If you need to give a gift but you\u2019re not sure of the recipient\u2019s interests, a plant\u2014or something plant-related\u2014is often a safe bet. After all, who doesn\u2019t love to bring a bit of greenery into their space?<\/p>\n
Of course, not all plant gifts are created equal: What makes a great gift for a seasoned gardener might not translate to someone who only recently bought their first succulent. Apartment dwellers\u2014people who keep their plants primarily indoors\u2014have different needs than those who have enough space to cultivate outdoors. And let\u2019s not forget those who might love<\/em> the look of plants but haven\u2019t quite been so successful keeping them alive\u2014we have options for those folks, too.<\/p>\n If it just seems like everyone in your social circle has lately become a proud new plant parent, this<\/em> is the only holiday gift guide you need this year. For the devoted houseplant hobbyist both new and expert alike<\/a>, here are 23 thoughtful gifts\u2014spanning every budget\u2014to show that you care about their leafy green babies just as much as they do.<\/p>\n This is a great choice for those who love plants\u2014but aren\u2019t so great at remembering to water them. In addition to being deeply functional, these planters have a modern feel that will fit in almost any space.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n If your gift recipient is a true gardener, you can\u2019t go wrong with these ultra-tough leather gloves that can withstand thorny rose bushes and dense soil. Plus, they come in two cheerful hues.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n These pothos stickers are fun little stocking stuffers, and would show off their plant parenthood anywhere they place it\u2014their water bottle, laptop, phone, you name it. The seller has a monstera version<\/a>, too, for fans of the tropical plant.<\/p>\n This sleek, elegant growframe allows plants to flourish without natural light\u2014meaning it\u2019s great for those who want a pop of greenery even in the middle of winter.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Cacti aren\u2019t the most practical plants as they need tons<\/em> of sunlight and can be unsafe for those with young kids or pets. This limited-edition print of Oaxacan scenery is the perfect compromise: sure to cure any plant woes and<\/em> wanderlust, too.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll find nothing but swoon-worthy inspiration and how-to instructions for styling a plant-filled home in this book by Hilton Carter<\/a>.<\/p>\n If they\u2019re looking to expand their plant skills, try gifting an online flower arranging class. They\u2019ll learn how to turn greenery (plucked from their fave plants, of course) and fresh flowers into works of art they can display around their space.<\/p>\n Never let your loved ones run out of fresh herbs again. These easy-to-grow herb jars are also self-watering, making them a great choice for novice gardeners.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n We\u2019ve never met a plant enthusiast who wasn\u2019t obsessed with their mister. This pretty copper pick has the perfect balance of style and utility, providing a gentle mist to your fave plant babies.<\/p>\n This gift is sort of a two-in-one. First, there are the candles themselves, which come in a range of herbal and floral scents (like Wild Tomato Vine and Crushed Mint). Then, there\u2019s the seed-infused packaging, which allows you to grow the plant that inspired the scent.<\/p>\n For the readers on your life, this guide is likened to Google for modern plant care in book form. Even the most seasoned plant parents will find lots to take away from its pages.<\/p>\n Known for its TLC deliveries, healthy houseplants, and reliable customer service, Rooted\u2019s new subscription boxes are the perfect monthly pick-me-up. Choose a subscription based on the types of plants they love, customize the duration, and make it pet-friendly if needed.<\/p>\n Delight is in the details. These teeny brass stem clingers\u2014including lizards, orangutans, and sloths\u2014make perfect stocking stuffers.<\/p>\n A minimalist yet decorative vase like this might be just the thing they\u2019re looking for to zhuzh up their artistic plant shelfies.<\/p>\n Adding extra humidity in the air during the cold, dry months of winter is good for their plants\u2014but also good for humans, too.<\/p>\n Winter\u2019s long. Keep their plants happy and healthy with this minimal, sunshine-mimicking LED grow light, which comes with everything they need to hang it up as soon as they unwrap it.<\/p>\n DIYers who love creating living works of art will appreciate this kokedama kit from the artists at Pistils Nursery. Fun to make, beautiful to display, and easy to care for, \u201ckokedama\u201d means \u201cmoss ball\u201d in Japanese and is an old bonsai<\/a> tradition of shaping a plant\u2019s roots into a ball with moss and clay.<\/p>\n These ceramic planters come in three sizes and two colors to complement any space. Besides the fun shape, the brilliance of their design is in the planter-and-saucer combo and built-in drainage.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Hook them up with easy-to-make dishes from Purple Carrot, a deliciously pro-plant meal kit subscription. Choose from a menu of meals to last a week or if you\u2019re feeling generous, a month.<\/p>\n These biodegradable moisture indicators change colors from vibrant green when the plant’s soil is wet to white when it\u2019s time for some H2O, helpfully preventing over- or under-watering. Think of it as a mood ring for their plants.<\/p>\n If they love board games and puzzles, this botanical-inspired 1,000-piece puzzle is a must. The real skill, though, is how many of these plants they can name without looking at the list.<\/p>\n For all the plants in their care, they\u2019re going to need a place to keep their tools and supplies. This durable timeless tote will carry it all\u2014yes, even a bag of potting soil.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n A green gift that requires zero-maintenance? This \u201cliving wall\u201d\u2014a handcrafted combination of real, preserved moss and ferns that\u2019s ready to hang\u2014is the kind of modern art that speaks their language.<\/p>\n 1.
