Hi, I’m Erin! I’m an Astrologer (find me over at TBH Magic) with a deep love for houseplants. I’ve always appreciated the cozy elements that make up a home, with a particular affinity for the living parts: the people, the pets, and the plants! My sun is in Cancer, after all. I’ve been visiting The Zen Succulent for almost two years now and I’m so excited to explore the relationship of plants and planets with you guys!

Whether you’re naturally a homebody like me or not, all zodiac signs are spending more time inside right now because of the pandemic. So in honor of that, plus Earth Day and the beginning of Taurus season this week, what better way to celebrate than sharing the best houseplant for your zodiac sign?

The Best Houseplant for Your Zodiac Sign

Aries (March 21 - April 19): Red Prayer Plant

Ready, set, GO! There’s no way around it Aries, you love to win. Inspiration strikes you quickly and you’re off to the races as soon as it does...which might leave a few people praying you know what you’re doing. Like the Red Prayer Plant, you’re colorful, bold and appreciate a good amount of sunlight. 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Signature Succulent Terrarium*

Happy birthday Taurus! Ruled by Venus, you value beauty and are extremely down to earth. What better match for you then, than the Signature Succulent Terrarium? You can count on it being a classic, unfussy addition to any room- just like you.

*PS: DYK? After thriving online for several years, The Zen Succulent opened its first physical space in May 2016 in true Taurus fashion!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Velutina Air Plant

Stimulating conversations are the name of the game for you, Gemini, and the Velutina Air Plant will ensure those conversations happen! They come in varying shapes and sizes, can be placed in lots of different displays, and aren’t tied down by silly things like soil and consistent watering schedules. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 21): Schefflera Amate Umbrella Plant

The home is your domain, Cancer, so houseplants are probably a fluent language for you. And while you appreciate all kinds, the Umbrella Plant is particularly endearing. It’s great at purifying the air, much like your vast emotions, and can shape shift to fit different sized areas. 

Leo (July 22 - August 22): Bromeliad Plant

Bold beauty! Bright lights! Leo, do we have your attention? Your presence is a focal point in any room, not unlike the dramatic Bromeliad Plant. This flowering plant appreciates affection in the form of frequent spritzes of water on its leaves. Sharing your big heart with the world is sure to help others bloom.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Sanseveria Snake Plant 

Not everyone can be as stable as you, dear Virgo, but the Snake Plant comes pretty close! While you’re busy taking care of everyone and everything else around you, the snake plant need not be another thing on your to-do list. Let it be a constant for you, like you are for others.

Libra (September 23 - October October 22): Air Plant Terrarium

As an airy Libra, you strive for balance and are defined by the depth of the beautiful partnerships in your life. So, the Air Plant Terrarium is right up your alley! Unassuming yet always charming and a great compliment to other plants…what’s not to love?

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): ZZ Plant

You stand alone, Scorpio, yet whether you like it or not...everyone is drawn to you! You are tough and like the ZZ Plant, require very little interference from the outside world. The ZZ plant actually prefers to be left alone for the most part, so you can both do your own thing without any hurt feelings.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Bird of Paradise 

Oh, to fly away to a distant tropical land! While you might be reflecting on your most recent getaway rather than setting off on a new one right now Sagittarius, people love when you’re around. Like the Bird of Paradise houseplant, you bring a warm and vibrant energy to any household and are happy to stand tall in the sunlight.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Money Tree 

Let’s get right to the point. You are a BOSS, Capricorn. Money is your preferred language, so the Money Tree is an obvious choice for you. Requiring little attention, it will thrive on its own accord and maybe even bring you a little financial luck (ok, maybe we’re just crossing our fingers on that part)!

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Egg Terrarium

We’re officially inhabiting the Age of Aquarius, and if you had to choose a vessel, friendly Aquarius, this unique Egg Terrarium probably wouldn’t be far off. The weirder, the better! You like to march to the beat of your own drum and an air plant in an interesting holder is just the kind of conversation piece you love.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Brazilian Philodendron

Where do you live right now, Pisces? Your bed? Your bath? The Brazilian Philodendron can float around with you wherever that may be. It has draping, heart shaped leaves that echo your own fluid string of sentiments…
