Plants that are Perfect for Valentine’s Day
Hoya Plant
Also known as the Sweetheart Plant, this little succulent has perfectly heart-shaped leaves. You can often buy a single leaf in a pot that looks like a green heart, that will last a long time! If you find a full Hoya Plant, the many heart-shaped leaves are something to behold!
String of Hearts
This trailing plant has little flat, heart-shaped leaves that cascade out of the pot. Perfect for your valentine in a hanging pot or basket.
Pink plant varieties
Did you know you can get house plants that have pink foliage?! There are variations of more well-known plants, like the Rubber Plant that have pink leaves (try the ‘Ficus Ruby’ variety), or also certain ones that naturally have pink foliage like Cordylines. Read all about it here.
Cascading Philodendron
Like the String of Hearts, Philodendrons are a cascading plant that look great hanging up or on a shelf. Their leaves are a bigger heart-shape and the varieties you can get have light green, dark green or a mixture of foliage tones. There’s also a variety with pink leaves!
Have you decided on a romantic pot plant for your Valentine?
