  • Give the Gift of Growth // Holiday Houseplant Gift Guide
    Why are plants the perfect holiday gift? Plants symbolize so many things such as growth, life, and connection, so it only makes sense that we want our giftee to feel this. And unlike typical presents, if you pick just the right plant for whoever you’re gifting it to, trust that this will continue to grow and evolve long after the holiday season is gone—making them think of you every time they look at it. But if you’re not careful (and well-informed), that gift could turn into a time bomb of wilting leaves and shattered dreams. And before you know it, your giftee is calling themselves a plant killer. So this episode is all about a holiday houseplant gift guide that avoids the classic plant gifting pitfalls.In this episode, we learn:[03:45] Why do plants make the best gift?[04:52] What’s the biggest issue about gifting plants?[06:37] Why choose low-light plants as gifts?[07:21] How can you make plant gifting fun?[07:35] #1 Personalized terrariums[10:28] #2 Kokedama[12:33] Perfect plants to gift to your loved ones![12:44] Perfect plant gift for mindful plant parents[13:38] Perfect plant gift for curious collector plant parents[14:36] Perfect plant gift for design-based plant parents[15:16] Perfect plant gift for urban farmer plant parents[16:09] Perfect plant gift for low-maintenance plant parentsMentioned in our conversation:Proven Winners leafjoy™ H20 CollectionWhat's Your Plant Parent Personality? - Growing Joy with MariaGrowing Joy Ep 261: The Best Low Light Plants for Dim SpacesYoutube video: HOW TO MAKE A TERRARIUM - Step-by-Step DIY Terrarium Tutorial!Proven Winners FittoniaYoutube video: How to Make a Kokedama // Perfect Plant Gift for All Occasions!Living Lace® Hurricane - Bird's Nest FernLiving Lace® Victoria - Bird's Nest FernLiving Lace® Twirly Whirly™ - Boston FernPrismacolor™ Splash Dash™ - Red-leaf PhilodendronPrismacolor™ White Wizard - Philodendron hybridPrismacolor™ Pink Princess - Philodendron hybridArching Amour™ Follow Your Heart™For my complete houseplant gift guide,check out the full show notes and blog here!Thank you to our episode sponsor:Proven WinnersFind plant joy in leafjoy™.
