Whilst flowers still remain one of the most popular Valentines Day gift, we take a look at why houseplants are the perfect gift for a loved one. Whether you are gifting your best mate or boyfriend on Valentines Day, houseplants really show someone you care.


  1. A VARIETY TO SUIT EVERY PERSONALITY.


    From a beautiful flowering Orchid to a strikingly patterned Calathea, there are so many plants to suit the person you are gifting. Not only in looks, but if your Valentine is a sun worshipper, a cactus is perfect sunbathing companion & will take care of itself whilst they go on holiday.


  2. houseplants can have a deeper meaning.


    If you are looking for more symbolism in a gift, then look no further. There are so many houseplants that represent different things, from wealth & fortune in a Chinese Money Plant, to Positive Energy in a Snake Plant. Find the one that suits your Valentine perfectly.

  3. they are sustainable.


    Is your Valentine a bit of an eco-warrior? Houseplants are not only longer lasting than cut flower, but get the care right & they could be around for decades. Not only that, but you can propagate for gifts to give to others to further spread the love this season.

  4. giving the gift of health.


    What says “I Love You” more than gifting someone with a houseplant that will literally improve the air they breath?! Snake plants & Peace Lilies are a great example of plants that improve our air by removing toxins.
