The Plant Zodiac: The Best Plant for Every Astrological Sign
Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned astrology buff, you likely know that your star sign can offer valuable insight into your many strengths, your disposition overall, and the things that are important to you.
And as a plant owner, insights like these are especially useful. We all want our plants to thrive, and choosing the right plant variety for our unique circumstances is the first (and most important!) step. So find your sign below and read up on our galaxy of guidance. You can feel confident in your choice, because we’ve curated the perfect plant zodiac for you!
Capricorn: The Braided Money Tree
Clear-eyed, straight-shooting Capricorn! You’re a grounded and pragmatic soul. You’re not afraid of responsibility, and you don’t leave things half-finished. This makes you a deeply responsible plant owner, and we’d trust you with any variety! But you also deserve a break from all your hard work, which is why, with its marriage of intricate beauty and easy-care simplicity, we think the Braided Money Tree is the plant for you.
Aquarius: The Zanzibar Gem
Aquarians, you’re like the ocean: sometimes calm, and sometimes crashing in tsunamis of creative energy, but never still. And while you love to get lost staring out the window, Aquarians also don’t like to be bored, so you’re often on the go. That’s why an easy-care plant that’ll do fine when you float off on an impromptu road trip is the perfect choice for you. And with their super-lush foliage, the Zanzibar Gem reflects your dewy disposition.
Pisces: The Calathea Medallion
Beloved Pisces, you’re a gentle and deeply creative soul that brings imagination and artfulness to all you do. You’re deeply attuned to all that’s around you, and any plant will be fortunate to call you friend. Pisces are often thought to be near-or-truly psychic, because of their intuitive connectedness to all living things. The Calathea Medallion, or Prayer Plant, is the perfect match for you: spiritual and beautiful, reacting with an otherworldly grace to the shifts in light from day to night.
Aries: The Red Congo
Aries, you’re coming in hot! With your courage and drive, you’re a force of nature, ruled by the sun, with fire as your guiding element. The Red Congo is a perfect match for you- vibrant and bold, Red Congos respond to the brightness of the light they receive with deeply pigmented, red variegation on their beautiful leaves.
Taurus: The Snake Plant
There is so much to love about the strong and earthy Taurus. And Taurus, you may be a stable and practical soul, but you also have a deep love of sensory experience- so it’s only natural that a stunningly variegated and sculptural plant would be the right choice for you. Enter the Snake Plant: grounded in the earth, but reaching toward the sky, the Snake Plant is strong (read: virtually indestructible) but innately graceful.
Gemini: The Golden Petra
Like you, Gemini, the Golden Petra is expressive, charming and has an enchanting natural charisma. Happy to bask in the haze of indirect light, the Petra can also handle the spotlight of direct light once in a while- she’s adaptable, like you. And just like Geminis, Golden Petras are naturally sociable, appreciative of the microbiome and humidity produced by being placed among a group of plants with similar care preferences.
Cancer: The Fiddle Leaf Fig
Cancer, you’ve been famed throughout the ages for your skill as a naturally supportive friend and an artistic spirit. Your emotional acuity can also mean that you experience a wide range of moods- not unlike the beautifully iconic diva, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Bush! With your sensitive nature, you have just the disposition to pamper your Fiddle through any rough spots and appreciate the overall beauty of this sometimes tricky, but always worth it, showstopper of a plant.
Leo: The Bird of Paradise
How dull our garden would be without a Leo (or a Bird of Paradise) in the mix! And you’re so easy to care for, too. All you need is lots of light (and love, and admiration) to flourish and thrive. Truly birds of a feather, Leos and Birds of Paradise light up their environment and don’t quit. Vivacious! Eye-catching! It always feels good to stand next to a Leo or a Bird of Paradise’s fire.
Virgo: The Pothos
The earthy Virgo has so many admirable qualities- you always take the high road, and your patience can seem infinite to your fire-sign friends! That’s why the Pothos is a natural match for you. Gentle and beautiful, the Pothos rewards patient plant owners with a cascade of jewel-tone leaves in its own time. (Often quickly-the Pothos is a swift grower!)
Libra: The Silver Evergreen
Peaceful Libra, your compassion nature and love of balance is a gift to all you meet- and it serves you well as a savvy home stylist, too! The Silver Evergreen is a seamless fit for you: with lushly full, variegated foliage and exceptional air-purifying effects, the Silver Evergreen promotes tranquility, luck (according to legend!) and lends a sophisticated grace to Libra homes.
Scorpio: The Ruby Ficus
Scorpio, you’re the best friend a plant could ask for. Loyal, honest and brave, you’re a natural leader, and you don’t follow trends- you set them. And we think that every Ruby Ficus must sprout under the Scorpio sign, because they are hands-down your astrological doppelganger! Pick a Ruby Ficus for its boldly hued foliage, and keep it for its easy-care watering needs. And like you, Scorpio, Ruby Ficuses also have a penchant for self-growth. (These can grow up to eight feet tall!)
Sagittarius: The Magenta Triostar
Sagittarius, you’re most well known for your deep sense of honesty and justice. But you’re also spontaneous, fun and dynamic, with an appreciation for life’s variety. The Magenta Triostar is a great fit for you: a true individual with a richly independent life. (As a member of the Prayer Plant family, the Magenta Triostar’s leaves close during the night, and open to salute the sun during the day. (A fitting friend for you, Sagittarius, as you’re a fire sign!)
