Instead of setting up a vase of fresh flowers just once, houseplants with heart-shaped leaves can express your love forever. With your little care, these houseplants will last much longer than a dozen cut roses and can remind the recipient of your affection all year round as they grow. In other words, you can use them as a meaningful gift for your lover or friend. What’s more, not only are they beautiful with an attractive red color, but they are so easy to grow, so take a look and start growing some in your home.
