The Air Plant Profile
This is a blog post on the Air Plant Profile! This plant represents communication, travel, and clarity in confusing situations.
When the air plant comes about for Mercury in Retrograde, one of the things that stands out is confusion and complexities. It’s time to let go of anything you may feel confused or uneasy about!
As with all air plants, it’s a time to let go of all that no longer serves you and shed old skin. It’s time to clear the path in front of you and make a straight line to the future.
The air plant monograph is an especially twisted plant, full of twists and turns and dark surprises around every corner. With the air plant by your side, you can use it in a spell or room to clear up any situation that seems out of focus.

The Air Plant Profile
I always think of the air plant as a lone traveler and communicator, much like its Gemini counterpart! It is associated with the planet Mercury, which is the planet of communication, travel, and technology.
The air plant is especially connected to Mercury Retrograde, a period when things slow down and we go within the darkest parts of our souls. The air plant denotes clarity, clear communication, and the places we can go deep within our minds.
The spiritual meaning of the air plant profile is deep cleansing! It removes all toxicity and pollution from the air. It comes in handy after there has been any kind of argument or disagreement. Simply place it in the room and let it go to work!
The air plant is also deeply associated with Lord Hermes, the Greek God of communication, travel, and technology! Hermes is also tied to the planet Mercury.
Air plants are of the air element! They represent all air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) and the ability to think on your feet. This makes air plants the perfect plant for any Gemini Full Moon!

Air Plant Deep Cleansing Spell
On the day of any Gemini Full Moon, do some deep cleaning in and around the home! You can choose to clean out a drawer or a closet or clean an entire room.
While doing this, bring out an air plant and place it in the room with you. Be sure to put your intention into it! Your intention should be to remove a specific confusing situation from your life.
Think about what has been confusing you and how you can clear it up. Be sure to keep looking back at your air plant while you are deep-cleaning your room or office. Keep putting your intention into it by focusing on the air plant or holding it in your hands from time to time!
At this time, keep cleaning and removing old items, canceling subscriptions, throwing out old spell jars, etc. Keep doing this until you feel the air has been completely cleared.
Place the air plant somewhere near a window where it can soak up the Gemini Full Moon as well as clear the air of pollution and toxins. Leave it there for a three-day moon cycle and keep putting your intention into it.
By the third day, you should feel clean and clear! You should feel less confused and more focused than you were before. Leave a green fluorite crystal near your air plant, and they can pair together to keep you focused on the future.
