Plant care gifts for houseplant owners

Plant food and fertiliser gifts

Plant food is a gift most houseplant owners will use up. The Drugs for Plants Grow bag holds one gram of 8-4-6 organic fertiliser, measured out to mix into about a litre of water, and the Bloom bag is for flowering houseplants, herbs and fruiting plants.

Pepin serums are liquid feeds made in Brittany from seaweed and plant extracts. The Orchid & Epiphyte Serum is for orchids and hoyas and the Cacti Serum is for cacti and succulents. Each 60ml bottle makes up to 150 litres of feed, and there is more from the brand in our Pepin collection.

Potting mixes and top dressing

Our Simply range is a good gift for someone about to repot. Simply Houseplant is an all-purpose mix of coco coir, Growfibre, bark and perlite with added nutrients, Simply Cacti is made for cacti and succulents, and Simply Terrarium is for enclosed terrariums.

The Shell on Earth crushed whelk shells are a decorative top dressing for pots and terrariums that also improves drainage. See all our potting mixes.

Aprons for the potting bench

Repotting is messy, so an apron is a practical gift for anyone who does a lot of it. The Gohobi cotton-linen adjustable apron has a light waterproof coating and deep front pockets for snips and labels, and the Japanese washed denim apron is 100% cotton canvas with full coverage. The printed cotton-linen apron is extra long, with adjustable neck and waist straps.

Pair an apron with a bag of potting mix and a plant from our easy care houseplants for a gift that gets used straight away. For watering cans and ollas, see our watering gifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are good plant care gifts for a houseplant owner?

Plant food and potting mix are the safest choices because they get used up. The pre-measured Drugs for Plants Grow bag is easy to give because there is nothing to weigh or measure.

For someone who repots often, a bag of Simply Houseplant and a Gohobi apron make a practical pair. See our plant food range for more feeds.

Which plant food is best for orchids and hoyas?

Pepin Orchid & Epiphyte Serum is made for epiphytes such as orchids and hoyas. Add 5 drops to 250ml of water and use it once every two waterings from March to October.

It is made in Brittany from seaweed with nettle and comfrey extracts, and one 60ml bottle makes up to 150 litres of feed. Browse our orchid plants to give one with a bottle.

How do I use the Drugs for Plants bags?

Each bag holds a pre-measured gram of organic feed. Mix one Grow bag into about a litre of water, or one Bloom bag into about half a litre, and feed every other week.

Grow is an 8-4-6 organic fertiliser with added micronutrients and seaweed extracts. Bloom is for flowering houseplants, herbs and fruiting plants. Because each dose is already measured, they suit someone new to feeding plants.

Which potting mix should I give?

Choose by the plants they grow. Simply Houseplant is an all-purpose mix for most indoor foliage plants, Simply Cacti is for cacti and succulents, and Simply Terrarium is for enclosed terrariums.

Simply Houseplant has added nutrients that feed the plant for the first 6 to 8 weeks after repotting. If you are not sure what they grow, the all-purpose mix is the safest of the three.

Are the aprons waterproof?

The two cotton-linen aprons have a waterproof coating, so water and compost brush or wipe off. The Gohobi Korean Cotton-Linen Adjustable Apron has deep front pockets and adjustable straps, and the printed cotton-linen apron is extra long for messy jobs.

The Japanese Washed Denim Apron is 100% cotton canvas with a washed denim finish. It covers clothes well whether you are repotting, cooking or at the workbench.

What else goes well with a plant care gift?

A plant to use it on is the obvious partner. Pair Pepin Cacti Serum with a cactus, or a potting mix with something from our easy care houseplants.

For watering, see our watering gifts, which include indoor watering cans and self-watering ollas, and our All Gifts page has more ideas.
