The Next Plant You Should Get Based on Your Enneagram
Your enneagram type can influence so many aspects of your life - relationships, style, career and even the best plant for you! Plant mamas and papas everywhere would love to know the plant that will thrive under their care based on their enneagram type.
To round out our list, we tapped into the team at Bachman’s for their expertise. In chatting with Karen Bachman Thull, the Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications, she shares that “like people, plants have their own personalities! Matching the right houseplant with the right person is an exciting adventure and Bachman's is here to help! There are plants that like bright light and plants that like low light. Some thrive in humidity while others like it dry. Some need their roots moist all the time, while others like to dry out before they drink again."
"Plants come in all shapes and sizes and that's what makes plant shopping so much fun. You have the ability to find a plant that suits your individual space, style and routines." - KAREN BACHMAN THULL OF BACHMAN'S
