Holiday Houseplant Gift Guide
Here are a few houseplant supplies Christmas gift ideas:
Whether a new houseplant enthusiast or a seasoned pro, there's a useful supply from our holiday gift guide to add to their collection.
Watering Can
A good watering can is essential for any plant parent. Choose a can that is easy to hold and has a long spout to reach all of your plants. Being cute is a plus.
Plant Mister
A plant mister is a great way to water delicate plants or to give your plants a little boost of humidity on a hot day.
Pruning Shears
Pruning shears are a must-have for any plant parent. They can be used to remove dead or dying leaves, to trim plants into shape, and to propagate new plants.
Plant Hangers
For those who may not have a lot of floor space, or if they have cats or dogs, hanging plants can be a lifesaver. These are nice cotton basket hangers, but they also have macrame, ceramic, metal, and even leather to choose from and relatively inexpensive.
Plant Pots
A beautiful plant pot is a great way to dress up your plants and add a touch of style to your home. Be sure to pick a pot that is the right size for their plant and that complements their home decor. You might want to add a plant saucer to put under the pot to catch the water, too.
Propagation Station
A propagation station is a beautiful way to show off the roots of propagating plants. These come in a variety of materials and sizes. You can also get a tabletop station or those to hang. You could also consider a plant propagation kit, which comes with everything needed to get started, including potting mix, rooting hormone, and plant pots.
Repotting Mat
These repotting mats are great for people with small spaces or those who can't get outside to repot their plants. Just quickly set up this thick, durable mat and it catches all the dirt. When done, simply fold up out of the way. This particular one is nice as it comes in two sizes.
Plant Stand
A plant stand is a great way to display your plants and to save space on your shelves or countertops. Any true houseplant enthusiast can never have too many. There are many options to choose from, too, from some plant stands that hold one or a couple plants, to those that hold many.
Plant Book
A plant book is a great resource for any plant parent. It can provide information on how to care for different types of plants, how to troubleshoot problems, and more. We recommend Plantopedia: The Definitive Guide to Houseplants, because it's everything you need to know about every kind of houseplant.
Plant Journal
A plant journal is a great way to track your plants' progress and to keep track of their watering and fertilizing schedules.
Potting mediums and fertilizers are great essential houseplant care gift ideas, too
