The Perfect Plants to Send as Sympathy and Remembrance Gifts

When a loved one passes away, it can be difficult to find the right way to express your condolences and provide comfort. One thoughtful gesture that can make a lasting impact is sending a living plant as a sympathy gift. Not only do plants offer a tangible reminder of the person you're remembering, but they can also provide a sense of peace and renewal during a difficult time.

If you're unsure which plants make the best sympathy gifts, here are some options to consider from The Indoor Plant Co:

Olive Trees

Olive trees are a beautiful and symbolic choice for a remembrance gift. These hardy, evergreen trees are known for their resilience and longevity, making them a fitting representation of the enduring spirit of a loved one. As the olive tree grows, it can serve as a living memorial that the recipient can care for and watch flourish over the years.

Peace Lily

Peace lilys are a classic choice for sympathy gifts, as their pure white flowers and lush green foliage convey a sense of peace and tranquility. These low-maintenance plants are also known for their air-purifying properties, which can help create a calming environment for the recipient as they grieve.

White Flowering Flamingo Flowers/Anthuriums

For a more unique and vibrant sympathy gift, consider sending a white flowering flamingo flower or anthurium. These tropical plants boast stunning, long-lasting blooms that can bring a touch of beauty and brightness to a difficult time. The white flowers are a symbol of purity and can serve as a gentle reminder of the cherished memories shared with the departed.

Regardless of the plant you choose, the act of sending a living, growing gift can be a meaningful way to honour the memory of a loved one.
