Plants are living organisms, rooted in one place and in order to survive they need to be sensitive towards

the changes within their environment. This means they need to be adaptable in order to be able to
withstand these unavoidable fluctuations in their external as well as internal environments such as
temperature and soil changes and availability of sunlight. Plant kingdom people are sensitive to their
environment and the people around them and are continually adapting to their external influences. If
you require a plant kingdom remedy you may be:

Sensitive to external influences such as noise, smell and atmospheric changes.

Emotionally sensitive, caring more about feelings than material things.

Changeable and a pooldaptable to situations.

Easily affected by weather changes.
