Since ancient times, different cultures and traditions have believed that plants hold deep spiritual meaning. But as generations have come and gone, our society has become less familiar with these symbols.
It’s still as relevant as ever though, because knowing what plants represent can help you pick out the perfect gift.
Whether it’s a housewarming, a birthday or something to brighten somebody’s day, we have plants for every personality and every occasion...

According to traditional art, the orchid is a sign of new beginnings. With five orchid flowers in bloom and a few in bud and sitting in a light terracotta flowerpot on a beautiful wood-effect plinth, this set is just as good as the real thing.

Another of the classic quartet of beautiful plants known as the ‘Four Gentlemen’ in traditional art, the bamboo is believed to bring good luck; and let’s face it, we could all use a little of that from time to time.

The chrysanthemum is a popular motif in traditional art and represents fall as part of the classic quartet of beautiful plants known as the ‘Four Gentlemen’. Each differently colored chrysanthemum bloom has a different meaning, but for orange it’s all about happiness, enthusiasm and joy.
So, whether you want to brighten up your own home or send some good vibes to a loved one in your life, the orange chrysanthemum is the flower for you.
For thousands of years, the beautiful and delicate plum blossoms have been a favorite subject for painters and artists. In traditional art in particular, this flower is revered as one of the ‘Four Gentlemen’ (the others being orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum).
The detailed LEGO® Botanicals Plum Blossom set captures the elegance of the iconic winter flora with its woody stem and red and magenta flowers, sitting in a pastel-blue flowerpot with a golden band and wood-effect plinth. Just like this set, the plum tree keeps its leaves even after the snow has fallen and is a symbol of resilience and perseverance.

When somebody is going through a hard time, or your friend is having a bad day, or it’s a Monday, help someone get through with a plant that says ‘you got this’. Succulents represent strength, tenacity and positivity, making it an ideal gift to show your support.
Just like LEGO bricks, a cactus can stand the test of time, even in the desert heat, so they’re a real reminder to keep going and not give up. And what a lovely message that is. Our LEGO Succulents allow you to build and display a variety of different plants from the succulent family like cacti, agave and aloe (the latter symbolizing beauty and good health).
Or why not consider the new and adorable LEGO Botanicals Tiny Plants, featuring tough desert plants like cacti alongside some tropical and carnivorous plants. The perfect pick-me-up for a friend in need.
So, now you know the meaning behind the plants. And if you’re anything like us, you’re ready to surround yourself (and your home) with positive plant energy! Explore the full LEGO Botanicals range here for a dose of flower power.
