"It's really therapeutic to care about the needs of a plant … it's like having pets," Ms Robertshaw said.

Rare varieties fetch upwards of $300 Ms Robertshaw said indoor plants had become readily available at hardware stores, nurseries and even online and that an increasing variety of plants were now available in Australia. "There's a lot of more unusual plants arriving in Australia, variegated plants that are becoming more popular and people are buying humidifiers so they can keep them alive and flourishing," Ms Robertshaw said.
