Gift Guide for Flower and Plant Lovers

1. Gifts for the Home Jungle Enthusiast

For the person whose houseplants have names or first time plant parents:

• Golden Pothos – The Beginner-Friendly Classic: A staple in every houseplant collection and a great “Welcome Gift” for new plant parents.

• Alocasia Melo – A unique rare find: We love Alocasia in general for their intesting leaf patterns and this one in particular has great texture in silvery blues and greens.

• Begonia Macuklata or "Polka Dot": A super striking plant with velvety red and green leaves and white dots. Looks great in a burgundy pot.

• A Handmade Pot to complete the gift. We love these recycled planter pots made of recycled materials in lovely terracotta and citrus shades.
