Plant lovers are often deeply passionate about their green collections, viewing them as more than just home decor. When picking out a gift for the green thumb in your life, there are important things to consider.
To avoid giving a plant lover something they already own or a plant they don’t need, ask them – or someone close to them – if there’s anything plant-related they've been wanting. Here are some ideas to inspire your gift hunt.
If you know someone who is just starting their plant-care journey, tends to be forgetful or is very busy, self-watering planters are perfect as they help maintain consistent moisture levels.
Grow lights are essential for houseplants. They help them thrive indoors year-round, particularly in low-light spaces or during the winter months.
These tools help take the guesswork out of watering and soil health. They are also key to preventing overwatering.
If you know a plant lover who has everything they could possibly need, consider getting them décor like botanical prints, floral-scented candles or leaf-patterned throw pillows.
Plant subscription boxes are a gift that keeps on giving, whether it’s for a few months or a whole year. They offer curated monthly surprises like rare plants, care guides or accessories.
Some organized plant lovers or those with big collections like to display the type of plants they have or even name their plants. Get these individuals some plant labels that they can customize.
Propagation stations let plant lovers grow cuttings into new plants while doubling as stylish décor and a creative way to display greenery.
Another idea for particular plant lovers who have it all is plant-related coffee table books. These are great for expanding knowledge or simply enjoying beautiful photos of greenery.
Give the gift of a custom apron and gloves for those that like to get their hands dirty. These items could have their name, initials or favorite quote embroidered on them.
Some plants need trellises to grow vertically, and they can also add beauty to the garden. Gift a plant lover with perfectly sized trellises to enhance both the appearance and functionality of their space.
This may seem like a thoughtless gift but it is preferable in some cases. Give gift cards to plant shops or plant nurseries to individuals that are very particular.
