Philodendron Heartleaf
With glossy, heart-shaped leaves that gracefully trail on long stems, the fast-growing Philodendron Heartleaf is a wonderful way to signify your ever-growing love. This vining plant and its adorable green leaves can be placed on a shelf or windowsill and is a great way to display your affection for your loved one.
This philodendron is native to Africa and the Canary Islands. It is incredibly forgiving and can tolerate low light and a missed watering here and there, making it an easy plant for a first-time plant parent. So whether the recipient is a beginner or has a green thumb already, the Philodendron Heartleaf is an enchanting and low-maintenance gift for your loved one.
Red Anthurium
The glossy green leaves and brilliant red blooms of the Red Anthurium make it the perfect present to share your passion. Known to bring good luck to relationships, the bright red bracts of this anthurium can persist on the plant for months. The plant will consistently produce new flowers and will bring a cheerful and tropical vibe to your space.
Originally found in areas of the Andes Mountain range in Columbia and Ecuador, these beauties enjoy a warm sunny spot with bright, indirect light. Not picky about a watering schedule, the Red Anthurium appreciates a deep soak when 50% of the soil volume has dried out.
Bromeliad Aechmea Pink
There’s nothing that can quite compare to the gleaming silver leaves and striking pink blooms of this stately bromeliad, making it the perfect token to show your affection. With a uniquely whimsical bloom, the Bromeliad Aechmea Pink showcases silver-green leaves and baby pink flowers that can stay in bloom for over half a year.
Native to Brazil, bromeliads grow on trees as epiphytes, absorbing most of their nutrients through their leaves. Your bromeliad will thrive in a spot with medium to bright indirect sunlight. Watering is easy: the soil only needs a drink when it’s completely dry, and the “vase” in the center of the leaves should be occasionally filled with water.
