We always spoil our Mums on Mother’s Day and not that they don’t deserve it they do, but lets not forget our Dads.. Don’t they need spoiling to? Getting that perfect gift for dad does not have to mean breaking the bank. Here are a few affordable Fathers Day plant gift ideas. We want to show you dad we care!
Guzmania : This striking bright red plant already planted in a matching red ceramic pot is perfect for dad. It is low maintenance you can even see the water held in its leaves to prevent you over or under watering it. Dad can just sit back and enjoy its beauty. Not a flowery plant so will suit the more masculine dad.
Scindapsus: For the dads that dont like to see any flowers what about a scindapsus. This plant is perfect for daddys office. It is happy with light to dark positions and an occasional sip of water. It is a survival plant. Strong like our dads.
Anthurium: Sticking with a masculine plant with the addition of a little colour, the anthurium is a popular plant. It comes in a number of colours, red, white, green, pink. Likes moderate sunshine and occasional watering. Dad can enjoy the waxy looking flowers when they appear. For something a little different why not go for a taller vase for this plant, which can double up as a vase for fresh flowers that you can bring in to dad on his birthday. Yes men like flowers too!
Orchid: While many think this is a plant more suited to the ladies. It is becoming increasingly popular with men also. There are so many colours and varieties and it has such a long flowering period that it is widely admired by both men and women. This plant is available all year round and is very low maintenance. A little water and sunshine will keep your plant blooming happily. This beautiful plant will make any daddy smile.
Rose Planter: What better than to get daddy a little rose plant from his little rose. A nice affordable plant. Plenty of pretty flowers, to brighten daddys day. This plant is very pretty either by itself or grouped with other roses. Suitable for any pot or planter, just ensure suitable drainage.
Why not let your little ones get creative with their daddys plant gifts. A simple quick addition is using a glittery hair slide, glued on to stick, placed down into the soil. It is a great way to create interest and use up any odd hair slides in the process. You can also let your little ones paint and decorate daddys pot with glitter, stickers etc. Surely daddy is not the only one allowed to have fun on Fathers Day.
