The stars are the subject of astrology, but plants, by definition, are terrestrial. The two align quite well when you think about it: Zodiac is all about behaviors, relationships, and how we act towards each other. Those “others” are actually houseplants in this instance. (So what? A roommate is a roommate even if it eats sunlight and doesn’t pay rent.)
Scroll down to find out what plants are best for every zodiac sign.
Aries: Purple Orchid
Purple Orchid matches your bold personality, which is characteristic of Aries, the fire sign. Even though you’re independent, you’re a proud parent who likes to take care of others, so you don’t mind fussing over this plant! If you have the caretaker personality type like Aries, orchids are the perfect match.
Taurus: Parlor Palm
Tauruses are hardy, confident people who know what they like and don’t apologise for it. Palms, like the Taurus, are beautiful plants with a do-what-you-want attitude, growing taller and taller with little more than sunlight.
Gemini: Spider Plant
Gemini’s adaptability makes it a perfect roommate for the green one who loves to go with the flow just as much as it does. The spider plant is one of the most adaptable houseplants, making it ideal for the ever-changing Gemini who is constantly moving and learning.
Cancer: Hedgehog Aloe Plant
Hedgehog Aloe is the perfect companion for a plant just as tenacious as you. Cancers are persistent, can be used for skincare like regular aloe plants (well done!) and are excellent as caregivers.
Leo: Snake Plant
Snake plants are easy for the lazy Leo to grow when largely ignored. Observe, Leo, it’s true! Don’t be mad! You can also indulge your creative side by choosing a low-commitment plant.
Virgo: Pothos Plant
For analytical Virgos, this plant makes sense from a practical standpoint. Virgos should consider the silver pothos plant as their living air purifier, perfect for cleaning up their surroundings.
Libra: Bird’s Nest Fern
The aesthetic Venus rules Libra, as well as the exquisite Bird’s nest fern, which radiates an innate beauty. Despite being high maintenance, Libras do not apologize for the way they operate. After all, you get to bask in their beauty and love in exchange for your extra effort, isn’t that fair?
Scorpio: Calathea Beauty Star
Calathea beauty star is truly unique – and we’re not just talking about its name. The Scorpion savors challenges, so it makes sense that a true original would enjoy its uniqueness. Scorpios tend to be passionate and courageous, making them ideal for a ‘moderate care’ plant such as Calathea beauty star, which features a stripe pattern in pinks and whites.
Sagittarius: Monstera
As the Internet’s default golden child, Monstera is undoubtedly a person with a lot of personality. Its wild, climbing growth is perfect for all those impatient Sagittarius tendencies,” says the Monstera plant.
Capricorn: Calathea Medallion
The Capricorn is known for providing a stable environment for plants – and that’s exactly what this type enjoys. Those born under the sign of Capricorn who enjoy a challenge will be pleased with the consistency required to flourish in the beautifully illustrated Calathea medallion. Those Capricorns living with a four-legged housemate will also have a bonus: Calathea medallion accommodates them.
Aquarius: Yucca Plant
Aquarius can survive practically anything-even months without water-which is why Yucca cane plants thrive in the star sign. The houseplants won’t suffer. (This is useful when Aquarius decides to travel to commune with nature and leaves her houseplants in charge.)
Pisces: Ponytail Palm
Fishes with a sense of creativity, this one’s for you. A ponytail palm is a hardy, but whimsical plant that is perfect for the artistic Pisces. And if Pisces happens to get lost in her own world and forgets to water it, that’s okay, too!
