Zodiac Lucky Plants 11/22-12/21

Colocasia  -  Sagittarius  Zodiac  Lucky  Plant

By Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats

...Of all three fire signs, Sagittarius is the least likely to care with growing plants.... In the short hours of rest, he will gladly look and smell, and taste, and even will delighted with them (if time remains), thinking: "Beautiful! I hadn't noticed before?" And, instructing someone to start growing the plants he likes, this tireless Archer will hurry further... Plants that can attract the attention of Sagittarius most often have large spectacular flowers with a pronounced scent, often they have large, elongated leathery leaves. And he also really likes fruits and nuts - he loves a deliciousness....
...Colocasia's and Alocasia's heart-shaped leaves,  arrow-like (named also sagittate!) shoots, and overall rarity makes these plants stand out next to more traditional house plants. These plants are known as needing little more love and care, but also for being able to return these benefits to their gardener.
