Cactus
As cacti plants can survive in harsh conditions, they have become a symbol of warmth, protection, and motherly love. In Feng Shui, if you put this succulent on your terrace or windowsill, it is believed that it will protect you from negative energy and misfortune. In the West, cacti symbolize strength in the face of adversity and maternal love. Whereas receiving a flowering cactus from someone in Japan is actually a sign that they’re attracted to you. With all these different meanings, cacti would be perfect to gift someone for their birthday or as a get well soon present, as it will remind them to thrive and survive, and not let the world bring them down.
