🍃 (Leaf Fluttering in the Wind) Emoji Meanings

Download Article

1. 1 The 🍃 emoji reps all things plant-related. Admiring some green, cascading vines at the botanical gardens? Recently planted a new tree in your yard? Found a super rare houseplant on sale? Whatever it is, if it’s plant-related, the 🍃 emoji is fair game.
   • “My view right now at the botanical gardens is awe-inspiring 🍃🪴🌸”
   • “Say hello to our new family member. It’s an eastern red cedar 🍃🌳”
   • “Found this guy on sale today at the plant shop, can’t believe my luck! 🍃”
2. 2 The 🍃 emoji is a favorite for good weather vibes. During spring and summer, you may notice the 🍃 emoji popping up more in texts and on social media. This green, lush, airy emoji just seems to perfectly capture that easy, breezy feeling that comes with warmer days. You can use it when you’re sharing a pic of yourself at the park, going on a hike, or lounging by the pool with friends.
   • “So happy spring is finally here 🍃☀️”
   • “Appreciating this gorgeous summer day at the park with my favorite people ❤️🍃”
   • “It’s officially shorts and t-shirt weather, let’s do this! 🍃🌞🩳”
   Advertisement
3. 3 The 🍃 emoji is also used on windy days. It is called the leaf fluttering in the wind emoji, after all. These fluttering leaves are perfect for a windy day.
   • “Can’t get over how windy it is today! 🍃”
   • “Wind: 1 Me & my umbrella: 0 🍃☂️”
   • “I love watching the fall leaves blow around in the wind 🍃🍂❤️” [2]
4. 4 The 🍃 emoji is popular in weed culture. If someone is doing something involving marijuana, like smoking a joint, trimming some weed plants, or making their own edibles, they might include the 🍃 emoji when they post or text about it.
   • “Nothing like a joint and a good book on a beautiful summer day 🍃📖”
   • “Attempting to make weed brownies for the first time…wish me luck! 🍃👩‍🍳”
   • “Just a few more hours until I’m off and kicking it with the mates 🍃🍺”

What does the 🍃 (leaf fluttering in the wind) emoji mean on TikTok?

Download Article

1. The 🍃 emoji is usually a stand in for weed on TikTok. TikTok’s guidelines prevent users from posting directly about marijuana or anything weed-related, but people have found a way with the help of the 🍃 emoji. If you see the 🍃 emoji popping up on TikTok, especially if it’s paired with the 💨 emoji (used as a symbol for smoke), there’s a good chance it has something to do with weed.
   • “#🍃💨”
   • “5 reasons you should date a st0ner 💚🍃”
   • “Signs you’re a smoker 🍃💨”

🍁 (Maple Leaf) Emoji Meanings

Download Article

1. 1 The 🍁 emoji is a symbol for everything related to maple trees. Maple trees, maple syrup, and the humble maple leaf itself—anything that has to do with maple trees can be paired with this emoji.
   • “When I buy a house, I want to plant a maple tree in the front yard 🍁🌳”
   • “I refuse to eat pancakes unless they’re doused in syrup 🍁”
   • “Think I’m going to press some 🍁 this fall 😊”
2. 2 The 🍁 emoji is an autumn classic. The vibrant red-orange color of this leaf emoji makes it a favorite for all things fall. Raking leaves and videoing yourself diving into the pile? Snapping a pic of the changing leaves on your scenic drive? If it’s fall-related, include the 🍁 emoji when you post or text about it.
   • “This is my favorite time of year! 🍁🥧🧦”
   • “Truly stunning views of the changing leaves on my commute to work today 🍁🌳”
   • “When you spend an hour raking leaves and your dog decides it’s his turn 🍁🐶🙃”
3. 3 The 🍁 emoji is the ultimate badge for all things Canadian. The maple leaf is an important symbol in Canada (it’s even featured on their national flag!), so the 🍁 emoji has come to represent Canadian pride, people, holidays, and everything else related to the country.[3]
   • “Happy Canada Day!! 🍁🇨🇦”
   • “Definitely need to plan a trip to Canada soon. I’ve heard it’s beautiful there 🍁🍁🍁”
   • “Proud to be Canadian today 🇨🇦🍁❤️”

🌿 (Herb) Emoji Meanings

Download Article

1. 1 The 🌿 emoji is often sprinkled into posts and messages about cooking. What would a home-cooked meal be without the delicious herbs and spices? If you’re sharing an awesome new recipe you tried, posting pics of an elaborate homemade feast, or trying to get the deets about a cool restaurant your friend is at, use the 🌿 emoji to add some extra emoji flavor.
   • “This vegan artichoke dip recipe is unreal 🌿🍲”
   • “I may have accidentally dumped a whole container of Italian seasoning onto my pasta…oops 💁‍♂️🌿”
   • “That looks amazing…need to know what restaurant this is ASAP 🌿😋”
2. 2 The 🌿 emoji is also associated with natural remedies and medicine. Did your mom concoct you an herbal smoothie to make your cold go away faster? Or are you on the hunt for an all-natural remedy for headaches? Whatever the situation, if it involves natural remedies or medicine, it’s time to pull out the 🌿 emoji.[4]
   • “I know this smoothie looks questionable, but I swear it gets rid of a fever in like 2 hours 🌿”
   • “My mom is like an encyclopedia when it comes to herbal Chinese medicine 🌿”
   • “Over-the-counter meds bother my stomach—I’m looking for something more natural to try 🌿”
3. 3 The 🌿 emoji is a popular symbol for nature. This green, leafy emoji is the perfect symbol for the beauty of the natural world. You might use it when texting about a particularly beautiful hike you went on, that breathtaking herd of deer you saw wander by, or the mountain lake you just took a dip in.
   • “Had the most incredible experience earlier when a herd of deer walked by our campsite 🦌🌿”
   • “Getting out in nature really helps your worries melt away 🌿”
   • “Still can’t get over the views from our hike earlier. Nature is amazing 🌿⛰️”

🍂 (Fallen Leaf) Emoji Meanings

1. 1 The 🍂 emoji embodies all things leaf-related. Leaf piles, wet leaves on the ground, leaves rustling on a tree in the wind—anything related to leaves is a great match for the 🍂 emoji.[5]
   • “The leaves are starting to fall outside! 🍂”
   • “The 🍂 on my plant are starting to turn yellow—any ideas?”
   • “Currently looking at leaves through my telescope and it’s honestly fascinating 🍂”
2. 2 The 🍂 emoji is a fall favorite. Similar to the 🍁 emoji, the 🍂 emoji is often used throughout autumn to represent changing and falling leaves, chilly weather, and spooky Halloween vibes.
   • “It’s finally cozy slipper and sweater weather 🍂😎 ☕”
   • “Stuffing my old clothes with 🍂 to make a spooky leaf person for our Halloween party 😈”
