Hojo's gardening talents include a special quirk: the succulents and cacti in her garden act and behave like animals. Cantus does not fully control these plants, which often act of their own volitions. The special connection between Hojo and her plants is rumored to derive directly from Greg, the Worm God.

Hojo's plants have been known to listen to Blaseball broadcasts intently. A desire to please her plants further pushed Hojo to join a Blaseball team, herself.
