Valentine’s day is just right around the corner — which means you should be thinking about what gifts to give to your valentine. If you’ve been thinking of a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers, consider a potted houseplant that will thrive well beyond the holiday instead.

Any of these options on our list of romantic plant gifts for Valentine’s will be well received if your sweetheart loves having pots of nature around their home. Plus, a houseplant can serve as a comforting and loving reminder of your sentiments for years after. Read on to see what options you have from Unbeleafable PH!

Aglaonema Katrina

A gift with a bold red color doesn’t have to come in the form of roses! The Aglaonema Katrina is a showy variation of the Aglaonema, with predominantly red leaves streaked with pink, green, and silver.

The Aglaonema Katrina will make a vibrant and colorful addition to your valentine’s home. Plus, they’re a very easy-going plant to maintain — they’re perfectly suited for spaces like the bedroom, office, and living room. This is because they tolerate both humid and dry conditions, as well as low-light areas. This can be helpful if your valentine tends to be a forgetful plant parent.

Anthurium

Another bold choice on our list, the Anthurium is a flowering houseplant that exudes an attractive and exotic feel. This plant features large heart-shaped leaves, and a vibrant flower spathe in white, tinged in delicate pink.

If you decide on an Anthurium as your gift, your sweetheart will appreciate that this plant will keep and produce flowers through the majority of the year. Plus, they’ll maintain their flowers and attractive appearance with relatively little maintenance. All these plants need is some clipping when their flowers wilt, some bright and indirect sunlight, and the occasional watering when their soil dries out.

Dwarf Sunflower

Want to brighten up your sweetheart’s day? Get them some dwarf sunflowers — available in our Buy One Take One Promo this February! These flowering plants have incredible versatility and thrive in both indoor and outdoor spots, so your valentine can plant them wherever they please.

All they need is lots of sunlight, and moderate watering to grow well. This sunflower variety can only grow up to 2 feet tall but has large flowers and bushy growth, so they’ll look great in a planter or flower box! Plus, it’ll produce seeds that your valentine can use to grow more and more flowers. With the right care, the dwarf sunflower’s vivid yellow blooms will liven up any space in no time at all.

Heartleaf Philodendron

What better gift to give this holiday than something shaped like a heart? The Heartleaf Philodendron is a beautiful vining plant — and often called the “sweetheart” plant because of its cute and lovable leaves.

A Heartleaf Philodendron gift will be perfect at home in a hanging basket, and will quickly grow charming trails of hearts dangling downwards. To make this gift look especially lovely, make sure they’re placed in bright indirect light, their soil is kept moist — but not damp — and their leaves are wiped occasionally to remove dust and dirt.

Jade Plant

Jade plants are evergreen succulents with cute and small coin-shaped leaves. This plant will not only be an eye-pleasing gift — but it’ll also be a meaningful one. In feng shui, a Jade plant promotes good energy not just for finance, but also for relationships. More specifically, the leaves promote positivity and joy in the relationship, while the flowers represent the fragrance of the relationship.

To generate good vibes between you and your valentine, make sure this plant grows well. It doesn’t require frequent watering — they’re designed for drought conditions, so they’re sensitive to water. It will also need some direct sunlight, but be careful not to burn the leaves, which will turn dark red with too much sun. Finally, feng shui practices say that the best size for this plant is no taller than three feet — so it may need some pruning.

Lavender

Maybe your valentine needs some serious de-stressing this month — in that case, some Lavender plants will be the perfect gift for them! This herb is popular for its fragrant and relaxing aroma. Plus, this plant gift symbolizes relaxation, comfort, grace, and devotion, making it a meaningful romantic gift.

Lavender plants will grow easily in most conditions but will flourish under full sunlight and warm temperatures. Make sure its soil is well-draining to avoid overwatering them, and only water new lavender once or twice a week at most — reduce frequency when the plant grows older.

Rose Cabbage

Succulents are a super trendy, manageable plant — so why not give a succulent plant to your special someone this year? These plants come in many stunning shapes and colors, but the best one for Valentine’s day has to be the Rose Cabbage.

A gorgeous green succulent, the Rose Cabbage is shaped like its namesake and looks similar to a vibrant flower. These succulents are extremely tolerant and live long, which makes them the ideal symbol of enduring love.

One thing to note about this plant’s care is that they like water a bit more than most other succulents do. This makes it an ideal plant for beginner plant parents as they tolerate damp soil more than other succulents.

Key Takeaway

Houseplants are a great gift for any occasion. These romantic plant gifts for Valentine’s day can express your sentiments as much as flowers can, and are just as showy and attractive. Each option on this list is easy to care for and will outlast a bouquet, so your special someone can enjoy your gift for years.
