It's a thoughtful way to start the year together, and the right houseplant will bring life and freshness into someone's space as they begin the new year.
Plants like Anthuriums, Pothos, and palms are significant as they can symbolize growth, prosperity, and new beginnings.
Giving an easyplant makes your gesture even more special, and the self-watering pot significantly reduces watering frequency. Once monthly is enough, your recipient will not have any problems with neglect.
