Having More Plants at Home During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Is It Just Following A Trend?
Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically changed the social and
environmental conditions. People should stay at home for self-isolation and
social distancing to avoid the spread of Covid-19. People tend to have more
plants at home associated with psychological impact during self-isolation.
This study aimed to describe having more plants during the Covid-19
pandemic in Indonesia. A nationwide cross-sectional survey involving an
online survey was carried out of an Indonesian population-based sample of
412 respondents from 26 provinces, considered demographic, social, and
behavioral variables. The variable affecting the having plants during the
Covid-19 pandemic was analyzed using non-parametric analysis of the
Kruskal Wallis test. The result showed that people preferred having more
plants during the Covid-19 pandemic to reduce negative emotions and
feelings. The majority of the respondents tend to have 1-10 plants and spend
around <100 K (IDR) monthly to maintain and buy plants. They think that
efforts to maintain were the most challenging in gardening activities. The
majority of the respondents had potted plants at home to make their homes
greener. The Kruskal Wallis test showed the p-value (>0.05) for all
characteristic respondents. Thus, it can be concluded that there was no
significant difference regarding the motivation to have planted during the
Covid-19 pandemic from characteristic respondents
