The Best Houseplant for Your Sun Sign
Indoor greenery allows us to commune with nature just a little bit inside our homes — so it only makes sense to add stars into the mix. Each sign has its strengths and weaknesses, and they all have a plant that’s going to thrive in their care.
If you’re thinking of adding a little greenery to your home but are having some trouble deciding which plants to get, or you’re an experienced green thumb looking for something new, consider getting one of these indoor plants for your home yoga space based on your sun sign.
Aries: Orchid
You have a fiery ambition and you like to show off, so the orchid is the perfect choice for you. Caring for them is a specialized skill, and you’re absolutely up for the challenge. Once you get it just right, you’ll have the perfect blooms to adorn your Instagram. If that’s not enough for your competitive nature, there’s always the orchid show circuit, too.

Taurus: Spider Plant
You’re all about nourishing yourself from the roots, and so is the easygoing spider plant. It has a reputation as a beginner houseplant, but a more nurturing hand can really help it thrive. Once it flourishes, it will reward you with more little baby plants to decorate your home or share with your closest friends.

Gemini: Air Plants
Like you, the Tillandsia family is varied and adaptable (and it shares an affinity for the air element). They’re usually fine on their own for a while, too, in case you need to run off on a last-minute adventure.

Cancer: Pilea
While Pilea has a reputation for being a good beginner houseplant, it’s low-key a little moody — but you can relate. It can get picky about where it feels at home, and left to its own devices for a while, you may find it struggling toward the nearest window. But your nurturing, caring nature is a perfect fit, and it will love you for years to come.

Leo: Pothos
You need a bright, abundant plant to match your gregarious nature, and a pothos can easily keep up with you. Varieties like the golden pothos, with its intricate leaf patterns, are especially ready to show off. With a little care and attention, your pothos will become its own grand statement in your home. It even caters to your fear of criticism: It’s exceptionally forgiving, so your chances of rejection are low.
Virgo: Monstera
Virgo, you want a beautiful, tidy plant that complements your meticulously planned home — and the Monstera wants a respectful human that’s going to remember to clean its leaves. It’s a match made in botanical heaven.

Libra: Lipstick Plant
Beauty is important to you, and the easygoing lipstick plant is gorgeous, with waxy leaves and bright blossoms. They propagate easily too, so it’s easy to share with friends. These vines come in multiple varieties to match your aesthetic vision, so hopefully you don’t have too much trouble deciding!

Scorpio: Inchplant
Once you’re in, you’re all in, and so is the wild inchplant. Give it the proper care and it will love you back fiercely, taking over every corner of your home if you’ll let it. It has its own baggage — it’s actually pretty likely to give you a rash — but that’s probably something you can respect.

Sagittarius: False Rose of Jericho
Your impulsive and occasionally flighty nature can sometimes put you at odds with houseplants — but not the trusty resurrection plant. Just a couple of hours after watering, it unfurls into a weird and wild bloom. If you lose interest, it just goes back into hibernation, potentially for years, until you’re ready to experience it again.

Capricorn: African Violet
What’s that? You’re looking for an intense project with very specific needs to obsess over? Here, meet the African Violet, which is picky about soil, water, light, and…well, everything. You’ll feel invigorated by its challenges, and it will reward you with dazzling blooms.

Aquarius: Marimo Moss Balls
You’re all about thinking outside the box, and the Marimo Moss Ball is an unconventional plant. Rather than growing in soil, it happily bobs around in water and is equally at home in a jar, a clear vase, or an aquarium. They can live for more than a century, and don’t need a lot from you except for the occasional water change, so you can be independent spirits together.

Pisces: Aloe Vera
This easy going succulent is kindred to your watery, caring nature. In addition to adding a pop of green to your home, the gel just inside the leaves can help heal any number of skin afflictions. You may be tempted to fuss over it a little too much, but it doesn’t need a lot of attention to survive — so relax and let it take care of you instead.
