Heart-shaped bamboo plant

Valentine’s Day is right around the bend, and if you’re looking for a unique way to tell your loved ones you care without the traditional bouquet of roses, 1-800-Flowers has got you covered.

The online floral giant is selling its Sweet Heart Bamboo, a heart-shaped bamboo plant that will last much longer than any fresh floral arrangement and make for a truly special gift for the plant lover in your life.

The plant’s live bamboo stalks have been trained into the shapes of hearts, and there are plenty of options available depending on your budget. You can score a single heart-shaped bamboo plant for just $34.99, a double for $44.99, or a triple for $54.99. Each plant comes in a glass cube planter paired with decorative stones.

Indoor bamboo plants (known as “lucky bamboo”) make for a perfect no-dirt, no-fuss option for those who want a gorgeous and long-lasting pop of green in their homes. Requiring a fresh change of water every couple of weeks and indoor temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees, ProFlowers notes that if kept in a decorative vase, your bamboo will thrive for one to two years. If transferred to soil and cared for properly, it can live for several years, making this gift a solid choice for that special person in your life who doesn’t mind a little plant TLC and would love this pick for years to come.
