Some gifts grow more meaningful with time. 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 Father’s Day gift — calm, steady and full of quiet strength.
The Anthurium ‘Lilli’ has a presence that feels both gentle and grounded. Its soft blush-pink spathes rise above glossy heart-shaped leaves, bringing a subtle lift of colour to any room. The blooms last for many weeks, offering a slow, steady beauty that mirrors the patience, guidance and quiet constancy that define fatherhood in all its forms.
The botanical candle adds its own sense of comfort — a warm glow and a softly balanced fragrance that fills the room with light. Together, the plant and candle create a peaceful moment of reflection, a quiet gesture of appreciation for the men who guide, steady and support us without ever needing to be asked.

Native habitat and growth pattern
In the sheltered rainforests of Central and South America, the Anthurium grows beneath soft, dappled light, producing long-lasting spathes that protect its tiny flowers along the spadix. Its calm, steady rhythm makes it a fitting symbol for Father’s Day — patient, grounded and quietly resilient.
Styling at home
Ideal for studies, living rooms, bookshelves or home offices, the Anthurium’s refined form brings gentle colour without ever overwhelming a space. Paired with the candle’s warm glow, it creates a restful corner — perfect for unwinding after long days or enjoying quiet moments of reflection.
Care requirements
Place in bright, indirect light. Keep the compost lightly moist, allowing the top few centimetres to dry before watering again. Avoid cold draughts. Feed monthly during spring and summer with Happy Houseplants Organic Tropical Plant Food to encourage fresh blooms and steady growth.
