Indoor plants are no longer just a stylish addition; they’re also reportedly a source of well-being, mood enhancement…
Following Halloween and heading towards Christmas, some may be feeling that pull toward connections with nature and the cosmos. In this regard, plant specialists Beards & Daisies have collaborated with Celebrity Psychic & Astrological Advisor Inbaal Honigman to pair the ideal houseplant with your star sign.
Houseplants, with their air-purifying properties and energy-boosting traits, are the perfect companions for this season of transformation. As we tap into our zodiac signs for guidance, each star sign aligns beautifully with certain plants.
Celebrity Psychic & Astrological Advisor Inbaal Honigman:
“Bringing a bit of nature into the home benefits different star signs in different ways. Fire signs, such as Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, have an outdoorsy streak to them, so they’re either outside or by a window, therefore they feel right at home in creating a little jungle in the living room. Earth signs like Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn love the stability and predictability of being surrounded by sturdy plants.
“Air signs such as Gemini, Libra and Aquarius feel more in balance when they’re near nature. Flowers and plants give them the feeling of having more space to think their thoughts. And Water signs like Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are maternal and love nurturing and taking care of a plant.”
