Some gifts say thank you in the gentlest way. Our Anthurium ‘Lilli’ in a stylish Vibes pot, paired with a beautifully scented candle from our handmade botanical range poured in a golden tin, makes a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift — elegant, calming and full of love. A beautiful way to celebrate your mum, grandmother or any woman whose care has helped you grow.
Mothers, grandmothers and all the women who nurture us carry a quiet, constant strength. The Anthurium ‘Lilli’, with its soft blush-pink spathes rising above glossy heart-shaped leaves, reflects that same gentle resilience. Its blooms appear calm and delicate, yet they last for many weeks — a steady symbol of patience, warmth and the kind of love that never demands attention yet shapes our lives profoundly.
The candle adds its own layer of comfort — a softly botanical fragrance that fills a room with light and warmth. Together, they create a small ritual of peace and appreciation: a moment to pause, breathe and feel cherished.

Native habitat and growth pattern
Originating from the warm, sheltered rainforests of Central and South America, the Anthurium ‘Lilli’ grows beneath a canopy of gentle, filtered light. Its blooms — actually spathes rather than true flowers — protect clusters of tiny blossoms along the spadix. In nature, its slow, steady rhythm mirrors the patient strength and quiet kindness often associated with motherhood.
Styling at home
Perfect for windowsills, side tables, bedside spaces or living room shelves, the Anthurium ‘Lilli’ brings a refined lift of soft pink and fresh, glossy green. The botanical candle adds a warm glow and subtle scent, turning any corner into a place of calm — ideal for early mornings, restful evenings or cherished moments of self-care.
Care requirements
Place in bright, indirect light and keep the compost lightly moist, allowing the top few centimetres to dry between waterings. Avoid cold draughts. Feed monthly in spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to support regular flowering and strong, steady growth.
Why choose this Mother’s Day gift
Because love grows through presence, patience and care. This Anthurium and candle pairing is a living symbol of gratitude — gentle, lasting and full of meaning for anyone who has offered love like a mother.
