Written in the stars. Choose the ideal plant according to your zodiac sign

Some people believe wholeheartedly that their zodiac sign encompasses all the characteristics that describe their personality, while others feel it's all bullshit. No matter what your case may be, the zodiac signs are an excellent excuse to explore your inner self, to know what makes you different and what characterises who you really are, it is an invitation to know your own essence.

From this perspective, we could affirm that it is possible to find the plant that fits that set of aspects of your personality, which are summarised in your zodiac sign. So if you want to become the proud owner of a nice plant but don't know which one to choose, let's give the stars a chance, they will choose the ideal plant according to your zodiac sign. Don't forget to let us know if you like the selection we have made.

Aries (March 21st to April 19th)

Aries natives are risk-takers, impulsive. Honest, upfront and direct, they are not afraid to go after what they want and say what they think. They are friendly and follow their own rules. Some define them as the newborns of the zodiac, for they will always be absorbed in their ideals, their needs, but it is not selfishness: they are as charming as they are generous.

For this impulsive and energetic sign, the perfect plant is one that is able to support their pace and is also eye-catching enough to match their personality. This is why we recommend a succulent or cactus, even better if they have a flower. Both are very easy to care for, so they won't suffer if Aries forgets to water them.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

This earth sign embodies the quality of the fixed, the stable and placid. It is wonderful, because Taurus is like an immovable mountain, which the worst circumstances can neither sink nor move. Strong, silent, stubborn and hard-working, their solidity is legendary; but don't bother them too much, because although they are not impulsive, they can destroy you in seconds.

For this sign, adaptability is essential: the most suitable plant is the pothos, an evergreen with great adaptability and good resistance. Moreover, it grows so easily and quickly that it will delight Taureans, who need contact with nature to recharge their energies.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

The natives of this sign are characterised by their versatility. They are able to adapt to any situation, as they are quick, flexible-minded and alert. They are wonderful at communicating and are capable of excelling in several fields at the same time, although it is precisely because of this quality that they can be distracted. They are very curious, love to learn and are very creative.

Because of this detachment from routine, schedules and versatility, the most recommendable plants for Geminis are those that cannot kill. The snake plant could be ideal, because it doesn't matter if you forget to water it one day or all week; this plant will go on for many years.

Cancer (June 22nd to July 23rd)

These children of the moon have their emotions running high, as periodic as the phases of the moon. They are very intuitive, domestic, even maternal. They love to care for others and can create very homely spaces.

The Flower of Peace is perfect for them. Not only because of its symbolism, which is that of trust, innocence, peace and love, which cancer needs so much to be happy; but also because they are easy to take care of and have a colour capable of transmitting calm and relaxing vibes.

Leo (July 24 to August 23)

Leo feels best when they are on stage, with the spotlight on them, either literally or figuratively. Proud, majestic and generous, they will not hesitate to lend you a hand. Their weak point is flattery, they love it and will melt with it.

For Leo, an eye-catching plant would be a good choice, either because it is undeniably beautiful or because it is very large, majestic or imposing. Begonias, which have beautiful, abundant flowers, or a large Adam's Rib, with giant, lush leaves, would suit Leo's personality.

Virgo (August 23 to September 22)

Virgo is organised, methodical and perfectionist. They are often said to be very demanding and square. The truth is that they are quiet, a bit solitary but careful, delicate and hard-working. This personality is best suited to plants that require special care, which can take advantage of this sign's meticulousness.

Orchids, which require very precise care in order to bloom and be maintained, are delicate plants. If flowers aren't your thing, you'll like the Prayer flower or tricolour maranta because of the symmetry of its leaves and shape.

Libra (September 23 to October 22)

This sign lives up to its symbol: the scales, but not because it is the symbol of balance, but because it struggles in a constant duality that can seem incongruous. They seek harmony, balance, but for this they go to extremes.

For this sign, plants that harmonise with their desire for balance and equilibrium are ideal. A snake plant, with its perfectly aligned and symmetrical leaves, may appeal to them. Likewise, an olive tree may suit you with its solidity and size.

Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)

Intuitive, with a strong and passionate personality, they are one of the most misunderstood of the zodiac. Calculating, they know very well what they want and what they don't want. They love to have an aura of mystery, a little intimidating, but there are others who are openly charming and sociable, but this is a facade to hide the fact that they find it hard to trust and give themselves because they are very emotional and sensitive.

For Scorpios, a plant has to be interesting, beautiful and all the better if it looks a little dangerous. A Venus flytrap would suit them very well, but if carnivorous ones are hard for you to care for or get, you can look for something with thorns, like a wild Aloe, a cactus or a rose.

Sagittarius (November 21 to December 21)

Sagittarius is full of joy, full of zest for life. Ready for adventure, they are spontaneous, joking, friendly and a little reckless. Intelligent, reckless, fiery, honest and restless, it is common for you to love animals.

You need a plant that is easy to care for and non-toxic to your pet. A Boston Fern or Kentia Palm would be perfect for Sagittarius.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Capricorn is a traditional, somewhat stubborn sign who appreciates the value of hard work. They assert themselves, but not in a theatrical way like Leo or Aries, but by dint of reason and intelligence. You have no choice but to agree with them. They are ambitious, but they respect tradition and those who have paved the way for them to follow.

This personality adapts very well to bonsais, because they are plants that thanks to discipline, patience and knowledge have achieved a perfect and harmonious form, without abandoning their natural characteristics.

Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

If you have to describe Aquarius in one word, it would be unique. They are not afraid to swim against the current to show their non-conformity to the world, they are curious, imaginative and seductive. They have a free, revolutionary and analytical mind. Some consider them eccentric.

The most appropriate plants for aquariums are the Calathea, whose original leaves are capable of captivating anyone. Put several Calathea together and you will create a unique atmosphere.

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Sentimental, lovable and very relaxed; Pisces are the type who tend to let themselves flow with the day to day. They are charming, dreamy and have a faculty of isolating themselves from reality, creating their own pink and happy world. Close to art and other beautiful things, the perfect plant for this sign is the Jade.

This plant is discreet and elegant, as well as being very easy to care for. Another plant that would suit it well would be the Fittonia, as it is as delicate, expressive and sentimental as Pisces.
