What’s your houseplant soulmate? Yes, some might believe in ‘The One’ when it comes to making a love connection, but we’re firmly of the belief that there is a very special indoor plant that matches each and every single person’s personality.

Think about it; some people just get houseplants – their fiddle leaf stands tall and glossy, their spider plant is bursting with babies, and their peace lily never once droops – while others can’t keep a cactus alive for love nor money. Maybe, though, those houseplant mistakes have less to do with your watering schedule, and more to do with your personality?

Just like people, plants have quirks, preferences and needs. Some thrive on routine and gentle care, others prefer to be left to their own devices. A dramatic African violet loves attention, while a stoic snake plant quietly thrives in the corner, unbothered by a bit of neglect.

So, with all of that in mind, which leafy companion best matches your vibe? Take our quiz to find out which houseplant mirrors your personality, and pick up a few care tips along the way. Hey, it’s worth a go if your next green best friend is written in the soil...

So, how did you get on? If you whizzed through this (and loved it), then you might like to try our witchy plants or plant identification quizzes – and be sure to look out for more quizzes and puzzles coming very soon.
