Sure, Verdant Plant Shop has plants, and those make wonderful gifts, but did you know that we have dozens of other fantastic items that will make the plant-loving person on your list squeal with delight. Here’s our countdown of great plant gift ideas for any budget. And if you’re still stuck, don’t forget that we offer gift certificates in any denomination!
Plant gift ideas under $100
Rare plants. For less than $100 you can pick up a bucket-list plant in a beautiful ceramic pot. We have zebra ferns; prince of orange, pink princess, white wizard, and painted lady philodendrons; and many other rare and exotic tropical plants. Bonus: pick a plant and a pot, and we’ll do the transplanting for you. Double bonus: if you don’t have a good hiding place, we can keep your plant safe and healthy until closer to Christmas.
Big plants. Does your plant lover have a bare, sunny corner that’s begging for some greenery? We carry a large selection of plants in 10- and 12-inch pots: red banana trees, fiddle-leaf figs, ponytail palms, yucca cane, monstera deliciosa—take your pick. You can even add a decorative basket and still be within budget.
Under $75
DIY. Does your plant lover also like to create? For less than $75, you can get a beach terrarium kit, 7” glass globe terrarium, and some air plants. Air plants are easy to care for and your planty person can make their terrarium look exactly the way they want.
Take care. You can’t go wrong with a basket of We the Wild care products. Mix and match your basket items. We recommend Protect neem oil spray for safely cleaning and shining leaves, paired with leaf-cleaning gloves and an Instant Sun grow lamp. Or how about a moisture meter, gnat traps, and a houseplant care taster kit that includes Grow fertilizer, Protect spray, and Enrich slow-release powder?
Under $50
Grow your own. Plant people love to propagate! Let’s face it: pruning is a necessity for most plants, but it hurts to toss perfectly good cuttings. And plants are the gift that keeps on giving! With a wall-mounted honeycomb propagation stands from Funny Farm Lasary, your loved one can root to their heart’s content.
Read all about it. If your plant person is also a bookworm, we have a carefully curated selection of houseplant books. Beautifully illustrated and full of practical advice, check out Plantopedia, Wild at Home, the Propagation Handbook, and more.
Under $25
Embrace handmade. Is your giftee boho-chic? Or maybe they’ve run out of table space for their plant collection. If so, grab one of our hand-crafted macramé plant hangers. Beads, no beads, natural, or colorful—find something fun and functional to delight the plant lover on your list.
Go vertical. We have a large selection of stylish trellises and functional coir poles. If your planty person loves climbers, they’ll love our support systems. Plus, you can even grab some reusable tape to complete the gift and still be under budget.
