It’s been such a long time (six months, to be exact!) since I last saw people outside my computer screen and as an introvert, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually miss interacting with actual human beings in real life. Like most plantitos/plantitas, I’ve turned to gardening to feel some semblance of life around me during quarantine and it did help in reducing the stress from social isolation.

However, there are days when you just really feel like screaming “I miss seeing people”—and while these tips we’ve collected on maintaining friendships during quarantine may help, we’ve got another way to trick yourself into feeling a little bit less lonely while at home. It still involves gardening—so hurray for plantitos and plantitas once again. Meet “people” plant pots, which can help you pretend you’ve got your friends over at home.
