The Best Plants For Your Garden If You're A Cancer

Those who were born under the fourth sign of the zodiac, Cancer, are well-known for their imaginative, sympathetic, and sensitive personalities, describes Astrology Zodiac Signs. Born between June 21 and July 22, this sign enjoys the beautiful yet simple things about life such as art, water, and close relationships with others. In addition to these positive traits, however, the water sign can also be manipulative, moody, and pessimistic. Bringing out a Cancer's best traits can be done by surrounding them with their signature color of white or another symbol of their nature, such as the moon.

Flowers, like Japanese roses or white anthuriums, are a good option for Cancers learning to incorporate their power color into their homes and gardens. Alternatively, Cancers can take a different approach and care for a plant that is fast-growing and in need of specific supervision. Those with the water sign have a natural talent for nurturing living things such as plants. They can relax and find productivity in raising a monstera plant or a money tree from a young seedling. This short collection includes five species the sign will be able to shower love upon for several years. Consider growing one or more of these to remind the Cancer in your life of their intuition, sensitivity, and empathy.

Cancer, who is ruled by the moon, is no stranger to mood swings and fleeting emotions. According to The Sill, there is one flower that mirrors these shifts with its blooming periods. The anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) flowers at seemingly random times year-round, producing waves of spectacular red, pink, or white blossoms. Cancer will benefit even more from growing the white cultivar of this gorgeous plant to connect to their power color. When a Cancer surrounds themselves with their power color they may soothe their pessimistic thoughts and focus instead on love and understanding, explains Tarot.com.

Anthurium, which also goes by the name flamingo flower, is grown for its glossy, arrow-shaped leaves and its ovate blossoms that flower throughout the year. This evergreen perennial can be grown in a pot or a garden. However, the crab should keep in mind that anthurium must also be watered regularly, and the plant will need access to high humidity, especially in the summer, according to the Royal Horticultural Society.

The aloe vera plant (Aloe barbadensis) makes sense for Cancer to grow because of its medicinal properties. Petal Republic states that both the plant and the person are caring and nurturing by nature. While Cancer tends to insist on helping in any way they can, aloe gel from the plant's leaves can be of great assistance as well by healing cuts and burns. Cancer and aloe will get along fine as they exist to help each other live more comfortably.

The aloe plant is a low-maintenance and fast-growing plant that is commonly grown both indoors and outdoors. This succulent is versatile and can serve several purposes when cared for in the right way. As explained by the University of Florida, aloe should be grown in full sun with well-draining soil and little water. Because Cancer tends to care almost too much about the things that depend on them, they should be careful not to overwater this drought-tolerant specimen.
