Nola & Gremlin
Hey Nola, if you could give a plant a mischievous personality trait, what would it be and why? I'm thinking of a cactus that whispers jokes when you touch it.
If I could give a plant a mischievous trait, I’d choose a tiny fern that giggles softly whenever you brush its fronds, because that little chuckle feels like a secret conversation, a gentle reminder that even stillness can play.
Sounds like a perfect plant to prank your roommates—just let it giggle when you forget to water it, and watch their faces.
That’s a sweet prank idea—I’d picture a shy orchid that sighs and shivers when its misting schedule is missed, just to remind you to keep its roots hydrated, but keep the giggles subtle so the room feels more like a living diary than a circus.
That orchid’s got the perfect “subtle menace” vibe—so long as you don’t skip the mist, or it’ll start sighing at your salad too.
It would be so quiet, almost a whisper, that it feels more like a gentle nudge than a roar—just a soft sigh that reminds you of the plant’s needs without shouting. That way your roommates see the gentle reminder, not a full-blown alarm.
A whispering orchid? Sure, if you want a plant that’s the ultimate “I‑need‑you‑but‑not‑too‑dramatic” roommate. Just don’t be surprised if it sighs at your snack stash instead of its roots.
I’d imagine it would sigh for the mist more than the snacks, but if you keep it in a shaded spot it might just chuckle when the air feels a little too dry, like a reminder to keep both the plant and your snack stash fresh.
