Phalaenopsis in pink ombre pot (£24.99), Orchids are the epitome of elegance and make a fabulous gift. Known for its longevity and stunning flowers, they’re the perfect way to add a touch of sophistication to any space.
Claire adds: “Orchids make a statement in any room with their graceful beauty and are a great gift choice as they continue to flower and thrive with minimal care.
“To reach their full potential and produce multiple displays of flowers within a year, simply water whenever the potting mix has fully dried out and keep in a warm spot between 16-29°C.”
Vibrant Roses
Rosa Gigi (£8.99);Rosa Pia (£8.99)
For a burst of colour, Claire recommends the Rosa Gigi (£8.99) or Rosa Pia (£8.99). She explains: “These plants are delightful options for gifting, adding a touch of warmth to any space with their vibrant hues.
“Both varieties thrive in full sun and require around six hours of sunlight per day. Keep the soil moist, especially during hot weather, but make sure it’s well-drained to avoid root rot.
“Indoor Roses are easy to care for and offer an array of beautiful flowers, making them ideal for busy mums who prefer a hassle-free gift that will last beyond the season.”
Show mum you care with Hydrangeas
Hydrangea Macrophylla, £14.99
For the mum who loves the beauty of the classic Hydrangea, Claire recommends a potted Hydrangea Macrophylla (£14.99), she explains: “Hydrangeas come in a variety of colours, from classic pinks and blues to elegant whites and purples.
“Known for their large, vibrant flowers, they make a stunning centrepiece or accent in any home, adding a pop of colour and life into a space.
“To care for Hydrangeas, place in bright, indirect light for the best results.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy, as they love a little extra hydration. Ideal temperatures are between 15°C and 24°C, so they’re perfect for your living room or dining table.”
