants started when he was 13, after his grandmother, who lives right across the street, gifted him a cutting of her spider plant. As the South African plant grew and blossomed (开花), so did his love for houseplants.
These days he works in a garden center, spends his free time either caring for his plants or reading articles and studies about them, and claims (声称) to have developed a kind of “sixth sense” when it comes to taking care of them. “I have a sixth sense for knowing when something needs watering. I can just be walking past a plant and I know,” he said.
Through the last seven years, Joe Bagley has accumulated a wealth of plant knowledge, and he recently created his own website, where he publishes all sorts of helpful information for fellow plant enthusiasts and he also answers their questions about plant care. His dream is to one day open his own plant-filled “jungle café”, which he describes as his ideal business.
