Need a last minute gift? Pick up a beautiful plant for a hostess, friend or family member.

Plants have many benefits for one’s office or home. They create a feeling of well-being, improve concentration, help lower background noise (who knew!), improve air quality, and are especially pretty and pleasant to have around.

We’ve chosen some low maintenance plants to brighten any home or office. With a festive ribbon tied around the pot, these gifts are all set to go!

Ivy Plants: They’re classics for a reason. Ivy is very easy to grow in pot or hanging basket. It tolerates inconsistences in watering and light, but prefers medium light and watered when the soil starts drying out.

Bromeliads: Beautiful, stunning additions to any home, these plants have colorful and long-lasting blooms (that can last for months!). These plants grow best in medium or bright light and require their soil to be watered (try to avoid the soil becoming both saturated and dried out!).

Agave: This plant is bold, beautiful and exotic. The leaves appear variegated with blue, green and grey colors. They require little water, and flourish in direct sunlight!

Phalaenopsis Orchids: With blooms that can last for months, these orchids are stylish and especially low maintenance. Flower colors range from purples, pinks, whites, yellows, and many other variegated patterns.

Red Aglaonema: This plant shows off dark green leaves with intricate detail of bright reds and pinks. It is one of the easiest plants to care for, flourishing in a wide range of low to bright light, and watering whenever the soil dries out.
