While there are innumerable benefits to being a plant parent (such as improved air quality, reduced stress and enhanced cognitive function), not everyone was blessed with a green thumb. Succulent plants are the ideal solution for those of us who struggle to care for a non-verbal living being but who still want some greenery in our living space.
Succulents are very low-maintenance, which makes them the best plant gift (especially if you don’t know how plant-savvy the recipient is). And, because they’re evergreen, they’re appropriate for any time of the year — even winter in the northern hemisphere! Here’s a list of some of our favorite succulent plant gifts to give someone during the holiday season:
This bouquet is superb for a loved one who battles with giving plants TLC and needs some of their own. It consists of a variety of echeveria succulent plants, some of which boast stunning and mesmerizing geometric patterns and shapes. The greenery is presented in a small cubic bamboo vase that’s eco-friendly and delights the senses.
If the recipient of this gift can’t keep a regular plant alive to save their own life, this is the arrangement for them! It’s comprised of a variety of verdant succulent plants including echeveria and sedum (also known as stonecrop). The plants are accompanied by small, real river rocks that add to the natural beauty of the succulents. It also comes in a weathered slate vase that can help keep the plants alive for months or even years.
For fans of architecture and interior design, this succulent plant gift is guaranteed to be a hit! It’s made up of a range of echeveria succulents that are as beautiful as they are easy to care for. The garden’s main attraction is undoubtedly the vase it’s exhibited in — a chic ceramic planter that’s supported by a wooden base. The pot harkens back to the mid-century modern era of building and decor that’s still in fashion today!
Avid outdoor adventurers will positively adore this arrangement. It contains an echeveria plant, a variegated sansevieria (also called the snake plant) and stonecrop. Its focal point is the charming ceramic vase it comes in: a cream and pale turquoise retro camper van modeled on the caravans of yore. On that note, it’s also great for friends and family who enjoy the hippie lifestyle on the road, especially as it requires minimal care.
There’s no better time to get someone a succulent plant gift, so be sure to order the one that speaks to you ASAP!
