Looking for an original Father’s Day gift that your dad can enjoy for a long time? An Anthurium plant is the perfect choice. Not only do plants last longer than flowers, but you can also find one that perfectly matches your dad’s taste. Whether he loves something bold and large or prefers something more neutral and compact, there’s an Anthurium for everyone. Read on for 3 reasons why an Anthurium plant is the ideal Father’s Day gift!

An Anthurium plant for Father’s Day

Available in his favourite colour

Anthuriums come in a wide variety of colours, ranging from pure white to nearly black. There are also single-coloured Anthuriums, showcasing one vibrant shade, as well as multi-coloured varieties, where the spathe displays a stunning blend of hues. With such a range of options, it’s unlikely you won’t find an Anthurium plant in your dad’s favourite colour!

Long lifespan

Many plants bloom just once a year, which is a shame, as you can only enjoy them for a short while. The Anthurium plant, however, blooms for months at a time and multiple times throughout the year. Usually, the plant follows cycles of three months in bloom, a few months without flowers, and then another three months of blooming. During winter, the Anthurium might produce fewer flowers, but as soon as the sun makes a regular appearance, the plant awakens from its winter rest and starts thriving again. This makes the Anthurium a sustainable choice and a fantastic gift, as your dad will be able to enjoy it for an exceptionally long time!

Again and again

Every time your dad sees the plant, it will bring a smile to his face. Not just because it’s such a beautiful plant, but especially because it’s a gift from his child!
