What 15 different houseplants say about you

I know I'm doing this not in the way intended, but I don't think Kimisha will mind. Also, I know the image isn't the most relevant, but I found it and fell in love.

  1. Orchids comment on your elegance and beauty, no matter how scarce you may feel they are
  2. Pothos acknowledge your resilience
  3. Pileas tell you to always look for the light
  4. Succulents share the importance of taking your time
  5. Cacti teach you how to get through any kind of drought
  6. Money trees remind you to save
  7. Ponytail palms suggest how to style your hair
  8. Peperomias say to embrace variety
  9. Inch plants muse on your growth
  10. Basil admires your zest for life
  11. Spider plants show to breed community
  12. Snake plants reveal how to purify your surroundings
  13. Ferns emphasize the importance of the past
  14. Monsteras present to you how to not judge something just by its name
  15. Aloe stresses how to soothe yourself
