The small scleranthus plant
Scleranthus is a tiny plant that is easy to overlook, especially when growing amongst other plants.
In fact, finding it often means getting on your hands and knees to peer closely at the ground.
It has tiny green flowers and a low, spreading form. This closeness to the ground is a strong indication of the nature of Scleranthus types.
Many plants reach for the sun with a sense of purpose – for example Impatiens that grows at considerable speed. But not Sceleranthus, it moves across the ground in random directions as if searching without focus.
Scleranthus types become limited in their vision and lack decisiveness. Bach said that they relied purely on intellect and not at all on intuition, the voice of the soul. At times of choice, they could not hear that voice to help them decide on their path. In fact, they are prone to change their minds constantly. The lack of an inner compass keeps them from their path.
This leads to uncertainty and changing decisions. The essence brings self-determination, focus and decisiveness.
