If you really want to make a point about commitment this Valentines Day, we have the perfect gift idea for you – ditch the cut flowers this year and get your special person a living, breathing, romantically-leafed plant that you can both cherish for months (and hopefully years!) to come.
There’s a lovely heart-shaped leaf variety for everyone, from cute and compact to full-blown statement plants – check out a few of our favourites below.
Chain of Hearts
These subtle silver lockets will look incredible all year ‘round, with their delicate trails growing up to 3-4m. Pop in a basket or pot and place up high on a shelf or stair for maximum visual impact.
Anthurium
This striking beauty will be sure to make a lasting impression. Can generally be grown both indoors or out in indirect sunlight.
Heart-leaf Philodendron
Another gorgeous hanging plant, the Heart-leafed Philodendron is easy to take care of and adds a lovely, soft touch of green to any room. Keep out of direct sunlight.
Sweetheart Hoya
Should be called the “no-brainer” Hoya. This succulent is heart-shaped and, like real love, practically impossible to kill.
Heart Leaf Fern
A classic low-maintenance indoor plant with deep green heart-shaped leaves.
Philodendron Gloriosum
There’s an old saying: You can’t go wrong with a philodendron.
More plants, more of the time, we say – especially on Valentines Day. Head down to your closest local plant nursery and pick up something nice for your special one.
