Fun Succulents that Match Your Zodiac Sign

Millennials are crazy for succulents, and it’s not hard to see why. These plants are cute and cheap and don’t require much tending, which means they won’t die on you when you neglect them as you get busy with work or business, social commitments, and personal life.

On a deeper level, millennials easily relate to these plants, because just like you, these succulents are alive, temperamental, and thrive with the right amount of water and sunshine. Sometimes, however, it can be hard to choose the best succulent to suit your personality, lifestyle, and ability to grow a plant (read: green thumb).

If you’re one of the many who’ve been bitten by the botanical bug but clueless about where to start, let the stars guide you. Astrology has become a go-to for millennials in search of insight and advice, relying on it to provide them with inside knowledge about their likes and dislikes and which qualities best go with their unique personalities. Like people, plants possess unique characters, and that is why you want to make sure you’re getting the right succulent for your home or room.

If you’re ready to jump into the succulent bandwagon, here’s the perfect succulent to buy, depending on your birthday.

Aries is known to be fiery, powerful, and independent. They are always moving, doing, creating. Your choice plant is the Echeveria harmsii, also known as the plush plant or red Echeveria. Like a true Aries who needs to be noticed, the Plush plant is a particularly showy species with its green leaves with pink to red tips and bright orange flowers that bloom in the summer, attracting hummingbirds.

The Plush plant can do well in rock gardens, container gardens, and wreaths. It enjoys full to partial sunshine and does not do well in cold temperatures. When planting indoors, place the Plush plant in a room with at least 6 hours of sunlight.

The watering needs of the Plush plant is no different from other Echeverias. It does not enjoy prolonged wetness or dryness.

The Plush plant is easy to propagate through leaves, cuttings, or seeds.

Taurus is a fixed earth sign, known for being practical, cautious, and a creature of comfort to the point of laziness. Taurus people do not like change. A slow-growing plant like the Haworthia, commonly called zebra cactus, pearl plant, star window plant, or cushion aloe, is perfect for you.

Haworthia is perfect for inexperienced gardeners because it’s easy to maintain and hard to kill. It grows slowly and usually stays under three inches in height and less than six inches in diameter at maturity.

Haworthia growing tips

Unlike most succulents, Haworthia is cold hardy, meaning it can grow throughout winter and goes dormant during summer. It tolerates low light and partial sun, making it a perfect indoor plant.

You can propagate Haworthia by pulling the offsets at the base of the plant and allowing them to dry for a day or two before replanting them in well-draining soil.

On the other hand, Geminis are fast, witty, adaptable, and popular- sounds just like Aloe vera, one of the most common succulents all over the world.

Mature Agave americana plants are among the most forgiving and hardy succulent varieties. They thrive in full sun but can tolerate frost. While they prefer sandy or rocky soil, they can endure any soil that drains well. Agave Americana succulents are monocarpic plants, meaning they bloom once, then die. However, they produce several offsets before they wither. These succulents are widely used as fences because they can grow up to 10 feet tall and live up to 30 years.

Leos are bold, confident, and love to be the center of attention. They’ll do anything to be the star of the show, much like the Sedum nussbaumerianum, also known as Coppertone Sedum or Golden Sedum.

The Golden Sedum prefers less water than other succulents, and actively grows in the cold months.
