Calathea
With your spontaneous approach to life, colorful wardrobe, and killer dance moves, you’ve been called “The Life of The Party” more than a few times in your life! When you enter the room, the energy lifts, and your smile is infectious. It’s easy for you to make people laugh because you don’t like to take things too seriously. The vibrant calathea is the perfect plant to add to your home, because not only do its colorful leaves stand out from the rest, but it’s a total mover and shaker, just like you! Actually, though, the calathea is always moving and repositioning itself, so you’ll really get a kick out of its ever-changing appearance. As they say, variety is the spice of life!
Fiddle Leaf Fig
You like to put a lot of time, effort, and resources into the things that are important to you—especially yourself! Okay, so some people might call you a bit of a diva, but really, that’s quite a compliment! Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, and Beyonce are all divas, and they’re pretty much royalty. Your hair and nails are always on-point, and you’re big into brand name clothes and the shiniest, sparkliest trends. The fiddle leaf fig is pretty much your houseplant soulmate—its style game is off the charts, bringing an air of modern glamour and a little bit of attitude. It can be a bit finicky at times, so you have to put in some extra effort to keep it happy, but if it’s well taken care of, it will easily be the most beautiful plant in the room.
Pothos
Tenacious, driven, and self-assured! Those are three words that sum you up perfectly. Your friends can always rely on you to show up on time, lend a helping hand without having to ask, and offer sage advice. Your headstrong nature makes you a great worker and an admirable role model—a few roadblocks won’t stop you from getting the job done! The pothos plant completely matches your approach to life and your get-er-done attitude. This houseplant may look ordinary, but it’s surprisingly hardy, climbing up tall trellises all by itself, or trailing down at impressive lengths. It won’t cause too much of a fuss or be overly demanding—so long as you provide it with the basics, this tough-as-nails plant will get to work, and have plenty to show for it.
Christmas Cactus
Oh boy, we got a rebel over here! You love shaking things up, causing a stir, and trying things differently. Why go with the flow when you can charge upstream and forge your own path? You crave excitement and have a wicked sense of humor—your friends can always rely on you to have a snappy comeback or a smart remark. The Christmas cactus is an awesome houseplant that you’ll totally vibe with. It likes to do things a little differently—bursting with neon pink or red blossoms in winter instead of summer, and turning heads with its wild display of spiky foliage that looks kind of like that gelled-up hairstyle you had back in high school. If any houseplant has a rock n’ roll attitude, it’s this bad boy!
Peace Lily
There’s something about you that just puts other people at ease! You’re mindful, conscientious, and a great listener, always observing your surroundings and picking up on the energies around you. A cup of tea, a good book, and a hammock are all you need to have a perfect afternoon. Aesthetically, you’ve got an effortless elegance about you, and you like your clothing loose, light, and breezy. The peace lily aligns with your calming energy, and while it can sometimes be a bit sensitive, if it’s well taken care of, it makes its environment safer and more comfortable by purifying the air. It truly is a benevolent plant! Its creamy white blossoms stand tall among a sea of sleek, shiny foliage—we guarantee you’ll feel a little more zen when you’ve got some peace lilies in your sunroom.
