Any Orchid is a great pair for a caretaker personality like Aries.

Virgos will happily parent a plant that follows a schedule and tends to be fastidious just like them, just like the Echeveria. The Echeveria likes to stick to a routine, having things be a certain way, otherwise discomfort is inevitable.

12. Pisces: ZZ Plant
Pisces are natural nurturers, but this daydreamy sign can slip into their imagination, losing track of things like time, space and watering schedules.
