Each of these botanical treasures carries a message of love and appreciation that your loved one surely deserves this Valentine’s Day.

Calla Lily: A Trumpet of Love

With its graceful elegance and timeless beauty, the Calla Lily stands as a symbol of purity, devotion, and new beginnings, making it the perfect houseplant to express your love and admiration this Valentine’s Day. Its pure ambiance can be traced back centuries as the Calla Lily was and still is synonymous with the Virgin Mary, Jesus’ resurrection, and usually blooms around Easter time. The Calla Lily wears a spectrum of colors from white to red to velvet and pink.

Temperature: 60-80°F
Watering: Water when soil is slightly dry but don’t overdose as they dislike soggy soil
Exposure: Full sun to partial shade – indirect lighting is ideal



 
Orchids: Flowering in Love

Symbolizing love, fertility, thoughtfulness and charm, Orchids are an obvious choice when surprising your special someone. With its diverse range of colors, shapes, and sizes, there’s an Orchid variety to suit every taste and preference, allowing you to select the perfect bloom that resonates with your beloved. Not to mention that the Orchid is a stubborn plant lasting for several months and will continue to bloom every year. Orchids are also renowned as cosmopolitan plants that are found in almost every habitat on Earth, so even if you or your loved one is a plant novice, you are sure to love caring for this resilient plant together.

Temperature: 65-75°F
Watering: Water/mist regularly, preferably with filtered water rather than tap water

Cyclamen: Sowing Love

Cyclamen makes a wonderful indoor plant, brightening up any indoor space with its vibrant hues of white, pink, lavender and red. Its graceful, heart-shaped leaves and intricate blooms evoke feelings of warmth and intimacy, creating a captivating display symbolizing the depth of love. Similar to the Calla Lily, the Cyclamen has represented the language of love for centuries. In Mediterranean cultures, Cyclamens are symbols of devotion, sincerity, love, and affection and are traditionally planted in churches and monasteries.

Temperature: 60-65°F
Watering: Once every week and roughly every ten days during Winter

Tulips: A Timeless Classic

The timeless beauty of Tulips exudes elegance and charm. With their vibrant hues and graceful blooms, Tulips symbolize love, passion, and romance, making them an ideal houseplant to convey your affection on Valentine’s Day. Historically, Tulips have been associated with the spring season symbolizing renewal and rebirth. In Turkish culture, red tulips are said to represent perfect love. Whether presented in a bouquet or potted plant, tulips never fail to captivate the heart.

Temperature: 32-55°F
Watering: Soil must be well-drained as Tulips will not tolerate staying wet
