Valentine’s Day is here and so is another excuse to spoil your beloved with sweet and thoughtful gifts because you are caring and loving. Don’t be a red flag, always ready to pick something off the shelf. Put some thought into your gift to show that you pay attention to your beloved’s likes and dislikes. If your Valentine is a biophile (someone who loves plants), get them a houseplant that will keep growing like your love. Here are 10 plants you can give to your biophilic Valentine this year to show them that they are not just a green flag but an entire green forest. And so are you!
Peace Lily
Peace Lily is a beautiful houseplant to gift to someone. It is an easy-to-grow indoor plant that brings a splash of vibrant green to low-light spots while purifying the air you breathe. What more could you ask for in a plant?
Flowering Orchids
A symbol of love, strength, and beauty, orchids are beautiful houseplants. Their colorful flowers are unique and long-lasting. They could be slightly difficult to grow and take care of, but that shouldn’t be a problem for the plant nerd in your life.
Red Cordyline
Red Cordyline is a variety that thrives both indoors and outdoors, but you are more likely to see them flower in the outdoors. The small palm-like evergreen shrub will bring a splash of color with its bright red leaves. Its unique color makes it a perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
Heart Lead Philodendron
Need we say more? The leaves are heart-shaped. Is this God’s Valentine’s Day gift to nature or what? The Heart Leaf Philodendron is a great hanging plant with a tropical vine comprising heart-shaped leaves. It is incredibly easy to take care of and makes a great air purifier.
Hoya
Hoya is a great low-maintenance houseplant. Also known as the wax plant, Hoya has waxy leaves and a fast-growing vine that can trail or climb for more greenery in your home. The plant loves indirect bright light and is best placed near south or west-facing windows.
Lavender
Well, this one works on many levels. Thanks to its buzz-attracting purple flowers and pleasant aroma, Lavender offers plenty of uses: You can use it in floral teas, as a gift, or as a way to attract pollinators. The plant is also easy to care for as it only requires occasional watering and placement in a well-lit area.
Anthurium
Anthurium with its red, white, or pink flowers makes for a great gift. The vibrant indoor plant has glossy and colorful blooms that come in a myriad of shades so you can pick the one with blooms matching the favorite color of your beloved. To add a romantic touch, the flowers resemble a heart.
String of Hearts
One of the most desirable houseplants, String of Hearts is a trailing plant that adds a minimalistic touch to your space. This is an elusive plant but if you can get your hands on one, it’ll make a perfect gift for a houseplant enthusiast more than a bouquet of roses.
Bird-of-Paradise
Bird-of-Paradise is a tropical plant with large leaves and spiky vibrant flowers that resemble birds in flight, hence the name. It thrives both indoors and outdoors. If you are gifting it to your biophilic Valentine, make sure it is placed in a bright spot with indirect sunlight and receives water regularly.
Pink Polka Dot Plant
Polka dots are not only a bold fashion choice but an adorable plant profile as well. If your Valentine adores pink and polka dots, this plant is perfect for them. The plant needs bright indirect light and water when the soil is halfway dry.
These are the best plants to give to your biophilic Valentine this year. You both get to admire the colorful houseplants and work on them as you work on your love to watch them both grow and bloom. Happy Valentine’s Day!
