This plant represents what's happening inside of you. The world, like the soil, is cold and dark–layered with a history of destruction and death. You were planted in this world to rise above it. Do you not see? The very existence of this darkness gives you the opportunity to become a light to the world. Seth Adam Smith
About This Quote

The plant can be used to symbolize patience, growth, endurance, hard work and resilience. The world is cold and dark which means that you will have to endure dark days. There will be times where you feel weak and down but you must keep your faith in the process of life. The world is cold and dark because you are planted in this world to grow. As the plant grows it reaches out for the sun, which gives it energy to grow even further.

It will also endure harsh conditions such as drought, frost, extreme heat, wind and rain. This way it gains strength to become a better person. As the plant grows it becomes a brighter light, which means that you will have to rise above the darkness that surrounds you. You can do this by being patient, being loving and being strong.
