This paper draws from my research with Turkish and Kurdish migrants on their relationships with the plants they grow in Germany. Relationships with plants have two affordances in this context: The intimate care relationships with plants facilitate the emplacement of both the plants and the humans. Secondly, plants lend people the metaphors to reflect on their migrant conditions. Therefore, under the circumstances of climactic and societal difference, xenophobia and precarity, plants and people grow closer and survive together, while the human participants of these relationships draw reciprocal parallels between themselves and their plant companions. These parallels—anthropomorphisms and phytomorphisms—unfold as modalities of intimacy within the lives of my interlocutors.
