Choosing the right plant gifts

For that friend or loved one who already has it all, gift shopping can be quite a nightmare. One gift that you can always send, however, is a beautiful potted plant. If you are not sure about choosing the right plant gifts, here are some ideas to keep in mind.

Amaryllis

This plant thrives indoors during the winter and it prefers cooler conditions. It is easy to grow and it only needs to be watered from time to time. So, even if your friend or loved one is not all that experienced in plant care, they need not worry about keeping this plant alive.

Orchids

Known and loved for their exotic beauty, orchids are available in several varieties. Different types of orchids require different levels of care. Yes, some can be a bit tricky to grow but there are many types, like dendrobium orchids, that are really low maintenance.

Roses

If the intended recipient enjoys cut roses, why not send them a rose plant that will bloom over and over again? This is one of the most rewarding plant gifts because they are such popular flowers and they always look superb when in bloom.

Bamboo

Lucky bamboo is an excellent gift if you are shopping for a house warming gift or you would like to wish the recipient well. This plant adds an amazing sense of peace to the room and they are really low maintenance too.

Herbs

If you are looking for practical plant gifts for somebody who enjoys cooking, then herbs are the way to go. A mini herb garden or their favourite herb in a pot will be a thoughtful gift for sure. Consider useful herbs like basil, coriander or chives for example.

No matter the occasion or the preferences of the recipient, there are plant gifts for everyone! If you are extra concerned about the recipient’s ability to keep the plant happy, just remember that cacti and succulents are some of the hardiest of all. They make wonderful gifts for the busy professional.
