Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and we are feeling love in the air! And what could be more romantic and fancy than those classic yet stunning roses? Yes, you may buy a rose bouquet and give that as a gift, but after a few days or weeks, these will wither and perish. So how about you give them something lasting to love and nurture?

Potted Rose Bunch

Roses have been a traditional gift for Valentine's Day, symbolizing intense love. A potted rosebush is an even more special gift as it lasts indefinitely. Furthermore, as spring is just around the corner, your loved one can plant the rosebush outside to enjoy its beautiful blooms every year. This makes it one of the most thoughtful and enduring plant gifts you can give.

Lavender

Lavender is often recognized for its attractive purple flowers and pleasant aroma, as well as its use in floral teas. However, it's also a great choice as a romantic gift. If your special someone is looking forward to spring, a potted lavender plant will be a welcome addition to their home as the colourful season approaches.

Taking care of lavender is straightforward, requiring only occasional watering and placement in a well-lit area for sustained freshness in the home for months to come.

Hoya 

If you're looking for a way to impress your significant other and convey your love, the sweetheart cactus, also known as the Hoya plant, is a perfect choice. Nicknamed the "Valentine Plant," its waxy, heart-shaped appearance makes it the ideal plant for this romantic holiday. If your partner has a fondness for cute and quirky items, they will surely be delighted to receive a sweetheart cactus for their own home.

Orchid

An orchid plant is a must-have for any plant enthusiast! With its delicate and soft-coloured petals, it's impossible not to be captivated by its beauty. It's also the perfect plant for any occasion centred around love, as the colour of its blooms can convey romantic messages.

Fortunately, caring for orchids is quite simple. Just place the potted plant in a bright corner and provide it with enough water to thrive. Since orchids are tropical plants, they need a bit more humidity, but a daily misting of the blooms should suffice to mimic a humid environment for indoor orchids.

Heart Leaf Philodendron

Heart leaf philodendron is one of the simplest indoor plants to cultivate, able to flourish in most environments. Its fast growth makes it an ideal gift for those with no prior experience in plant care.

The plant features glossy, heart-shaped leaves that create a romantic display when hung from a planter or placed on a table. This adorable showpiece is sure to delight any recipient.

Anthurium

The Anthurium, with its red, white, or pink flowers, embodies luxury. These are distinctive, vibrant indoor plants that have glossy and colourful blooms. You can come across them in shades of red, white, or even pink, making them ideal for adding a touch of romance to your space as they resemble a heart.

As Anthuriums come from tropical regions, it's essential to maintain a warm and humid environment for them. In case your recipient lives in a dry climate, putting them in the bathroom would be a great idea. Don't forget to water them twice a week to ensure they grow optimally.
