Sep 12, 2024Damian Verweij

Looking for the perfect gift? Consider a houseplant! Plants are not only stylish and timeless, but also sustainable and personal. Whether it's for a housewarming, birthday or just because, a plant is a gift that keeps growing and is always appreciated. In this blog you can read why houseplants are the perfect gift and which plants from our collection you can best give for different occasions.

1. A sustainable gift that continues to grow

Unlike flowers, which often wilt after a week, houseplants stay with the recipient for a long time. They continue to grow and, with the right care, can last for years. This makes plants a sustainable gift that will always bring a smile to the recipient’s face.

A great choice is the Strelitzia Nicolai XXL , also known as the bird of paradise plant. This impressive plant brings a tropical atmosphere into your home and can grow into a beautiful green work of art in the living room. It is the perfect gift for someone who loves statement plants.

2. Plants have symbolic value

Plants can have a deeper meaning, which makes them extra special as a gift. For example, some plants symbolize happiness, prosperity or friendship. A good choice for such a meaningful gift is the Pachira Aquatica XXL , also called the money tree. This plant is often seen as a symbol of happiness and prosperity, which makes it an ideal gift for a housewarming or a new adventure in someone's life.

The Kentia Palm XXL is also a plant that radiates elegance and tranquility, perfect for someone who appreciates a serene and stylish addition to his or her interior.

3. Suitable for any occasion

Whether it’s a birthday, housewarming, or thank you, there’s a plant to suit the occasion. For smaller gifts, Calathea Orbifolia and Alocasia Regal Shield are perfect choices. These plants have beautiful leaves and a compact size, making them an eye-catcher in any room. They’re ideal for people who are just starting to decorate their interior with plants or for those who want to expand their plant collection.

For a grand gesture, you can opt for something a little more impressive, like the Strelitzia Augusta XXL or the Banana Plant . These plants make a powerful statement in any interior and are perfect for big events like a move or an anniversary.

4. Health Benefits of Plants

One of the greatest benefits of plants is that they contribute to a healthier living environment. Many plants purify the air and help improve indoor air quality. This makes them a thoughtful gift for someone who spends a lot of time indoors, such as in a home office or apartment.

For example, the Kentia Palm XXL is not only a beautiful, large plant, but is also known for its air-purifying properties. The same goes for the Calathea Orbifolia , which not only adds elegance to the space, but also helps to keep the air in the house fresh and clean.

5. Personalization with stylish pots

To make your gift even more special, you can combine the plant with a stylish pot. By choosing a pot that matches the interior of the recipient, you make the gift more personal. Think of large, sleek pots for the Strelitzia Nicolai XXL or decorative, handmade pots for the smaller Alocasia Regal Shield . This addition makes the plant not only a gift, but also a decorative element that fits perfectly in any home.

6. Plants for beginners and experts

Plants are for everyone! For the beginning plant collector, you can choose low-maintenance plants such as the Pachira Aquatica XXL or the Kentia Palm XXL . These plants require little care and thrive in various light conditions, making them ideal for people with little experience in plant care.

For the seasoned plant lover, plants like the Alocasia Regal Shield or the Calathea Orbifolia are a great challenge. These plants require a little more attention, but their unique shapes and colors make them worth it for those looking for something special.

So the next time you want to give a unique and thoughtful gift, think of one of our beautiful plants!
