A plant is a birthday present that keeps growing through the year. Pilea Peperomioides 'Mojito' has round leaves splashed with cream, and no two leaves match. Begonia 'Inca Flame' stays compact, with copper and burgundy leaves that shift colour in different light. For a bigger plant, Musa Florida Variegated is a banana with white streaked leaves.
We work with trusted partner nurseries to source and curate the best quality plants. Every plant is grown on and supplied at its healthiest, delivered across the UK and covered by our 7 day live arrival guarantee. For a collector, the Rare Monstera Starter Kit and the other plant starter kits pair two plants with the potting mix they need.
Gifts for people who already have plenty of plants
A keen grower will always find a use for good kit. The Pepin Self Watering Olla is a handmade clay vessel that sits in the compost and releases water slowly through its walls, and the Blush Pink Scalloped Indoor Watering Can has a slender spout that puts water where it is needed. Plant books and jigsaws are in Books & Games.
If they are building a collection, a plant they do not already own is the obvious choice. Ficus elastica 'Belize' has pink, cream and green leaves, and Aglaonema 'Eyecatcher' has silvery marbled leaves that brighten a shadier spot.
If you do not know what they already grow, choose something for their plants instead, such as a watering can or an olla, or give a GrowTropicals e-gift card so they can choose.
Most of our plant starter kits pair two plants with a bag of potting mix suited to them. The Monstera Starter Kit, for example, has Monstera 'Thai Constellation', Monstera adansonii 'Monkey Mask' and our Monstera & Philodendron Premium Potting Mix.
The kits suit different levels of experience. The Succulent Starter Kit has a variegated string of pearls and Lithops, which both need very little water, while the Anthurium Starter Kit suits someone ready for plants that want warmth and humidity.
Something that helps them look after the plants they have. The Pepin Self Watering Olla releases water slowly into the compost between waterings, and Plant Care Gifts has more practical ideas.
Books are another safe choice for a collector. Plant Names Simplified explains the pronunciation and meaning of botanical names, and there are more titles in Books & Games.
The brass Sloth Plant Animal from Another Studio folds onto a leaf or stem and is small enough to tuck inside a greetings card. There are other Plant Animals too, including the Chameleon.
Yes, if you choose a forgiving one. Tradescantia 'Nanouk' is fast growing and forgiving of inconsistent care, and Epipremnum 'Happy Leaf' tolerates a wide range of conditions. Both do well in bright, indirect light.
Add the Houseplant Care Cards, a boxed set of 35 cards with care guides and troubleshooting tips, so they have help to hand when a plant starts to sulk. More forgiving plants are in Easy Care Houseplants.
Yes. When you buy a GrowTropicals e-gift card you receive a unique code by email, and the recipient redeems it online at GrowTropicals.com for plants, planters or accessories.
It is a good option when you are not sure which plants they already own. Pair it with a card from Greeting Cards or a small present from All Gifts.
