It carries with it the energy of fertility, abundance and transformation in all living things that are around it. Just having a piece on you whilst tending to your plants, flowers or herbs will be enough to boost plant fertility and overall vigour.
Adding a Green Moss Agate crystal to your potted plants can bring a multitude of benefits. It will help you become connected to the earth and nature, and keeps everything more grounded (included you). Not only does it add a touch of natural beauty to your plant collection, but it also promotes healthy growth, and feeds positive energy and vitality to plants and flowers, and pieces look amazing in fairy gardens and succulent gardens. This crystal has a special connection with nature, boosting the overall vitality of your plants and helping them thrive.

Tiger’s Eye.

Adding a Tiger’s Eye crystal to your plants can enhance their overall growth and vitality. This beautiful crystal is known for its grounding and protective properties, providing a stable and nurturing environment for your leafy friends.
By placing one in your plant’s pot (never bury in the soil, it is best off being kept on the surface), you can stimulate root growth and encourage stronger stems and leaves. Tiger’s Eye crystals also absorb and transmute negative energy, creating a harmonious and positive atmosphere for your plants to thrive in. They can help promote emotional balance and boost your green babies’ immune systems, making them more resistant to diseases and pests. So, if you’re a gardening beginner or a seasoned plant enthusiast, why not give your potted plants a little extra TLC with a Tiger’s Eye crystal? They’ll thank you with even more vibrant and flourishing leaves!

Rose Quartz.

Placing Rose Quartz to your plant pots, especially roses, can have some amazing benefits.
Rose Quartz, known as the stone of love, brings a gentle and soothing energy to your plants. When placed in the soil, it promotes healthy growth, encourages blooming, and enhances the overall beauty of your roses. Not only that, but Rose Quartz also has a calming effect on both you and your plants, reducing stress and creating a peaceful environment.
Simply place a tumbled or raw piece of this crystal near the base of your rose plant or bury it slightly in the soil. As you water and care for your roses, the crystal’s energy will infuse the soil, promoting a sense of peace and tranquillity for your plants. So, give your roses some extra love and watch them flourish with the magic of Rose Quartz!

Fuchsite.

Fuchsite is extremely magical when it comes to gardens. Not only does Fuchsite enhance the beauty of your green babies, but it also brings some fantastic healing properties.

Moonstone.

Adding Moonstone to your plant pots can bring some amazing benefits, especially if you’re gardening following the Lunar planting method.
Moonstone, with its ethereal glow and connection to the moon, is believed to enhance the energy of plants and promote growth. It is said to have a calming effect on both plants and their caretakers, helping to create a harmonious and peaceful environment in your garden. So if you’re a gardening beginner or simply looking to give your plants a little extra love, why not give Moonstone a try?

Just place a small Moonstone crystal in your plant pot or bury it in the soil, and let the magic unfold! Remember, gardening according to the phases of the moon can also offer additional benefits, such as increased yield and healthier plants. So why not combine the power of Moonstone with the natural rhythms of the lunar cycle? Moonstone is a symbol of fertility and if you place a piece in your garden overnight, especially under a full moon, your plants will be very happy and gives them a wonderful boost.
As it’s also a stone for new beginnings, have a piece near you when planting seeds or young plants to ensure it blossoms.
