And whatโs more, if youโre not going to be seeing your mum in person on the big day you can send our green beauties directly to your mumโs door, complete with a gift note, handwritten by us on one of our bespoke TLB postcards.

What Makes Houseplants the Perfect Motherโs Day Gift?
Houseplants make the ultimate Motherโs Day presents because there are just so many to choose from. From hardy succulents to delicate floral friends, thereโs something for everyone โ even if that someone doesnโt realise she loves plants yet!
And did you know plants have a wealth of health benefits? They can improve the air quality around you, boost your mood, and add some calm to your home space, distracting you from the worries and stresses of everyday life.
Theyโre also an excellent way to give your home an interior refresh. Whether youโre redecorating or breathing new life into an old room, plants can make your home feel re-energised and renewed.
Thereโs more than meets the eye with the humble houseplant, which is why theyโre the perfect gift for Motherโs Day.
Our Pick of the Bunch
Lovingly handpicked by The Little Botanical team, get your (green) fingers on these botanical beauties this Motherโs Dayโฆ
The Calathea and Succulent Plant Gang
If your mum enjoys having her plants out on display, sheโll love showing off this leafy trio.
This plant gang is ideal for adding a touch of texture to the corner of a room or a dash of elegance to create an indoor jungle. Or, if your mum prefers, she can split them up and place them in different areas of her home.
The gorgeous Calathea plant is designed to take centre stage. Also known as the prayer plant, its leaves move up at dusk to look like praying hands. During the day, they open up again, allowing the plant to get as much light as possible.
And Calathea plant care couldnโt be easier. Just water it every seven days, checking the soil every now and then to make sure it doesnโt dry out. Given how easy it is to look after, itโs arguably the most popular type of Calathea.
The Calatheaโs two succulent friends complete the set with their cool tropical vibes. Planted in our bespoke soft pink and copper pots, theyโre super sweet and packed with character; just like your mum.
Calatheaย and Succulent Plant Gang
The Love Heart Succulent Gang
Share the love with our small but mighty mini succulent trio. With two heart-shaped succulents and a stunning pale purple Lilacina, this sweet selection is sure to put a smile on your mumโs face.
Not only do these lovely sweetheart succulents look great, but theyโre oh-so-easy to care for. All they need is a touch of water every two to three weeks, and theyโll be right as rain. Just try not to get them too wet, as this doesnโt make them very happy.
They also like sunlight, so tell your mum to pop them somewhere sunny if she can.
Our heart succulent gang will arrive at your mumโs door in our signature unglazed stoneware, making it a gorgeous ready-made gift she can enjoy for months to come.
