Show me your flower pot and I'll tell you who you are

Translation: machine translated
For some it is a simple plant pot, for others a decorative piece that reflects their character. Find out which type of flower pot you belong to.
Flower pots come in all shapes and colours. This makes it all the more difficult to keep track of the growing range. Which flower pot best suits your home and your character? You should be able to recognise yourself in the seven types below.
1. the collector of found objects
You are rumoured to live in a thrift store. That's incomprehensible to you. You live in your own gallery and love to add new, unique pieces to it. Cat motifs and angels in various sizes dominate your home, but you also turn a blind eye to a cute llama candlestick. You're slowly running out of room for your knick-knacks in the vertical space too. Nevertheless, you only get rid of things that no longer have any emotional value for you.
Your standard sentence: "Of course I'm not throwing away the wooden giraffe! I bought it on a safari in 1973."
2. the Disney fanatic
Your holiday days are spent visiting Disneyland. You've already been to all the theme parks and had a blast with your favourite characters. You cross out the date for your annual Disney film marathon right after New Year's Eve. And your home furnishings and clothes are also adorned with every imaginable cartoon character because you just can't help yourself. They look so cute.
Your standard sentence: "I would even say that Disney films were mainly made for adults. Look back there. Snow White! I have to take a photo with her!"
3. the long-term pubescent
When you saw this article about pots, it didn't take a second for you to form two bowls with your hands in front of your ribcage and give your dinner neighbour a side swipe. It's an automated reflex. Every round or tubular shape evokes an association in you. By now, your friends have given up telling you that you're out of age. And you're probably not even reading this far because your eyes have already moved on to the next excerpt section.
Your standard phrase: "Look, that pot up there. I'm just saying non-mermaid. Höhöhö!"
4. the body aesthete
In the last silent retreat, you realised that you don't belong in this spooky world where clothes serve as an earthly prison for the body. That's why you put on the Adam costume at every opportunity. You are proud to disregard social ideals of beauty. You are passionate about painting nudes, but you also enjoy modelling. You only have a pitiful smile for those who are there for the first time and feel uncomfortable.
Your standard sentence: "What do you mean: 'You've never been on a nude hike'?"
5. the boho babe
Your standard line: "You know me. Last year I went glamping in Bali again. All alone, with an ocean view, all-inclusive tequila and hot staff - if you know what I mean."
6. the interior designer
You are the artist and your home is your canvas. While others complain about their social media addiction, you ignore the fact that your screen time is at least six hours a day because of Pinterest. You're constantly on the lookout for decorating inspiration for your home. That iridescent pencil on the kitchen table isn't there by accident. No, you staged it. You love unusual "pieces" - provided they fit perfectly into your current design concept.
Your standard sentence: "You're still with maximalism? That's so 2000 late."
7. the practical one
It's clear to you - there is no purchase without benefits. You're glad that the walls in your flat are made of exposed concrete, so you always have a good excuse for not hanging up pictures: you're not allowed to because of the administration. Plants also belong in the category of clutter. They just mean extra work, which you certainly don't need. But your new girlfriend has now given you a monstera for your birthday. Shit. Now what?
Your standard sentence: "Decoration means dust catcher in Latin."

Painting the walls just before handing over the flat? Making your own kimchi? Soldering a broken raclette oven? There's nothing you can't do yourself. Well, perhaps sometimes, but I'll definitely give it a try.
