Tips for Beginner Green Witches
Sometimes you just donât know where to start! I hope that this post will help some beginner green witches đ
Beginner-Friendly Plants :
Dandelions - Good friends! They are plentiful and they help the environment so much. Often mistaken for weeds! They can be used in wish spells or divination
Marigolds - Very, very easy to grow. Repels all kinds of pests, wonderful to have a hedge of in your garden! Good in spells concerning legal matters and protection.
Spider plants - Kind, air-purifying friends that happily grow anywhere. They produce so many pups, youâll really only need to buy one! Good for spells concerning warding, banishing, and cleansing (of oneself or a room)
Succulents (esp Echeveria and Sempervivum) - They need little more than a sunny window and periodic watering, and they are so nice to have around! Good for spells concerning the home and protection (of said home, or loved ones)
Tomatoes - If youâre starting a garden, itâs pretty hard to screw up tomatoes (itâs okay if you do, tho, I did too.) You get delicious fruit and once theyâre done, they can be plowed back into the soil for nutrients. Good for spells involving love and fertility (more than just making children!)
Lettuce - Easy to propagate from storebought produce (though itâs better to start from a seed) and itâs delicious! (Spray it with garlic water to keep pests off, surround with marigold hedge.) Good for spells involving wealth and self love
Remember to water your plants! This is something even I forget to do, so itâs important building healthy habits
Donât use pesticide/herbicide! Theyâre super, super awful for the environment. There are tons of natural alternatives
I can personally vouch for the Epsom salts, vinegar, and dish soap herbicide recipe!
These arenât the only plants youâre limited to, I encourage you to branch out
Look into companion planting, your babes will help protect each other. There are lots of great charts
Astrology has lots of guides for when to plant your babes, if youâre into that (I am)
Talking and singing to your plants does in fact help them grow. Even if youâre bad at it, or donât know what to say. They enjoy listening
No one is born with a green thumb. I have killed my fair share of plants, I have stumbled and fallen in my craft. But Iâve been at it for a while! Youâll get there, I promise
Have no mercy when pulling weeds or killing pests in your garden
If your plants die even when youâre doing everything right, they have taken a curse or ill will in your place
Prune your plants (especially your house plants) often. They help to get bad vibes from your home, so it gets stored in the dead bits
Donât ever plant mint in the ground. Itâll take over your garden, your yard, your life. It becomes a hellish nuisance you canât get rid of. Just, donât. Please.
