Houseplant Tool Upgrades

Plants aren’t the only things that can be beautiful! Your loved one will appreciate a beautiful (and functional) upgrade to the tools they use to keep their plants happy and healthy.

1. Houseplant Sprayer—While a regular spray bottle certainly gets the job done, these glass and metal houseplant sprayers look so much more elegant on the shelf.
2. Copper Indoor Watering Can—This metal watering can is a beautiful upgrade from the cheap plastic watering cans.
3. Fiskars Micro-Tip Pruning Snips—These miniature, spring-loaded scissors are easily one of the most useful items on our entire list. Clip off a sprig of herbs, make a cut for propagations, clean up dead foliage, snip off tags and ribbons—they are incredibly versatile. We highly recommend buying your plant lover the two-pack, because they’ll want them throughout the house.

Plant Care

These tools help your plant lover take the guesswork out of caring for their plants. These options are great gifts for beginning and advanced plant lovers!

1. Grow Care Sticks—Have a plant lover who also is a smart home aficionado? These Bluetooth grow care sticks are perfect. Pop one in a pot, and then through a smartphone app, get notified if the plant needs more water, fertilizer, or sunshine.
2. Self-Watering Bulbs—Never forget to water again with these adorable watering bulbs. They dribble water right to the roots of the plant a little at a time.
3. Houseplant Care Cards—Learn how to care for 32 common houseplants with these beautifully illustrated cards. Each card tells you at a glance what kind of environment and watering the plants need on the front, while the backs walk you through troubleshooting.
4. Leaf Wellness Pest Spray—This spray is a simple pest preventative and treatment that is both effective and smells great. Plus, it makes plant leaves shiny and beautiful!

1. Grow a Damn Plant Journal—A houseplant journal that you’ll actually use! Not only can you keep track of your watering and fertilizing regimens, but there is also space to track two years of growth, pests, and propagations.
2. Grow Light—This gooseneck LED grow light is actually four lights in one—making it really flexible to fit around any size or number of plants. It clips onto a shelf, pot, or window sill with ease!
3. Mod Sprout Smart Grow Frame—Plants are works of art, and deserve to be displayed as such! These frames come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and come with a built-in grow light. Now you can beautifully show off your plants even in dark corners!
4. Brass Greenhouse Terrarium—Give your plants or propagations a boost of humidity with this adorable brass and glass terrarium.

Beautiful Planters

Plants are gorgeous on their own, but we’ve never met a plant-lover who doesn’t love a beautiful planter or plant hanger to add to their collection. Here are the ones we are loving in our own homes!

1. Tal and Bert Planters—These geode planters are absolutely the most beautiful planters we’ve ever seen! The concrete and mineral containers can bring just the right amount of subtle sparkle to a room.
2. Mud Cloth Plant Basket—These handmade cloth plant hangers hide the unattractive pots houseplants come in, plus they make it so the plant is easily hung on an available hook!
3. Self-Watering Planter—Self-watering planters are a god-send for folks who are still cultivating their green thumb or who leave their plants for days at a time (like someone who leaves plants in an office over the weekend). A reservoir is filled with water, and the plant can then soak up as much or as little water as it needs.
4. Color Block Plant Hanger—A braided cotton hanger makes it easy to suspend pots in front of a sunny window. These hangers are sturdy and have beautiful color block details.

1. Egret Savannah Garden Pot—This bird-shaped planter comes in two pieces so that your plant gets adequate drainage while bringing a touch of whimsy to your plant displays.
2. Eyelash Ceramic Planter with Saucer—Coming in both pale pink and white, these sweet pots have great drainage and look adorable.
3. Yellow and Striped Planter—A bright and cheery cachepot for your favorite plants will add some extra beauty to your plant shelf.
4. Macrame Plant Hangers—We have hangers in multiple colors from this Minnesota artist, and they are a lovely way to hang plants.

For Crafty Plant Lovers

Plant loving is not just about the plants themselves—it’s a lifestyle! For the crafty plant-lover on your list, here are a few of our favorite plant-themed craft gifts.

1. Warm Florals Paint by Number Kit—This DIY kit is a perfect way to pass some chilly winter afternoons, and the final result is absolutely display-worthy.
2. DIY Terrarium Kit—This terrarium kit is a great gift for the budding plant lover—child or adult! It contains everything you need to make 2 adorable little terrariums, little dinosaur figures included.
3. Handmade Houseplants: Remarkably Realistic Plants You Can Make with Paper—Know a plant lover with a black thumb? Paper plants are the way to go! Get this book to create your own beautifully realistic plants for gifting, or gift the book to your favorite crafter so they can make their own.

Plant Lover Accessories

Help your favorite plant-lover scream their love of plants loud and proud with our favorite accessories!

1. Plant Mom/Plant Dad Pins—Share your love of plants with these “Plant Mom” and “Plant Dad” pins. The metal and enamel pins are sturdy, and come with a secure rubber back that is less likely to fall off than the winged metal type.
2. Monstera Keychain—Carry a memento of your plant love around with you all day with this monstera leaf-shaped keychain.
3. Pineapple Air Plant Magnet—This reclaimed wood vase comes in two colors—gold and yellow. With a little air plant inside (included), it looks just like a pineapple.
4. Succulent Candle—The scent of this candle has layers of fresh cut grass and agave that smells super fresh. We are loyal fans of this independent candle company in Indiana! The candles last forever and smell amazing, and the company is 100% plastic-free.

Books for Plant Lovers

You can’t go wrong with a good book! These are some of our favorite plant lover books. We have a few covering plant care, and a few to expand your favorite plant lover’s horizons.

1. Plant Parenting—This how-to guide is a great one for a burgeoning plant lover who wants to propagate their own plants. It covers mostly houseplants, but also gives some information about vegetables and fruits—a great bridge to vegetable gardening.
2. The New Plant Parent—If we only read one houseplants book, it would probably be this one. Rather than vague information on which plants need “bright, indirect light,” this book tells you what exactly that means, and how to tell what your plant really needs to thrive based on how they grow in nature.
3. Rosemary Gladstar’s Medicinal Herbs—Moving onto herbalism is a natural evolution for many plant lovers. Once you discover the power of plants, it’s hard to stop! This beginner’s guide is a wonderful place to start making plant medicines at home.
4. Drunk Botanist Book—Take the love of plants to the next level with a little mixology fun! This book is all about crafting delicious and interesting cocktails with plants.
