Plants make people happy. They brighten our homes and offices, elevate our moods, help clean the air. Because there are lots of beautiful, vibrant houseplants to choose from, you’re sure to find a match for your Valentine’s green thumb. Houseplants will last long beyond February 14th.
Your valentine will think of you every time they water it and care for it. It’s like a little reminder of you sitting on their desk or on the windowsill.
Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to delight that special someone in your life. A live houseplant is a very personalized gift and will remind them of you long after Valentine's Day is over. Some plants to consider for Valentine's Day gifts include Gardenias, Cyclamen, Kalanchoe, Begonias, Anthurium and miniature roses.
Gardenias have beautiful, scented flowers and glossy green leaves. As houseplants, Gardenias do well at temperatures from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to give them lots of light and keep the soil moist.
Cyclamen plants enjoy bright, indirect light, cooler temperatures and like to be kept moist.
Kalanchoe will do well in the low humidity of most houses this time of year. They like to dry out a little between watering. Place them in a bright room, out of direct sunlight.
Rieger Begonias make perfect Valentine’s Day gifts. Place them where they will receive bright, indirect light. Water after the top two inches of soil dries out.
Anthurium will do best in a room where they’ll receive bright, indirect light and the temperature is around 70 degrees. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
Kordana roses are specially developed miniature roses that will do well indoors if you keep them in a window where they will receive morning sunlight and afternoon shade and away from drafts. These roses can be placed outside on the patio once summer arrives.
This year, celebrate Valentine's Day with something unique. With a little care these lovely houseplants will bloom for many weeks after Valentine's Day.
