So, I’ve been wanting to get into plants, and I figured an Aquarius plant would be cool, you know, kinda matching my vibe. I did some digging online, and it turns out Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and Saturn. Apparently, Uranus is all about freedom and new ideas, while Saturn… well, I’m not entirely sure, but it sounded important!
I started by looking for plants that are easy to take care of. I am NOT a green thumb. Seriously, I’ve killed cacti before. It’s a gift.
The Hunt Begins
- I hit up a local nursery. It was overwhelming! So many plants, so many smells.
- I asked one of the workers for help. Told them I was a beginner and needed something “Aquarius-y”. They looked at me like I was a little crazy, but then they pointed me towards some air plants.
- Air plants? Sounded weird. But the worker assured me they were super low-maintenance.
I ended up picking a couple of small, spiky air plants. They looked kinda futuristic, which felt right for Uranus, I guess. I also grabbed a little spray bottle because you apparently just mist them with water. Easy peasy.
Setting Up My Little Space Dudes
I found some cute little glass containers and some colorful pebbles. I arranged the pebbles in the containers and then nestled the air plants on top. They looked surprisingly cool! Like little alien landscapes.
I placed them on my windowsill where they’d get some indirect sunlight. And that was it! I spritzed them with water a couple of times a week, and they seem to be doing great. It’s been a few weeks, and they haven’t died yet, which is a major win for me.
It is very exciting for me to see that they are still alive, I will continue to take care of them.I am already thinking about if I need to consider getting more plants.!
