Let Love Grow This Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is such a wonderful reminder of the relationships in our lives that we treasure. Whether you’re celebrating with your significant other or your closest friends, it’s fun to get creative with gift giving. Houseplants have been proven to have positive health benefits and clean the air in your home, naturally. This Valentine’s Day, let love grow with these indoor plants for those you cherish.
Orchids - Do you have a friend or loved one who recently moved into a new space? Orchids are a beautiful flower that also rid the air of xylene, a pollutant found in many glues and paints, so they make wonderful housewarming gifts. Orchids also respire and give off oxygen at night so they’re great for keeping in the bedroom.
Hoya
When these succulents bloom, they produce a wonderful, sweet smell! The Hoya Kerrii variety is shaped like a heart – perfect for a Valentine’s Day gift.
Snake Plant - These plants, also known as Mother’s in Law’s Tongue, are sharp-leafed plants that thrives in low light. These also give off oxygen at night providing a clean, great night’s sleep when kept in a bedroom. Also great for bathrooms that tend to get less light.
Aloe – A practical plant that has many uses, you can’t go wrong when gifting aloe. If you have a mother or nurse in your life, this plant is the perfect fit. Useful for healing cuts and burns, aloe has many medical + household uses.
Ferns - Ferns are adaptable to many environments and bring in a beautiful touch of green to any space! They should be in bright indirect sunlight.
Spider Plants – Despite the name, these plants make for a perfect gift, especially for plant novices. They reproduce quickly and will eventually sprout plantlets-hence its arachnid inspired name. Place near a sunlit window for best results. These are also non-toxic, so they’re ideal for your animal loving family and friends.
Pothos -This fast-growing vine has a reputation for flexibility. You can pot it with something to support it, put it in a hanging basket, or train it to climb a trellis.
