Houseplant enthusiasts are some of the easiest people to shop for. If a gift has to do with houseplants, caring for houseplants, or showing off houseplants, any plant parent will be thrilled to open it on Christmas morning. If you need some ideas though, we have a few suggestions.
A New Challenge
A terrarium kit gives houseplant parents a fun new challenge, with an interesting way to display and interact with the smaller plants in their collection. Start with a glass container, add a bag of soil and decorative rocks, and maybe find a couple of tiny plants to get your plant enthusiast started. And don’t forget a slender, telescoping hand tool or a long-necked watering can – they make “botany in a bottle” a lot easier.
Color + Fragrance for the Season
This time of year, holiday plants take center stage – maybe someone you know would love to add one to their collection. Norfolk Island pine, cyclamen, and Christmas cactus all add seasonal flair to any collection. And if your plant person likes to cook too, a festive rosemary or lavender herb cone is even more fun.
Winter Blooms
For someone who loves growing things, winter seems to last forever. Help your loved one get through the weeks before growing season returns with a winter flowering bulb they can nurture into brilliant color. In one of these specially-designed glass vases, they’ll watch as roots, stems, leaves, and finally blooms appear over the next few weeks – it’s the ultimate entertainment for a plant fanatic.
A Fresh Look for a Favorite Plant
Plants are more than just greenery. They’re an intricate part of the whole look and feel of a plant enthusiast’s home. And as plants grow, repotting happens quite often too. That’s why a fresh new container or stylish plant stand is a welcome discovery under the Christmas tree for anyone who loves houseplants.
A Little Help with Maintenance
If your friend has an extensive collection of plants, then routine plant care is an important part of their life. A handy soil probe takes the guesswork out of watering a collection of plants with different watering preferences – and fits right in a stocking. Or maybe a nice watering can with a long spout or a pair of nimble houseplant-sized trimmers is just the thing they’ll love.
Swag to Share Their Passion
When you’re as crazy about something as plant parents are, the need to share the excitement is real. Help your houseplant enthusiast tell their passion to the world with one of these plant-inspired t-shirts, mugs, or stickers.
And, of Course, Plants
No matter how extensive a plant enthusiast’s collection may be already – they always want another one. If it’s green and growing, they’ll happily pull it into the family and treasure it forever. And if it happens to be a new cultivar of a favorite plant they’re already collecting – well, that’s even better.
Give Something They’ll Love
Count yourself lucky if there’s a houseplant parent on your gift list – just one trip to the Greenhouse is all you need to make their holiday happy. Not sure what to get for your specific plant person? Just ask – whether it’s succulents, orchids, bonsai, philodendrons, or ferns they love, we’ll help you find the perfect gift for them this Christmas.
