Our Favorite Planters for Mom

Hi there! It’s Erin from TBH Magic back again to talk plants and planets.

It’s almost Mother’s Day and I’m comparing my Mom to a plant pot. Ok, ok, hear me out. 

If you’re lucky, you have a mother figure that holds space for you. She’s the person who protected you while you were young so you could grow up big and strong.

Your cheerleader.Your rock. Your shoulder to cry on. Your sounding board.

Some of our mothers nurtured us with a classic approach, while others were more versatile or experimental with the containers they used to help us grow.

Do you see where I’m going with this?

If you lived with a mother figure growing up, a lot of your environmental container was shaped by her personality. And that personality, from fiery to emotional to somewhere in-between, had something to do with her astrological sun sign. 

There are 12 zodiac signs total and they each fall into one of four elements: fire, earth, air, or water. These elements combine to create the natural world. While very different, they also depend on each other. 

So, what better way to acknowledge your Mom’s unique nurturing style this Mother’s Day than a beautiful new planter? These plant holders are all different shapes and sizes, yet equally beautiful- just like all the mothers we’re celebrating!

If your Mom is a Fire sign...

• FIRE (Aires, Leo, Sagittarius): Selfie Lady Planter

Fire signs keep us warm. Whether that heat originates from spirited debates, heart-felt shared stories, or laughing so hard we’re red in the face...they know how to raise the temperature in any room! If your Mother has her sun in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, she is definitely full of energy and never fails to light you up. Like the Selfie Lady Planter, she is bold and stands out from the crowd. 

If your Mom is an Earth sign...

• EARTH (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Eco-Planter Pot 

Earth signs take care of our physical well being. They make the most delicious meals, fold the laundry just so, and work hard to ensure there’s money in the bank. If your Mother has her sun in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, she is very grounded and reliable. She’s also quite practical, like the Simple Eco-Planter Pot. Humming away in the background, she ensures you have everything you need.

If your Mom is an Air sign...

• AIR (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Hanging Air Plant Holder

Air signs bring us fresh perspectives. Do you know how to say the alphabet backwards? Can you appreciate different people’s views? Have you figured out creative ways to complete common tasks? If your Mother has her sun in Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, she taught you about the art of an idea and is truly a breath of fresh air! The Hanging Air Plant Holder will speak to her breezy personality. 

If your Mom is a Water sign...

• WATER (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Moet Planter

Water signs reflect our deepest emotions. Learning about our family history, processing grief, and discovering spirituality are all weighty hallmarks of the water realm. If your Mother has her sun in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, she taught you how to swim in the deep end from a young age (perhaps both figuratively and literally)! Like the Moet Planter, she is a mirror and can change based on her surroundings.
