10 Green Thumb Instagrammers You Should Follow

Ranunculus reminiscent of winter sunsets. Sills crammed with lush ferns, trails of verdant pothos, and springy, spongy moss. Peaceful rock gardens and azaleas framed by towering hedges. I sow my Instagram feed with dozens of plant-focused accounts. Whether photos come from cramped apartments or sprawling nurseries, I love learning pruning tips, planting seasons, and potting basics. Creative arrangements and color combinations inspire my own bouquets and plant collections. Gardeners across the globe give me confidence to clone my succulents and cut back my money tree.

With more than 13 million #plants out there, diving into the Instagram forest can be a little intimidating. But no fear. Here are 10 green thumbs we’ve picked just for you. Give them a follow for a better, brighter Instagram.

Flourish Flower Farm posts glamorous shots of their specialty cut flowers and bouquets from Asheville, North Carolina.

The way that flowers bring people together constantly amazes me. I had the best morning hosting @juliahengel at the farm. Watching the magic that Julia, Thomas & Laura captured was blowing my mind - plus they are so incredibly sweet and fun to be around. Can't wait to see the farm through their lens!

#monsteramonday here's a clue about "bright indirect light" that photographers will understand: it's a cloudy day so everything here is lit by indirect light (camera settings: 1/400 f/8.0 ISO 800). Notice how dark the inside appears compared to outside. Any part of the plant that can "see the sky" is getting 10 times more light than if positioned a few feet from an obstructed window - just try to take a picture indoors using the same settings - it will be way under exposed. ~ ~ #monstera #monsteradeliciosa #outsidein #houseplants #plantlove #foliage #indoorplants #plantlife #chasinglight #plantlove #natureinspired #naturegram #urbanjunglebloggers #houseplantclub #plantstyling #houseplantjournal #växtgäris #greenliving #greenery #plantcare

I was trying to show off my tropical t-shirt and give this Monstera a size comparison (I'm 6ft / 183cm tall) but the t-shirt can't be seen very clearly next to this beauty. And those two new bright green leaves! #plantselfie #boyswithplants #notamodel #monstera #monsteramonday #monsteradeliciosa
