Ever feel like you were meant to
grow somewhere else?
Not bigger. Not better. Just… somewhere different.
This quiz helps you figure out what kind of environment actually works for you, based on how you operate, what you need, and what drains the hell out of you.
Takes a few minutes. No overthinking required.
If you’ve ever said “something just feels off” —
this is for you.
You’ve lived in places that should’ve worked but didn’t.
You’re stuck between wanting routine and wanting something new.
You keep asking yourself, “Would I feel different somewhere else?”
Some environments give you energy, others just drain you, fast.
You’re not imagining it. You’re just picking up on something real.
What is the
Potted Plant Theory™?
The Potted Plant Theory™ is a grounded framework for understanding why certain environments feel energizing while others quietly wear us down. Using a spectrum of botanical archetypes — from sequoias to air plants — the quiz explores how you relate to stability, novelty, space, and support. It’s not about self-improvement. It’s about noticing the patterns behind how you naturally move through the world and where you tend to thrive.
