When it comes to gift giving, plants are the perfect choice for any occasion. They are a memorable offering that serve as a reminder of the growing relationship you have with the recipient, whether a total beginner or a gardening pro. Here are six reasons why you should consider gifting a live plant.
Plants provide continual enjoyment
A plant is a thoughtful, long-lasting gift. In fact, with proper care, houseplants are the gift that keeps on giving for years to come. Unlike other types of offerings, plants provide continual enjoyment, engagement, and entertainment.
Houseplants are more than a passing trend
With more people learning about the benefits of indoor plants, the movement to bring nature indoors has grown stronger every year. Statistics now show that 66% of American households own at least one houseplant.
Plants are universally loved
Men and women alike appreciate the beauty and benefits houseplants provide. According to Zippia, 50.5% of plant buyers are women, while 49.5% are men.
Plants make a space look stylish
Plants come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to suit any taste or decor. Sansevieria (commonly known as the snake plant) and leafy cast iron plants harmonize beautifully with industrial decor. While larger-leaf houseplants—such as Ficus elastica and Monstera—are the perfect selection for minimalist spaces.
Houseplants are good for you
Studies have shown that plants provide a number of health benefits. After just 15 minutes of interaction with houseplants, physiological and psychological stress is reduced. Furthermore, plants have been proven to enhance creativity and productivity.
Plant options are endless
Choose an easy-to-grow low maintenance plant for a beginner or opt for a must-have, high-maintenance variety for your friend with a green thumb. Don’t forget to include a planter with a self-watering system for the jet setter in your life.
So if you’re looking for a thoughtful, unique gift that will be loved and appreciated for years to come, consider giving a plant. They offer style and entertainment and even provide many health benefits. A living plant can brighten up anyone’s space, whether at home or in the office.
