Mother’s Day is the perfect time to say thank you with a thoughtful, living gift. Flowers are a classic, but why not go one step further and give a gift that keeps on giving?
Whether your mum has a green thumb or not, we’ve rounded up the top 10 plants to gift this Mother’s Day — all beautiful, low-maintenance, and perfect for brightening up any home.
Peace Lily
A timeless favourite, the Peace Lily is elegant and air-purifying. It survives in low light or can handle lower light than most tropical plants and only needs occasional watering — making it one of the best indoor plants for busy mums.
Monstera Deliciosa
This Instagram-famous plant is loved for its bold, tropical vibes. Monstera is easy to care for and adds a lush statement to any room.
Snake Plant (Draceana)
Hard to kill and stylish to boot, the Snake Plant is perfect for beginners. It needs very little water and grows happily in most light conditions.
Orchid
Orchids make a stunning and sophisticated gift. With the right light and watering routine, they can bloom for weeks. A great way to show appreciation.
Devil’s Ivy (Pothos)
Fast-growing and forgiving, Devil’s Ivy is ideal for hanging baskets or trailing along shelves. It's one of the easiest houseplants to grow.
ZZ Plant
Tough, glossy, and tolerant of low light, the ZZ Plant is another near-indestructible choice that looks great in modern interiors.
Lavender
Want to bring the outdoors in? Lavender smells amazing, reduces stress, and thrives on minimal watering — does require heaps of sunlight though.
Anthurium
With its heart-shaped flowers and vibrant colours, Anthuriums are a unique, tropical gift that lasts longer than any bouquet.
Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica)
Rubber Plants are striking and grow into beautiful indoor trees over time. They need bright, indirect light and only need to be watered once their soil is dry.
Spider Plant
Pet-friendly and super adaptable, the Spider Plant works in all kinds of spaces and even produces baby plants to share or re-pot.
