Holiday Gift Guide For Plant Lovers 2023

Are you trying to find a perfect gift that is unique yet meaningful for someone in your life? Yes, we know it can be challenging. But Plantly has you covered this festive season. We have some great holiday gifts for plant lovers and those not yet planting parents.

The truth is that plants make for a beautiful and thoughtful gift, especially for a family member or friend with a green thumb. Still, even if a person has a black thumb, we have other exciting gifts on our list.

So, let’s get our holiday season started with these incredible gifts here.

Holiday Gifts For Plant Lovers 2023 Based On Person Personality

Regarding gift ideas for family and friends, we are sure you will find something interesting here with us for a plant-loving friend. You may even find a great gift for a plant-obsessed friend to someone who does not even have a plant collection.

Still, how do you choose plant gifts for a plant person or someone who does not do gardening?

Choosing the Best Gifts for a Plant Lover

Maybe you do not know what gifts plant lovers should buy as you do not know what they already own or what their style might be. The reason is that some people prefer large plants while others love simple succulent plants or even anything in between.

So here are some questions you can ask yourself to narrow your gift ideas.

• Do your dedicated plant parents live in a tropical climate, a cooler climate, or something in between? When you know this answer, you can buy a plant that fits in with its location. So, if you know there is little light, then it helps to choose a plant that can adapt to different lighting needs or add a grow light to the mix.

• Perhaps the plant lover has a lot of small plants standing in different places, and they need a space safer to keep them together. Then, invest in a stylish plant shelve or stand to keep their plant babies together. With a plant stand, each plant has enough space to grow.

• Maybe the person you need a gift for is new to gardening, or they have green thumbs. Then, invest in a coffee table book on how to grow houseplants successfully.

• Choose a suitable plant for someone with a small living space or a full-size home. Like the snake plant, you can find plants that adapt well to low-light conditions. The best part is it is a low-maintenance plant and easy to tend. Alternatively, you can buy herb starter kits for that particular person to start an herb garden, as it is on trend.

• Lastly, and most importantly, when it comes to urban gardening and buying plants, consider if the plant addict has children and pets. The reason is that some plants are toxic and best kept away from humans and animals.

Terrific Holiday Gifts You Can Gift To New Plant Parents And Plant Lovers
