It’s that time of year again, and we wanted to take a moment to show some plants that we think would be the perfect gift for a plant mum, something that grows over time with love and care. The perfect Mother’s Day gift.

Begonia maculata​

Begonia maculata is known for its beautifully spotted leaves and deep red undersides. This is a remarkably easy plant to care for and features a unique pattern that draws the eye; it is bold and adds character to any space.
It is often called the polka dot begonia and has become a favourite in modern houseplant styling.
They thrive in bright, indirect light.

Ceropegia woodii​

Ceropegia woodii, also known as the string of hearts, is a personal favourite as it is one of the most forgiving plants. It is a succulent vine with delicate heart-shaped leaves. It can be shaped using grow poles as well as propagated with ease to grow even more.
It is drought-tolerant and easy to care for.
