We agree that placing an annual bouquet -order for Mom’s Day is easy. But just because it’s tough to beat the convenience of delivered-to-her-doorstep blooms at the click of a button, doesn’t mean it’s the best gifting option available. This year we’re recommending that the flower-fatigued gifters (and giftees) of the world shake things up on May 12 by gifting a top-selling plant instead — because while stem-cut blossoms wither, potted-plants survive and thrive.
On top of a lengthier gift-lifespan, the leafy green goods also come in a wide variety of species, shapes, sizes, and care-levels that make them easily customizable to match your mom’s personality quirks and lifestyle habits. Taking this vast sea of options into account, we crafted a streamlined shop-guide of ten top-selling plants that are already R29 audience-approved to help with making your Mother’s Day gifting-decision. Scroll on for the beautiful blooming succulents to quartz-potted air plants, cacti gardens, and more that our readers purchased [and our moms will love] most.
Be sure to stop by our Plant Lady Shop for more gifting guidance on the most stylish greenery goods.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
