All I see is another dust catcher. I must be the only one that doesn't think these cutesy plants are wonderful. I hope someone makes it to show us it can be done, but it won't be me.
I tend to agree with you, yet …
There are dozens of plant/flower patterns on Ravelry

As well as oodles of kits on that site you hate.

Could it be that there are folks who fail at maintaining live plants, but enjoy making/displaying/selling artificial ones?

You are definitely not the only one.

I think they would buy the commercially made beautiful artificial ones out there some are very very good but not the knitted ones,.

There are lots of patterns on Ravelry that make me wonder why anyone would ever make them. I would not make a lot of the things that are sold as kits either. That doesn't change the fact that I think that most of them are dust catchers.
 
I always kill plants indoors, :cautious: , usually overwatering, perhaps I could try this. Our gardener, who is qualified, might well be impressed...............who knows. Will look on Ravelry, thanks JJ, for knitting patterns.
 
Saw this today at our grocery store flower section, thought it was so cute. No doubt, some of you crafty people could make it... View attachment 1408808
Damn, there's a lot of... dislike... for the little crocheted plant!
Like okay, you wouldn't want it getting dusty, but do we have to act like it's poison?
It's acrylic- throw it in the washer when it's dusty 🤷🏼‍♀️ That's far easier than a real plant 😅
 
Laurpud, laughed out loud when I read your comment, thank you. Might not throw in the machine, but a quick soak in a bowl of water would probably work. Lego flower kits are very popular (mainly adults), and my first thought was how fun it would be to mix and match knit/crochet plants with the Lego sets. I can’t imagine it would collect much more dust than a gnome.
I try and keep my dust collectors at a minimum, but most are behind glass, so I don’t always notice how dusty they’ve become.

and a lot of dislike for someone who posted their own opinion.
