When it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts, a bouquet of flowers might be the obvious choice, but indoor plants can also be surprisingly alluring and heartfelt to your special someone — especially if they possess that green thumb! And much like ideal relationships, with the correct amount of love and care, it’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Plant-lovers or not might be interested in this list of indoor plants for valentines day to give to your special someone. You’re in luck because this article will provide you with a list of the top plants to give as Valentine’s Day gifts, along with maintenance tips to keep your significant other and the new plant with proper care.

Anthurium Laceleaf

The Anthurium Laceleaf‘s flowers in red, white, or pink are the embodiment of luxury. The waxy (detractors would say plastic-looking) blooms are made of a heart-shaped spathe—a kind of modified leaf that surrounds a flower cluster—and a distinctly phallic central spadix.

The Anthurium Laceleaf plant is also very low maintenance. It can easily be repotted by adding peat moss or a soil blend based on coco coir, supplying bright, indirect sunlight, and letting the soil partially dry out between waterings. Be patient with it if you find that the leaf is green rather than the color you were expecting (red or pink). This could just be a new sprout.

Wandering Jew

Also known as Purple Queen and Spiderwort, the Wandering Jew does best in bright but indirect sun. You might relate this plant to your significant other, with charming yet intriguing leaves that attract everyone. Gift them a pot of this sophisticated plant and they will surely love it.

Keep the soil evenly moist (but not soggy) at all times. They need plenty of water, but make sure to drain out of the pot. Wandering jew plants will survive occasional overwatering, but it’s best to avoid letting the plant sit in water for an extended period of time. It can absorb a lot of water if you water them from the bottom rather than the top. Fill the plant tray or cache pot with water and let the plant absorb it through the holes in the bottom of the pot to water from the bottom.

Dwarf Sunflower

Sunflowers symbolize unwavering faith and unconditional love. If you want to let your loved one know just how much you admire them, this is the ideal message to give. But instead of a bouquet of sunflowers, why not give full-grown Dwarf Sunflowers? Sunflowers, particularly those grown on farms, are frequently seen reaching their tall stalks and colorful petals toward the sun in photographs. They are seen as quite huge but Dwarf Sunflower is just the perfect size to put in their room for them always to remember you.

The best soil for dwarf sunflower growth is one that is light, nutrient-rich, and well-draining. Make some drainage openings at the bottom of containers while growing plants in them. It’s essential to remember that because of their shorter and extra coarse root systems compared to other types, they are unlikely to penetrate the soil too deeply.

Variegated Peace Lily

Each leaf on this resilient and simple-to-grow plant is covered with white spots that look painted by an artist. The Variegated Peace Lily is an artsy indoor plant, suitable for your significant other who has a taste for uniqueness. An excellent way to decorate any room and show your love indoors.

Use room-temperature water to thoroughly water the variegated peace lily. Prior to adding more water, let the soil dry up. Use cool water to mist the leaves three times per week. The variegated peace lily is a tropical plant that thrives in moist, humid environments. Use a damp sponge to wipe the foliage to get rid of any dust or dirt.

Calathea Dottie

The previous ones are for classy and sophisticated types of plants but we also have plants for dark and mysterious vibes lovers. With her gorgeous black and pink leaves, Calathea Dottie is like a gothic member of the Calathea family. If you know someone who has the same taste, this is the perfect gift for them!

Calathea prefers a location with a lot of humidity, as many tropical indoor plants do. If leaves start to curl or turn brown, give them a regular misting of lukewarm water, add a pebble tray, or put a humidifier close by. Due to the higher humidity levels in these rooms, your bathroom or kitchen are ideal locations for your Calathea.

Key Takeaway

There are many surprises and gifts you can plan and give your loved ones but indoor plants for valentines day are a game changer. Nothing is a genuine gift when someone can cherish it and make it grow. It’s essential not to be intimidated to take care of indoor plants despite their delicate reputation. Just get to know the plant and learn how to take care of its individuality. Just like your special someone–it deserves time, care, and love.
