Plant Symbolism: What’s Your Spirit Plant?

Houseplants are the perfect eco-friendly decor to incorporate into your space. They have a ton of benefits including a more positive mental state, cleaner air and increased productivity. Did you realize that plants can be symbols of inspiration as well? Plant symbolism is a great way to find a plant that aligns with your personality or goals. Once you find the plant that’s a perfect match it can serve as a reminder of the symbolism that drew you to the plant!

This is not a new practice as people from ancient civilizations practiced plant symbolism to explain nature and their environment. Flower and plant lovers from the Victorian era used plant symbolism to describe their feelings towards one another. And today many people are using plant symbolism to find their inspirational “spirit plant.”

 

 

Plant symbolism is derived from a plant’s origin or “roots”, folk stories, its appearance, color and other special properties. Knowing a plant’s symbolism adds more meaning to your decor choices and can help you select the perfect plant as a meaningful gift for someone.
