No one can deny that Father’s Day is as important an excuse as any to surprise him with something special that he won’t soon forget. You may have the usual ideas up your sleeve, like a bottle of his favorite cologne, a home-cooked meal (winner!), or another tie to add to his collection.
While these are all thoughtful gestures, few surprises rival the meaning and beauty of plants. Some also offer the promise of longevity, making them especially poignant. Whether for your dad or the man who is an exceptional father to your kids, these plants are sure to bring a smile to his face.
Melati Succulent Bowl
Succulents are quite obviously elegant, but there’s something else that they have going for them: they are extremely low maintenance. Their fleshy leaves contain the moisture they need to thrive and look their best, and these plants even work overtime to improve air quality in the home.
It doesn’t hurt that many varieties, including the Melati Succulent Bowl, are incredibly attractive, too. Featuring an array of mixed succulents nestled in a sturdy ceramic bowl, it makes a naturally beautiful addition to his office or living space (and it will thrive with little to no effort on his part, so no green thumb is required!).
Raven ZZ Plant – Medio
Whether he takes his environmental responsibilities seriously or he just appreciates anything that can benefit his surroundings in more ways than one, he’s certain to love the Raven ZZ Plant – Medio. Simple at a glance, its rich, glossy leaves lend his space an eye-catching touch.
That’s not the only reason to love the popular ZZ plant, though. While Dad may not realize that it’s an Instagram darling, the truth is that millions of people favor this plant for its low-maintenance needs and ability to tolerate minimal light situations. Another benefit? The ZZ plant is a natural air purifier, pulling contaminants such as carbon dioxide and formaldehyde from the air.
Untamed Zebra Haworthia
For the dad, who’s a bit of a minimalist yet still appreciates all of the finer things, the Untamed Zebra Haworthia is likely to be what pleases him the most on Father’s Day. Who can resist this micro version of the popular succulent? Not unlike the aloe plant, they feature long, distinctive, cone-shaped leaves. This particular version is an obvious standout thanks to its unique and charming zebra planter. Made with durable ceramic, it promises to stand the test of time — and there’s a certain endearing quality about the little animal, especially when you envision Dad perching it on his desktop or by his bedside.
Soleil
Flowers are always a lovely idea — and Dad will love this arrangement that brims with joy, happiness, good cheer, and your best wishes for him. It’s fittingly called Soleil, and there’s no better way to express the sunny disposition of this radiant medley of roses, cymbidium orchids, and calla lilies.
This unforgettable bouquet is perfect not just for Father’s Day but also for his birthday or when you want to wish him luck on a new chapter in his life, be it retirement, the arrival of a new grandchild, or a milestone birthday. The excuses to give flowers are endless, and he’ll appreciate the gesture every time (especially when the stems look this good).
Medium Taliah Shade Garden
If Dad’s someone who has an innate appreciation for Mother Nature’s gifts, he’ll be mesmerized when he sets his sights on the Medium Taliah Shade Garden. This exquisitely designed piece evokes an artisanal quality thanks to its wild fern plant set adjacent to a chunk of earthy white birch bark on a bed of moss.
He’ll love how it lends any space in his home or workplace an interesting focal point, much like a bouquet or a water feature might. This is just as distinctive and eye-catching thanks to its stylish design. Plus, it borders on ultra-low maintenance, requiring only a touch of water when the soil becomes dry. Otherwise, it handles low-light conditions nicely.
Give Dad a Great Green Gift!
If you’re ready to wow Dad for this special occasion, you won’t find a better surprise than a plant. They’re attractive, meaningful, and perfect for leaving a memorable impression.
