Mother’s Day Plants That Say “Thanks for Helping Me Grow”
Read in: 2 min
Flowers are sweet. Brunch is great. But if you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift that lasts longer than a bouquet and brings a little extra life into her home, a plant is the move.
Whether your mom is already a plant pro or someone who just loves a cozy space, gifting greenery is a meaningful way to say “I love you” and “thank you for everything”—without sounding cheesy (okay, maybe a little cheesy).
Here are some of our favorite Mother’s Day plants that feel personal, beautiful, and totally gift-worthy.
For the Sentimental Mom: Hoya ‘Krimson Queen’
With soft pinks, creamy whites, and trailing vines that bloom with little star-shaped flowers, this plant brings the charm. It’s sweet, it’s graceful, and it only gets better with time—kind of like her.
For the Low-Maintenance Queen: ZZ Plant
Busy moms need plants that won’t beg for attention. The ZZ plant is resilient, sculptural, and thrives on near-neglect. It still looks polished no matter how hectic life gets—which is kind of a power move in itself.
For the One Who Raised You on Beauty: Calathea ‘Dottie’
Velvety, deep burgundy leaves with hot pink outlines? Yes please. This one brings a little drama in the best way and makes a stunning statement on any table or shelf. Pet-safe, too.
For the New Plant Mom: Pilea Peperomioides
Round, coin-like leaves and easy-going vibes. It’s adorable, easy to care for, and sends out little baby “pups” you can propagate and share—just like she shared everything with you growing up.
For the Garden Mom Who’s Out of Room Outside: Monstera ‘Adansonii’
Also known as the Swiss Cheese Plant, this trailing beauty brings that wild outdoor vibe indoors. Fast-growing, full of character, and a little on the adventurous side—perfect for moms who like their plants (and their kids) a little unconventional.
For the Pet Mom: Calathea ‘Freddie’ or Peperomia ‘Watermelon’
Both are non-toxic and full of personality. Whether her “babies” have paws or not, she deserves greenery that keeps everyone in the house safe and thriving.
