Royal City Nursery Best Gifts to Give a Houseplant Lover-houseplant room

The fall colours have pretty much come and gone, which means it’s a great time to start thinking about Christmas shopping if you haven’t already. Choosing gifts for friends and family members can be a bit daunting at times, and really the spirit of the season is so much more important than the gift—but if you have a houseplant lover to buy for—have we got some ideas for you! 

From cute little planters to plant essentials like a hydrometer, these are our top 6 gift suggestions for the houseplant lover. 

 

1. Watering Can

Watering cans are to houseplant lovers what mugs are to tea lovers—you can never really have too many! This Haws Heritage watering can has all the vintage vibes. It’s a traditional upright watering can with both top and side handles, as well as a domed lid that will help your houseplant-loving friend avoid spilling water all over their home or office.

2. Moisture Probe

This falls into the category of essentials we are certain every houseplant lover would appreciate as a gift! Many of us houseplant lovers fall into one of two categories: those that shower our houseplants with far too much love (i.e., overwatering), and those who may or may not forget to water their plants for several weeks at a time. Moisture probes take all the guesswork out of watering, though! 

 

3. Pots, Pots & More Pots

Pots are a perfect gift idea! When you bring those new plant friends home, they usually come in boring old plastic pots. If you’re a houseplant lover, though, you’re more than likely going to want to give your new friends a swanky home to live in. Terra cotta pots are ideal and versatile, particularly for plants that prefer well-drained soil like succulents. On the other hand, plastic and ceramic pots work great for tropical plants because they hold moisture quite well.

4. Pruning Shears

The majority of proud plant parents spend a lot of time making sure their plants are well-maintained, and a pair of solid pruning shears are a must when it comes to keeping plants healthy. These somewhat daintier Felco pruning shears are an ergonomically friendly, high-quality gift idea for the houseplant lovers in your life. 

 

5. Plant Stands & Hangers

Plant real estate is hard to come by if you’re a hardcore houseplant lover, so plant stands and hangers will likely be much-appreciated gifts! Keep the general aesthetic of their home in mind when purchasing a plant stand, or opt for a plant hanger instead! If you want to get crafty, you can find simple, easy-to-follow DIY macrame plant hanger tutorials online.

6. More Plants! 

When in doubt, more plants will always be welcomed as a gift by houseplant lovers! If you don’t know what kind of plants your friend or family member already has, worry not, they will undoubtedly be happy to add to their collection either way (or opt for a gift card so they can choose their own plants). If they also have furry friends at home, though, be sure to select a pet-friendly houseplant!
