Mother’s Day Plants FAQs

What plants symbolize Mother’s Day?

Although flowers such as carnations are traditionally symbolic of Mother’s Day, there are many plants with a Mother’s Day connection. Orchids, for example, symbolize fertility. Tulips represent comfort, which mothers try to provide for their children.

What is a good Mother's Day plant to gift?

If you’re giving a Mother’s Day plant as a gift, it’s best to find one that both represents the relationship you have with your mother and fits her particular tastes. For example, gifting a Mother’s Day tulip garden would be a great way to express the deep love you have for her and, at the same time, bring a shock of springtime color to her home or garden.

On the other hand, if you’re sending a Mother’s Day plant to a mom who doesn’t have a green thumb, it may be best to get a plant that’s simple and easy to care for, such as a succulent or pothos plant.

Orchids are another popular choice for Mother’s Day. Available in a variety of colors, orchids bloom for a long time with minimal care. First-time moms are busy women. Place an orchid in indirect sunlight, place an ice cube on it every week so water can seep into the soil and enjoy this lovely plant.
