Indoor House Plants as Gifts

Houseplants Gifts

House plant gifts have grown in popularity over the last few years and for good reason

Houseplants make ideal gifts for anything from a housewarming to a gift to say congrats on a new job. We're delighted to now have a great range of British Grown houseplants alongside our popular favourites from the Netherlands.

Plants have been shown to help improve mental well-being

Whether it's an on-trend houseplant like ferns, a classic cheese plant or an easy-care spider plant we've got just the thing to bring calming greenery to the home.

Giving houseplants a second chance

We strongly feel that even if it isn't looking its best, a plant should be given a second chance which is why we have introduced our houseplant rescue box. These boxes contains 2 fabulous houseplants that have failed one of our stringent quality checks. Because at Plants4Presents we specialise in plants as gifts our standards are really high; a plant needs to come out the box looking fantastic, and occasionally plants just don't make that grade - perhaps they are a little bit wonky looking or they are not in flower. If they don't look their best at the moment, but they are still good quality plants then we will include these plants in houseplant rescue boxes. Aimed at people with some plant knowledge and time and patience to bring them back to full health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are house plants?

House plants are plants that will do well inside the home. Plants have evolved to thrive in outdoor environments so not all plants will do well in the drier, warmer environments that we have at home but there are plenty that will. Whether they are flowering or green foliage plants they are a great way to add some colour and texture to your living room, dining room kitchen and even bedroom.

Are house plants easy to look after?

All of the green, foliage houseplants we sell are very easy to look after and rewarding. Simply water them from time time, keep in the correct light conditions and they will do very well lasting for years and years. Many of our flowering houseplants are easy going too and will thrive and provide a pretty display. All of our plants always come with detailed care instructions and because we specialise in plant gifts we tend to focus on plants that are very rewarding without too much effort.

Are your house plants grown in the UK?

Yes, most of our house plants are British grown but we also import some house plants from Italy and the Netherlands.

Why are most of the house plants green?

Our dry, central heated and often dark homes are not a natural environment for a lot of plants and the ones that cope the best with these conditions tend to be green foliage plants. These green plants have their own beauty and value and there is a huge variety in leaf shape and textures to choose from that can be matched with more brightly coloured dracaena, orchids and cordylines. Green houseplants like spider plants and peace lilies are particularly effective at purifying the air and caring for any plant has been shown to reduce stress and help with positive thinking. Green houseplants certainly add a calming atmosphere to the home and make great gifts for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms.

How long with my house plant last?

This is very difficult question to answer as there are a lot of variables that we cannot account for, such as how regularly the plant is watered, how much natural sunlight it receives etc. All our plants come with detailed care instructions and our team are on hand to help with any care questions so we’d normally expect our houseplants to last a minimum of several months and usually for many years. If you ever have any concerns about one of our plants we would always recommend you get in touch as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to help.
