Blooming for at least eight weeks, Kalanchoe is known for its energy and endurance, giving the plant a symbolic meaning of “persistent and eternal love”, which matches the high energy and persistent courage that bold Aries naturally exudes. Succulents are the perfect houseplants for the warrior sign as they are both low-maintenance and direct with their needs.

Nicknamed as the “money plant”, the Jade plant encourages good fortune, especially when it comes to luck and prosperity. Ruling the second house of material possessions and finances, Taurus innately understands the value of having physical security. This plant could help speed up any manifestations in the material world.

The toughest of all house plants, Heartleaf Philodendrons are resilient and versatile like their Gemini parent. Just in case you forgot about them amidst your busy social schedule, this plant baby can survive just almost anything other than cold temperatures. Matching your love for growth, they can also grow up to four inches a week!

Coined as the “lily of the desert”, Aloe Vera symbolises grace and health. Healing anything from cuts to skin toxicity, its medicinal properties should come as no surprise. As a deeply nurturing water sign, Cancer has the same instinct to gracefully caretake their loved ones, even during the most challenging moments.

Colourful, vibrant, and showy. Just like radiant Leos, Bromeliads become the centre of attention without even trying to. The flamboyant plant thrives in warm climates, something fiery Leos aren’t unfamiliar with. Bromeliad in its rich colours also speaks to the passionate love that Leos naturally give and receive with their big hearts.

Health and structure are themes associated with Virgos and the Miltonia Orchid. Symbolising good health, the star-shaped plant emits a refreshing fragrance that could brighten up any room. Their delicate nature requires detailed and specific care, which is a level of commitment that possibly only Virgos could show up for.

A natural diplomat, Libras oftentimes find themselves in challenging situations being the peacemaker. Matching exactly what you need, Monstera helps reduce stress levels and purify the air you breathe. The symmetrically split leaves are easy on the eyes for the air sign, as it resembles beauty, balance, and harmony.

Most Scorpios feel a natural resonance with snakes, as they both understand the potency of transformation. The plant’s sword-shaped leaves command attention in a way that only magnetic Scorpios could. Strong and powerful, Snake plants are also close to being indestructible, as they can survive even amidst harsh conditions.

Also known as “prayer plant”, Maranta’s leaves curl up each night, resembling hands in a prayer position. This plant of gratitude is the perfect company for optimistic Sagittarius as their ruling planet, Jupiter, blesses them with endless luck and abundance. The vivid colours and striking patterns of Maranta are the perfect match to the fire sign’s big energy.

From pruning and trimming to receiving proper watering and the correct soil, Bonsai is an art that requires dedication and discipline. As Capricorns are hardwired to build structure and stick to them diligently, the devotional care that Bonsai needs wouldn’t intimidate. Routinely removing the houseplants' clutters and branches might just become one of their favourite pastimes!

Tillandsia symbolizes freedom and creativity, two things that Aquarius value. Matching the air sign perfectly is this “air plant” that doesn’t require soil to develop, as it receives nutrition from the moisture and dirt fibres in the air. Their fuzzy and odd-looking appearance would certainly pique the interest of the eccentric air sign.

In many cultures, Water Lily represents spiritual rebirth and enlightenment because of how the flower blooms from the mud. Being the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces is deeply associated with spirituality and the unseen realms. Being equally in tune with energy, Water Lily has the ability to radiate positivity while warding off bad vibes.
