The plus sign (+) is for selecting the next sibling.
Is there an equivalent for the previous sibling?

The general sibling selector selects all elements that are next siblings of a specified element.
Type selectors A type selector is sometimes referred to as a tag name selector or element selector because it selects an HTML tag/element in your document. In the example below, we have used the span , em and strong selectors. Try adding a CSS rule to select the <h1> element and change its color to blue.
The “+” sign selector is used to select the elements that are placed immediately after the specified element but not inside the particular elements.
The CSS child selector has two selectors separated by a > symbol. The first selector indicates the parent element. The second selector indicates the child element CSS will style.
No, there is no "previous sibling" selector.
On a related note, ~ is for general successor sibling (meaning the element comes after this one, but not necessarily immediately after) and is a CSS3 selector. + is for next sibling and is CSS2.1.
See Adjacent sibling combinator from Selectors Level 3 and 5.7 Adjacent sibling selectors from Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 Revision 1 (CSS 2.1) Specification.
