Why Plants Are the New Mother’s Day Favourite

What is the most popular Mother’s Day gift besides flowers?

The answer is simple: Living Gifts. Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and while a bouquet is a beautiful tradition, more and more people are looking for something that lasts a little longer. Indoor plants have become more popular than ever. They don’t just sit in a vase for a week; they grow, breathe life into a home, and serve as a lasting reminder of your love. Whether your mum is a seasoned “plant parent” or just starting her green journey, a potted plant is a thoughtful, eco-friendly alternative that keeps on giving.

Our Top Mother’s Day Gift Picks

We’ve curated a selection of our most loved plants that are guaranteed to make Mum smile:

Peace Lily: The ultimate “soul soother.” With its elegant white blooms and lush green leaves, it’s famous for its air-purifying qualities and resilience.

Anthurium Flamingo Flower: For the mum who loves a pop of colour! These heart-shaped, glossy red blooms stay vibrant for months, adding a tropical touch to any room.

Cyclamen: A winter favourite in Australia. These dainty, winged flowers thrive in cooler spots and bring a delicate, feminine charm to a bedside table or windowsill.

Mother-in-Law’s Tongue Sansevieria: Practically indestructible and architectural in style. It’s the perfect “set and forget” plant that looks stunning in any indoor space.

Succulent Bowl Arrangements: Perfect for the busy mum. These low-maintenance “mini gardens” are hardy, stylish, and look incredible as an outdoor centerpiece.

Customise your own Mother’s Day hamper

A plant is a beautiful start, but why not make it truly hers? Create a bespoke gift by pairing your chosen plant with our premium selection of treats to help Mum truly unwind:

1. Nothing sets the mood like an Urban Rituelle’s premium scented soy candle. Pair a fresh plant with their award-winning soy candles, or encourage a spa-day at home with their nourishing body wash and lotions. Infused with essential oils, it’s a little luxury she can enjoy every day.

2. We believe no gift is complete without a little sweetness. We are proud to stock Winnow Chocolates. Handcrafted in Sydney using the finest organic, fair-trade chocolate, they are almost too pretty to eat but far too delicious not to.

3. If Mum is worried about her “brown thumb,” give her the gift of confidence. We stock We The Wild Plant Care kits. Organic, Australian-made products that make plant care easy. A small drop of Grow Concentrate or a spray of Protect with neem oil will keep her new green friend thriving for years to come
