Gifting

Gifting a plant for a birthday, anniversary, housewarming or get-well-soon? A plant outlasts a bouquet — as long as it suits the recipient's home. Here is how to choose one.

Plants that work well as gifts

When you don't know the recipient's balcony or light, choose an indoor plant: most of ours do well in bright indirect light inside a home. Browse all indoor plants, or start here:

  • Anthurium (Red) — long-lasting red blooms in bright indirect light.
  • Anthurium (White) — the same plant with white blooms.
  • Kalanchoe (Red) — clusters of small red flowers for a bright windowsill.
  • Peace Lily — low to medium indirect light; keep the soil evenly moist, never soggy.
  • Areca Palm — considered pet-safe — a good choice for homes with cats or dogs.
  • Money Plant (Pothos) — very easy care, and a traditional housewarming plant.

Gifting to a home with pets or small children? Anthurium, Kalanchoe, Peace Lily and Money Plant are toxic if chewed — each product page carries a pet-safety note. The Areca Palm is the safer pick.

For someone with a garden or terrace

A grafted fruit plant or a flowering shrub keeps giving for years. See fruit plants and flowering plants. For a lighter gift, flower seed and vegetable seed packets ship easily and suit a first-time gardener.
