20 Indoor House Plant Accessories - Gift Guide
All the plant supplies and accessories in this gift guide make great gifts for any plant person on your list for Christmas, birthdays, housewarming gifts, or any other occasion.
These houseplant gifts are really useful for any plant parent. Plant care products like moisture meters, watering cans, premium potting soil, and fertilizer.
There are also some fun plant gifts like cute planter pots, plant journals, and houseplant books.
1. Live Indoor Plants
Obviously. You will score points by surprising your friend or secret Santa recipient with a new plant.
Get an easy-care plant like a Snake plant for a beginner plant parent, or a more rare succulent plant for a more experienced plant person.
There are many live plants available to purchase online.
2. Plant Cuttings
Give cuttings from plants you own yourself, maybe already rooted in water, and ready to be potted up.
If you don't have plants to take cuttings from, there are online sellers that have a variety of indoor plant cuttings.
A propagation station makes for a great add-on gift!
3. Coffee Mugs
You can't go wrong with a coffee mug with a plant print or a funny quote or saying.
So many plant mugs to choose from!
4. Clay Terra Cotta Pots
I'm a big fan of keeping plants in clay terracotta pots. Their look matches with almost every interior.
And clay is porous, meaning excess moisture can evaporate through the sides. Making overwatering less likely. Score!
6. Llama Planter Pots
If you are looking for a fun and whimsical plant gift, check out these llama planters.
Not into llamas? There are many other animal-shaped planters to choose from!
7. Watering Cans
All plants need to be watered. Even the most drought-tolerant plants like cacti and succulents, need watering every now and then.
You are best off with a watering can with a long spout. Those are ideal to get to the soil under succulent leaves or water plants in hanging baskets.
8. Moisture Meter
A moisture meter is a handy little tool to test soil moisture, pH value, and sunlight level. Useful for every plant parent, but beginner plant parents will especially be grateful for it.
9. Plant Mister
To mist or not to mist your plant. The opinions differ. It only raises the humidity around the plants temporarily. Some say it might not be worth the trouble.
But let me tell you this, plant people actually like to spend time with their plants. Misting gives an extra check-in moment with their plant. And a little special plant care treat never hurts.
Stylish brass plant misters are great for smaller houseplants. Get a larger spray bottle for bigger, leafier plants.
10. Premium Potting Soil
If you're not a plant person you might think, soil? But yes, soil can be a great gift. High-quality specialty soil mixes will be well received.
Get the scoop on how and when to repot houseplants and show off your inside knowledge and tips!
11. Self-Watering Pots
Self-watering pots are good for plants that like their soil to stay moist like the Boston Fern.
But these are also very handy for those who tend to forget to water or travel and can't water the plants while away.
12. Plant Journals
Plant journals are great for keeping a record of plant care, how the plant is growing, and logging things like watering schedules and propagation tracking.
Plant journals look super pretty and are filled with botanical illustrations that would make any plant lover happy.
13. Plant Puzzles
Plant puzzles are high up on my own personal Christmas wish list this year. There are plenty of puzzles with beautiful botanical designs to keep busy for hours.
Let's start with 1,000 pieces to pass the time.
14. Indoor Terrarium or Greenhouse
Some plants like Fittonias or Hypoestes polka dot plants can be total divas and will pout and wilt as soon as they are not happy with the humidity.
Many houseplants are native to warm locations. Placing them in a (semi)-enclosed terrarium or greenhouse mimics their natural habitat.
Steal the show by gifting a complete terrarium starter kit, or go handmade with a DIY closed plant terrarium!
15. Houseplant Books
Books are always a great gift. And every houseplant owner loves new plant care tips and inspiration.
Choose a how-to care for houseplants book for the beginner, and photography plant books for the more experienced plant owner.
16. Organic Plant Food and Fertilizer
Every indoor plant parent needs plant fertilizer. You can't go wrong here.
It gives potted plants an energy boost during the growing season by supplying them with the needed nutrients.
17. Macrame Plant Hangers
If you have a little bit of time, you can make your own easy DIY beaded macrame plant hanger.
Or get yourself a pretty ready-made hanging macrame planter basket. Especially if there are pets in the home and certain plants might need to be kept out of the pet's reach.
19. Botanical Wall Art
The only artificial plants on this list are ones to frame and hang on the wall.
20. Rooting Hormone
Show off with rooting hormone powder.
Plant lovers know what this is. A little bit of powder will help grow roots when propagating plant cuttings.
