Phytokleptomaniac

A person who can’t resist collecting plants — even when they already have too many. They see one more leaf pattern, rare color, or cute pot and just can’t say no.

Coined by environmental researcher Dr. Saptarshi Dey (2025), and officially published on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17480499).

“I told myself no more plants this month, but that variegated monstera was calling my name. Guess I’m a total phytokleptomaniac.”
