This Year, a Plant is a Perfect Xmas Gift
Giving a living plant this Xmas is one of the most thoughtful gifts because your recipient can enjoy watching it grow and thrive all year.
Tropical foliage plants like Monsteras, palms, and flowering plants like Anthuriums make beautiful additions to any home this Christmas, or you can gift a Snake Plant or ZZ Plant to liven up the dark spots in your recipient’s home.
Whichever plants you love, easyplant slashes maintenance requirements with a self-watering pot that only requires refilling once monthly – your recipient won’t need to baby their plant; it’ll do well with minimal upkeep.
Adding a plant stand will also save your recipient’s hard surfaces from any watermarks and elevate their new plant for a more striking display.

The Tradition of Gifting Plants for Xmas
Gifting a living plant during the holiday season has long been considered one of the most meaningful presents possible.
Plants symbolize eternal life and fresh beginnings, resonating deeply with people across cultures during the winter festivities and celebrations.
The thoughtful choice of a houseplant shows care and foresight, offering something that grows more beautiful with each passing season.
Unlike traditional gifts that fade with time, plants continue bringing joy as they thrive and develop under their new owner's care.
Today's plant gifts create lasting memories while purifying indoor air, making them beautiful and practical holiday presents to treasure.
For beginners and busy people
The ZZ Plant
A ZZ Plant is the perfect Xmas gift for anyone new to plant parenthood.
It’s a virtually indestructible beauty that thrives everywhere, from bright windowsills to dim office corners. Its glossy, dark green leaves maintain their dramatic appearance, whether bathed in natural light or surviving under fluorescent bulbs.
The slow but steady growth rate means your recipient won't need to repot their plant for years. Plus, with easyplant's self-watering system, optimal hydration needs just one monthly top-up (perfect for the neglectful!).
The Snake Plant
Snake Plants offer the perfect Christmas gift, combining architectural drama with air-purifying power. Their striking sword-like leaves rise boldly from the pot in either classic green or show-stopping golden-edged varieties.
Your recipient will appreciate the Snake Plant’s adaptable nature. It thrives in both bright and low-light conditions and grows steadily upward at a manageable pace.
The easyplant self-watering pot needs refilling once every two months, making it a fantastic Xmas gift for friends who go on extended vacations.
The Chinese Evergreen
Gifting a Chinese Evergreen this Christmas guarantees your recipient's success with their new plant. These sturdy beauties sport gorgeously patterned leaves in silvery-green hues and maintain their vibrancy in everything from bright indirect light to shadier spots.
The Chinese Evergreen has moderate growth and enjoys average room humidity, so your recipient’s plant will flourish with minimal attention. They need nothing more than a monthly refill of their easyplant reservoir.
For plant enthusiasts
The Monstera Deliciosa
Monstera Deliciosa plants are among the most distinctive houseplants for Christmas gifting. Their naturally perforated leaves create living art. Each leaf develops a unique pattern of splits and holes, growing more dramatically as the plant matures.
Their impressive size creates an instant focal point in any room, with bright indirect light encouraging the development of larger fenestrations (holes) in the leaves.
easyplant's self-watering technology maintains the consistent moisture these jungle natives crave to ensure your Xmas gift looks its best all year.
The Fiddle Leaf Fig
A Fiddle-Leaf Fig brings a dramatic presence to any plant enthusiast's Christmas collection.
Its large, violin-shaped leaves create an unforgettable silhouette that commands attention in bright spaces – perfect for a dining or coffee table.
The Fiddle Leaf Fig rewards experienced plant parents with dramatic growth flushes, developing a fuller, more tree-like appearance that commands attention in any bright space.
For small spaces
The Parlor Palm
A Parlor Palm transforms any small space this Christmas with graceful fronds that instantly create an exotic, sophisticated atmosphere.
Its delicate feathered leaves maintain a perfect desktop size while bringing classic elegance to any room corner or side table.
The slow-growing nature and adaptability to moderate light make it an enduring gift, especially in easyplant's self-watering pot.
Holiday Cactus
The aptly named Holiday Cactus is a popular Christmas favorite, with its beautiful fuchsia flowers and jagged dark green leaves.
It thrives in low-light environments and rewards you every fall with new blooms spreading out over the pot for a dramatic display.
Your recipient will love seeing their Holiday Cactus reach for the sun, with a small and medium pot promoting around 3 inches of growth yearly.
