The month of February makes me feel like a little girl. Hearts, flowers, candies and more! My favorite part of February is the plants I will share with you, and I know these are 5 plants you will love!
African and Flame Violets, Roses, Tulips, String of Hearts, and Hoya-Kerrii. These plants are suited for February for many reasons, but they collectively have one thing in common; they symbolize love.
Roses are Red
You have heard roses are red before, I am sure. Roses symbolize love, especially red roses. Roses come in over 150 diverse types and thousands of hybrids. If there is a shade of color you can think of, there is a rose that color.
Roses are easy to love because they symbolize love, beauty, and romance; they also are fragrant and even hardy. The thing I love most about roses is their diversity. The rose symbolizes love around the world and across all cultures.
2.Violets are Blue
Sometimes Violets are blue, but violets, like roses, come in many colors and varieties. I have chosen my love of African and Flame Violets to share with you.
African and Flame violets both have fuzzy leaves and bloom most of the year. African violet blooms come in many colors, from blue, pink, purple, white, and burgundy.
Flame violet blooms are unique; unlike the African violet’s rounded or fluted 5-petal flowers, they are trumpet-shaped blooms. Flame violet’s blooms come in brighter colors, including red, orange, yellow, lavender, and white.
The African violet, like the rose, also symbolizes love. They are the symbol of strength, loyalty, devotion, and the deepest love commitment.
3.Try Tulips Instead
Sending tulips to your loved ones and friends this Valentine’s Day will last longer than February. Tulips are bulbs and can be planted outdoors and bloom all spring into summer long.
Tulips are also available in a wide variety of colors. Tulip bulbs can be planted in flower beds, gardens, and containers with other seasonal bulbs and enjoyed year after year.
Heart-Shaped Plants
The heart-shaped symbol represents love. What is more symbolic of love than two heart-shaped plants? That is why these plants are on my list of February favorites.
4. String of Hearts
The string of hearts is a plant I have looked for a while now. I finally found one in my local nursery a few months ago. I have seen thus far this plant is a lot like other succulents, needing minimal water. The string of hearts thrives best in bright, indirect lighting conditions. I placed mine a little closer to the grow light and have seen more growth.
The string of hearts has a long, vining growth habit making it a great hanging plant. My vision for this plant is to grow long enough to place it on a high shelf and let the vines of hearts flow down a wall to add visual art in my office.
5. Hoya-Kerrii
How can you not love this heart-shaped plant? This plant starts as one heart-shaped leaf and grows in a climbing vine, producing more heart-shaped leaves. I like the looks of Hoya-Kerrii climbing a trellis.
I have 2 Hoya-Kerrii plants; they are each only one leaf so far, babies. One is all green, and the other one has yellow stripes down either side. This one is called Hoya-Kerrii variegated. The distinct colors of Hoya-Kerrii plants’ leaves remind me of the variety you get in snake plants.
