A Plant Gift That Grows With Time

The freshness and vibrant energy of house plants make them an exceptional gift choice, suitable for any occasion. Unlike many traditional gifts, live indoor plants offer a long-lasting reminder of your care and thoughtfulness. As potted plants flourish, they continuously remind your loved ones of your affection.

Health Benefits: Purify Air and Boost Mental Well-being

Indoor plants are more than just decorative items; they actively purify the air, removing pollutants and enriching it with oxygen. Numerous studies highlight the stress-relieving properties of plants, noting their ability to promote mental health and elevate mood. This makes them not only a beautiful gift but also a contributor to a healthier living environment.

Symbolic and Meaningful Gift Plants

Sending plants as a gift is a meaningful gesture. A sustainable gift choice, it allows you to express your wishes of well-being and gratitude effectively. For instance, the Money Tree and Lucky Bamboo are renowned Feng Shui plants associated with fortune and prosperity, ideal for gifting to friends and or making the ultimate corporate gift. The Peacock Plant, known for symbolizing new beginnings, is perfect for occasions marking a fresh start. The Peace Lily serves as a heartfelt expression of condolence in times of loss. And for extending an olive branch in apology, what could be more fitting than gifting an Olive Tree, a universal symbol of peace?

Choosing the Ideal Plant Gifts for Every Occasion​

Selecting the right gift plant for an occasion is straightforward when you consider the message you want your gift to convey. For housewarming parties, a symbolic plant like the Chinese Money Plant can express wishes of good luck and prosperity. For weddings or anniversaries, heart-shaped plants such as the Hoya Heart or Flamingo Flower are excellent choices. Additionally, you can send a plant as a gift to a coworker or employee - a token of appreciation or celebrating a career achievement.

Consider the Space: Size Matters

When sending plants as gifts, it's important to consider the recipient's living space. Larger plants, like palms, require more space and might not be suitable for someone in a small apartment.

Tailoring Plant Gifts to Their New Environment

Lively Root's house plant delivery is designed to help you make the perfect plant gift. You can personalize it with a customized pot and a thoughtful message to make your gift plant truly special. In addition, consider the following factors when opting for our plant delivery:​

Choosing the Right Plant for Home and Office Spaces

When selecting plants for delivery, it's crucial to consider the environment where the plant will reside. For office settings, opt for low-maintenance plants. If the plant gift is for friends moving into a new home, the available space for plant placement is key. While the popular Spider Plant is perfect for smaller spaces, the rare and magnificent Monstera Thai Constellation needs a larger room to make a statement.

Outdoor and Patio Plants: Space Considerations

Patio plants can be exceptional gifts, but ensure the recipient has enough porch or front door space to accommodate them. The beauty of these plants is best showcased when there's ample space for them to flourish.

Climate Compatibility: A Crucial Factor

When sending plants as gifts, the climate zone of the recipient's location is a key consideration. Some tropical plants need higher temperatures and humidity and might struggle in cooler climates. Matching the plant's needs with the recipient's environment ensures the plant thrives and remains a joyous gift for longer.

Low-maintenance Gift Plants

For desk plant deliveries, choosing an easy-care variety is wise. These plants should require minimal watering, repotting, or fertilizing. Succulents like the striking String of Pearls are ideal for such settings; they need only bright, indirect light and occasional watering. 

Plant Delivery: Care Tips​

Whether you opt for a Lively Root Gift Card, house plants delivered to the giftee's address, or a Gift Subscription, the best way to ensure the gift plants thrive is to meet their needs. These include:

• Water
• Light 
• Nourishing soil 
• Space for their roots
• Fertilizer  

You need to water most plants at least once a week. Ferns and other moisture-loving plants need more frequent watering. How much light each plant needs will also depend on the variety. Snake plants can thrive in low light, while the magnificent Bird of Paradise grows best in bright light. Some plants need to be repotted once they arrive. A good indication that this might be the case is if you see roots growing from the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Most plants also require regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer during spring and summer. 

Gift plants with larger leaves require cleaning occasionally to remove any accumulated dust. You should also remove wilted flowers and yellowing leaves to promote new growth. 

Different plants have differing needs, so it’s always a good idea to consult the care guide for your particular plant. Lively Root’s Plant Care Guides page is a wonderful source of practical and helpful information that your plant gift recipients can consult.
