In Cupid’s month, love needs care and…plants with heart-shaped leaves
This year, let’s step away from the usual clichés of chocolates and teddy bears. Instead, opt for a thoughtfully chosen gift that not only brings joy but is also kind to the environment. A live plant is a beautifully romantic gesture that even nature will appreciate.
To ensure your gift stands out and makes a lasting impression, consider these three key criteria:
- Unique and Unconventional: Choose something that breaks away from standard gifts and avoids the usual clichés.
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Select a gift that reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.
- Long-Lasting and Memorable: Pick a gift that will endure and serve as a lasting reminder of this year’s Valentine’s Day.
A potted plant is a perfect metaphor for love—vibrant, romantic, nurturing, and, most importantly, enduring. Here are some of our favourite options:
Sweetheart Hoya
This heart-shaped succulent plant is an obvious declaration of love and will undoubtedly convey the message very clearly to the recipient. Small and perfectly formed – as only a romantic beginning of a relationship can be.
Strings of Hearts
A message of love needs to be completed by a hearty plant. The bizarre elegance of this succulent is striking and you find yourself at a loss – are those drooping tendrils heart-shaped leaves, or are they purple-gray pearls? Whatever it is, it takes close inspection to appreciate its finesse.
Scindapsus Pictus
Who wouldn’t fall in love with this plant’s heart-shaped leaves crossed with grey vines? And just like your dearest person, Scindapsus Pictus is not only good-looking, but very easy to get along with.
Scindapsus Neon
Well known for its lime colour and ease of care, Scindapsus Aureus will make the heart beat faster than a bouquet of roses. Green, lush, tropical – that’s how the atmosphere is installed in the house with this plant.
Be creative! Marble Prince is another common variety of pothos. Green leaves with a visible heart-shaped outline and streaked with a creamy white will have the intended effect.
All the plants listed above can be viewed in the Floral Soul online catalogue with the option of home delivery or you can visit us at the Orangery on M. Kogălniceanu Street 54, where we house all the plants in stock.
We’re here to help you choose the gift that best communicates your feelings because plants need love and love needs plants with heart-shaped leaves.
