Questions You Might Ask

What is a good gift for someone who is new to growing plants? 

Mitchell emphasizes that lighting is the most common mistake people make when growing plants. “Out of a thousand consultations I do each year, 950 are due to insufficient light,” Mitchell explains. He suggests beginners start with a light meter that measures foot candles, the units of light plants need to thrive. 

Many beginners also find it challenging to balance overwatering and underwatering. To address this, Parrish recommends moisture meters, which show the soil’s water levels, and sticky traps to manage gnats, which often appear when plants are overwatered. 

Parrish also highlights that coffee table plant books are excellent gifts, as they are both decorative and informative, offering valuable tips on plant care.

What gift cards are best for plant lovers?

As a small business owner, Mitchell suggests starting with local retailers, either in the recipient’s area or online. If local options are limited, he notes that Amazon is a reliable choice due to its vast selection. 

Parrish also recommends Amazon, along with Target and Home Goods, which she says offer plenty of charming plant-themed decor. She adds that a Visa gift card is another great option, allowing plant enthusiasts to shop at any store they prefer.

What should I consider when buying a houseplant for someone? 

Mitchell highlights two key factors when buying a plant for someone: the lighting in their home and their daily lifestyle. 

Regarding lighting, he stresses the need to consider where the recipient plans to place the plant. If it’s near a sunny window, a plant that thrives in bright light would be suitable. For darker areas like a nightstand, a low-light plant is a better option. 

When considering lifestyle, Mitchell suggests evaluating how much time the person can dedicate to plant care. For someone looking for a hobby, a plant needing regular attention might be ideal. For those with a busy schedule, a low-maintenance houseplant is a more practical choice. 

What are good gifts for plant lovers who may not have access to outdoor space? 

Not all plant enthusiasts have outdoor space, but there are still ways to nurture their passion indoors. Parrish recommends a vertical garden wall, which adds greenery without taking up much room. She also suggests grow lights to ensure indoor plants get enough light, even away from windows.
