Here’s our top 10 Christmas houseplant gift ideas
Waxed Amaryllis Bulbs
A Christmas favourite is the Waxed Amaryllis bulbs. That comes in an array of different colours. They are quite possibly the easiest care flowering plant you could gift this Christmas. They need no pot and no water… yes that’s right they need NOTHING. The wax covering keeps all the moisture inside and allows the bulb to bloom into a stunning flower.
Waxed Amaryllis Jumpers
For those of you that like an added extra, there are also the Amaryllis waxed bulbs sporting a glittery Christmas jumper. They’re the same care as the normal waxed bulbs and also take between 4 to 6 weeks to reach blooming. Each bulb will bloom 2-3 flowering stems and each stem will have 3-4 flowers coming from it. Making them the perfect houseplant gift.
Chinese Money Plant
The Chinese Money Plant's botanical name is Pilea Peperomioides and they are another fantastic easy-care houseplant. They have round disc-like foliage that look as if they balance on the delicate stems. They make the perfect houseplant gift as they require medium to low daylight and are considered non-toxic plants to pets.
Anthurium Red Champion
These stunning colourful plants are native to Columbia and are sometimes known as the Flamingo Lily. They host a wax-like, red heart-shaped leaf with vibrant yellow tails. They are perfect over the Christmas season bringing colour and edge to all home interiors. A top tip is they are the perfect bathroom plant as they can sustain humid environments.
Peace Lily
Remaining in the Lily plant family, is the ever popular Spathphyllum Chopin, or more commonly known Peace Lily. They are often gifted during times of sympathy, to wish a friend or loved one peace and support. Their deep green leaves and white flower make for a stunning and delicate plant.
Christmas Cacti
Now the clue is in the name but the Christmas Cacti are an excellent houseplant gift for the holiday season. They are native to South-Eastern Brazil and are originally found growing from shaded habitats. The tone of the flower can vary from plant to plant but they make for a stunning colourful masterpiece this time of year.
Easy Care/Air Purifying Bundle
Looking to spend a little more this Christmas? Well we’ve carefully constructed two high quality houseplant bundles. For the busy or newbie plant parents, our easy-care houseplant bundle is constructed of three extremely low maintenance choices.
The Air Purifying houseplant bundle is for the health conscious plant fans. These plants have been carefully considered due to their tendency to take in carbon dioxide in the home and release oxygen. With stress relief and sleep promotion both being added benefits.
Dumb Cane Plant
The Dumb Cane Plant or natively known the Dieffenbachia Camilla is an evergreen perennial cultivatar. Traditionally in Brazil the plant symbolizes the protection against negative energy. Their large and vibrant leaves display multiple shades of green and provide a great low cost gift for anyone.
Mini Christmas Tree
It wouldn’t be the festive season without a pine tree right? These miniature Christmas trees are the perfect desk or shelf topper. Making them brilliant secret santa and office gifts. You can even start the christmas journey and plant them in the garden after the festive season to watch them grow into a full sized pine.
