Durrell Eastland found his true calling when he decided to fill his home with plants, and he’s now helping other people do the same. The founder of the viral Instagram page The Black Plant Man is using his platform to put a funny twist on the ups and downs of being a plant parent.
Eastland has been sharing his plant-ventures on Instagram for years, and his home garden has been blooming and growing in numbers during this time. He filled his Delaware home with over 100 plants because he enjoyed the sense of serenity they brought into his life.
Despite their soothing quality, Eastland learned that plant parenting has its ups and downs, and he’s using his platform to share his tips and tricks with the world.
“Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or just starting to dip your toes into the soil, I’ve got your back. From hilarious videos to lively seminars and personalized coaching sessions, I’m here to make your journey into the botanical world both enlightening and entertaining,” he writes on his official website.
What separates Eastland from most other plant-fluencers is the specific sense of humor he brings to the table. The text on his videos comes in pixelated speech bubbles, giving them a retro feel and making them even more hilarious.
