Plant Trivia to Grow Your Knowledge
If someone is curious about your nail art, here are interesting facts to wow them.
- Plants Communicate: Many plants release chemicals to warn neighboring vegetation of danger, like insect attacks. They "talk" through scent, which is why freshly cut grass smells so distinctive. It's a plant distress signal that calls insect-eating predators to come help.
- Plants Improve the Mood: Studies show that being around plants reduces stress and anxiety, boosts creativity, and improves mood. Plant nails might also be a mini mood-lifter!
- Plants Clean the Air: Some indoor plants, like spider plants and peace lilies, filter toxins from the air.
- Sunflowers Track the Sun: Young sunflowers have a behavior called heliotropism, where they turn their heads to follow the sun’s movement throughout the day.
- Plants Have “Sleep” Cycles: Some plants close their leaves or petals at night like they’re resting.
- Bamboo is a Grass: Though it looks like a tree, bamboo is technically grass. It grows incredibly fast. Some species increase to 35 inches in a single day.
- Some Plants Don’t Need Soil: Air plants, or Tillandsias, don’t need dirt to grow and survive by absorbing moisture from the air.
- The Oldest Known Plant Grew 400 Million Years Ago: The oldest plant fossil is Cooksonia, a primitive, leafless plant that reminds us how long plants have shaped our planet’s beauty.
- Bananas are Herbs: The banana plant is technically an herb, as its “trunk” is made up of tightly packed leaves instead of wood.
- Plants Can “Hear”: All sorts of plants respond to sound. They can follow vibrations to a source of running water or they grow better when exposed to certain frequencies. Try playing your favorite tunes or chatting to your plants to make them flourish!
Plant Nail Art with Decals
Here’s a mani with Monstera. That’s the type of houseplant here. The artist used decals to achieve the detailed look. Our store has nature nail stickers that can expand your creativity in seconds just like that.
Homegrown Plant Nails
Cactus, daisy, vines, and trees, what plants would you like to include on your nails? Perhaps rotating them by season, with snowy pines for winter and sunny palms for summer. Or reverse those ideas to buck the trend and give yourself a mental boost when it’s too hot or cold.
Goth Garden Nails
It’s hard not to love these bare tree branches with a sense of eerie forest under a crescent moon and stars. These nails feel magical as they blend botanic and mystical elements. The delicate details pop in the high contrast design. There’s even a difference in raised glossy and matte textures. You can easily see how natural elements can be transformed into something beautiful and mysterious.

Fall Nail Art with Leaves
Maple leaves and poinsettias aren’t the only plants that turn red. So do viburnum, chokeberry, barberry, and smooth sumac bushes. There’s even a type of hydrangea that resembles oak leaves that change color as the weather cools.
Encapsulated Plant Nails
The artist harvested real plants to encapsulate in acrylic and explained that it was not an easy task. If you’re intrigued by the terrarium look, make it easier on yourself. Just browse our dried flowers in the nail art section.

Floral Nails
Let’s finish with a peaceful depiction of meadow wildflowers against an ombre sky at dawn. It feels serene and welcoming, perfect for uplifting anyone’s mood. The artist created the gradient, stamped the stems, and hand-painted the blooms.
