Plant Horoscope. Gemini Zodiac lucky plants: Anthurium and Philodenron
Gemini - 5/21-6/20.
Ruled by the mutable, changeable planet Mercury (also patron of the art of medicine), Gemini is an AIR sign. Plants ruled by Mercury tend to have ferny or highly-divided leaves or stems (like the bronchi of lungs), hairy or fuzzy leaves (related to the cilia in the lungs), or subtle odors.
Gemini rules the lungs, shoulders, arms, and hands. Its plants help to strengthen the lungs and respiratory system, relax the nervous system, strengthen ears and hearing, the tongue and speaking, the vocal cords, lungs and thyroid, as well as the shoulders, arms, and hands. Gemini has so much going on mentally that they may need a little help to digest all the information they're constantly absorbing. Herbs that have clean, pure flavor not only help physical digestion, but assist spiritual and mental intake as well.

Pisces Zodiac lucky plants
Pisces- 2/19 -
3/20. As a WATER sign ruled by both Jupiter and Moon (and Neptune, that
was not discovered until 1846, after the plant correspondences were
established; Neptune is considered a "higher octave" of the Moon), Pisces plants are
often large but hard to find, and may grow near the ocean. The most healing
plants for Pisces are those that strengthen the immune system or have an
antibacterial effect. Pisces plants may also catalyze expanded states of awareness
and be helpful in dream work.
Herbs connected to Pisces are ruled by its former ruler, the Moon
(Neptune, the current ruler, was not discovered until 1846, after the plant
correspondences were established; Neptune is considered a “higher octave†of
the Moon). Diseases of Pisces have traditionally included psychotic disorders,
various forms of substance addiction, lung diseases such as tuberculosis, and
ailments of the foot; contemporary herbalists also add immune system
diseases. Pisces is strengthened by rosemary's ability to promote an aura of
centered grounding. This protective herb helps strengthen boundaries and cultivate a
closer connection to the physical realm.

Growing Adeniums: A Beginners Guide
Q: How to you keep Adenium happy and blooming like on the pictures?
A: Adeniums, also known as Desert Roses, are exotic and striking plants that can bring beauty to any indoor or outdoor garden. Despite their desert origins, they require a bit of care to thrive. Here's a simple guide to help you grow healthy and vibrant adeniums:
Light and Location: Adeniums prefer filtered light, although they can tolerate full sun. In hot climates, they thrive in bright, indirect light. Position your plant accordingly to ensure optimal growth.
Potting and Soil: Use a small pot with excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging. Opt for a well-draining soil mix specifically designed for adeniums or create your own mix using cactus mix with added limestone for slightly alkaline conditions.
Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to caudex rot. Water in the early morning and ensure the plant drinks up throughout the day.
Fertilization: Use a liquid fertilizer with high phosphate content to encourage both caudex growth and flowering. Apply according to label instructions, avoiding direct contact with the caudex. We recommend Sunshine Megaflor.
Caring for the Caudex: To promote a large swollen caudex, gradually raise the plant each time you repot it, exposing the upper roots. This encourages the formation of additional roots.
Maintenance and Blooming: Adeniums typically bloom from spring through fall. Ensure they receive ample light for heavy flowering. Avoid wetting the leaves and apply fertilizer to support overall plant health.
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the beauty of adeniums in your own garden or home. With proper care and attention, your Desert Roses will flourish and delight you with their stunning blooms.
