Forget the flowers this year, head to the plant shop for Valentine’s Day. Flowers are gorgeous, don't get me wrong. I live for a beautiful pink rose or a vibrant peony, but a plant is the way to go. 

Those flowers will last a week, maybe two if you have the magic hands. But plants continue to grow and flourish the same way your love should. So they're obviously the ideal Valentine's Day gift, especially for a plant lover. 

I love the message this "Celebrate Black Love" planter gives all year round!

Here's a list of 6 Valentine's Day plant gifts that say "I love you long time."

1. Heart-shaped Hoya – A vine-like succulent that requires full sun. I love these little Hoya hearts, but they are typically not easy to find.
2. String of Hearts – Perfect for hanging and needs partial sun.
3. Heartleaf Philodendron- a great gift for a new plant parents. Philodendrons are very low maintenance and forgiving. 
4. Cyclamen – Bright, indirect light.
5. Monstera Deliciosa – Bright, indirect sunlight 
6. A small pink rose plant (flowers and a plant) is readily available at Trader Joe’s, the grocery store, or your local garden center.

The plants are the main characters of course, but you can't forget the accessories!

These plant stools from AyvaAvery.com are perfect to complete this Plant Lover's gift.
