How is this different from a tenant taking their patio furniture with the? “It’s worth more with the patio furniture”. “The new tenants are expecting the nice patio furniture to be there!”
Plants cost money and effort and, in many cases, can be successfully transplanted to a new location. It seems to me that the tenant simply took their property with them when they left.
There’s a fundamental difference between furniture and an improvement to the underlying property itself. For example, if you repaint a fence, you can’t take the paint with you, and the value of the paint itself was far lower than the labor cost to apply it to the fence.
Surely there’s a breakpoint with plants though, right? You could transport a few plants, but probably not a whole garden, or a flower bed, or a tree old enough to have deep roots, etc

And where does a plant fall in this? You can certainly take plants with you, unlike the paint from a fence.
