Fresh flowers are a classic Valentine's Day gift and are always appreciated, but if you want to show your love or friendship in a different way, give a Valentine’s Day plant that’s not a bouquet.
Gifting a unique houseplant for Valentine’s Day is a thoughtful and lasting way to celebrate those we love, and because there are lots of beautiful, vibrant houseplants to choose from, you’re sure to find a match for your Valentine’s green thumb.
Some plants to consider for Valentine's Day gifts include Anthurium, Azaleas, Bromeliads, Calla Lilies, Cyclamen, Jasmine, Kalanchoe, and orchids are among our favorites.
Anthurium does best in a room where they’ll receive bright, indirect light and the temperature is around 70 degrees.
Like anthurium, Azaleas do best in a room where they’ll receive bright, indirect light and the temperature is around 65° to 70°.
Most species of Bromeliad can tolerate low-light conditions, making them an excellent choice for indoor gardens.
Growing Calla Lilies in containers isn’t difficult if you keep them in a bright room where the temperature is around 70°.
Cyclamen do well in bright, indirect light and cooler temperatures.
Jasmine plants have beautiful, scented flowers, a great addition to an indoor garden in winter.
Kalanchoe will do well in the low humidity of most houses this time of year. Place them in a bright room, out of direct sunlight.
Orchids need bright, indirect light. An east-facing window would be an ideal location. West and south-facing locations will work, if you keep the orchid out of direct sun. Use water that is room temperature and avoid watering the center of the plant. Always water in the morning and avoid letting your plant sit in water
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.
