“What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humour, comfort and lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies.”
– Rudy Giuliani

Gifting plants to grandparents will be the sweetest way to tell them you care for them. These indoor plants will offer them a forever company which you might not be able to provide much (although try to spend time with them as much as possible). Moreover, since they might not get enough time to take care of green babies, it’s better to go for low-maintenance plants such as Aloe Vera, Money Plant, Peace Lily or Orchid.
