8 Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Indoor Plant Lovers

Whether you want to spoil a plant-loving loved one, or spoil your own plants, here are the top 10 gift ideas for an indoor plant lover you care about, or to show your plants you care 💚 PS: Add a new plant to any of these gift ideas for maximum brownie points. 

#1: For book-loving plant lovers 

These gorgeous, large, full-colour coffee table books will have them saying 'I love this!' with every page turned. With four to choose from there's something for everyone.

First up, Plant Tribe would be my pick for a more holistic plant lover who is in tune with the self-care aspect of plant care. Plantopedia is just what the title says, like a plant encyclopedia of varieties and their care, with beautifully detailed illustrations throughout. The Leaf Supply series, including The Leaf Supply Guide to Creating Your Indoor Jungle > are the all-rounders, the most mass appeal for all houseplant hobbyists. Sprinkled with education, inspiration, beautiful photography and stories throughout.

#2 For those who pour their heart into their plants

Haws watering cans have been made in England since 1886. They have a huge range but this model below is my top pick for indoor plant lovers thanks to it's smaller size and light weight.

It holds one litre, the perfect smaller amount to simply add fertiliser and water away (most fertiliser directions are based on 1 litre of water). A lovely compact size for storing away but pretty enough to leave on display too. Plus I love the two-in-one watering spout that can change from a stream to a sprinkler head.

#3. Insta-worthy plant care besties

#4. For the vertically challenged plant lover

#5. For the planet-friendly green-thumb 

The first of my two top picks for the eco-aware plant lover are the lush Botanopia Leaf Love Gloves made 100% from recycled plastic bottles. They keep plants clean as well as helping clean up the planet.  

#6. The gift the (plant) doctor ordered

 

My other favourite gift idea for an eco-conscious plant lover are the very cute PlantDoc Moisture Meters. The world's first and only 100% biodegradable, plastic-free moisture meter. Saving plant lives while doing their bit to help save the planet.

#7. Gift flowers that bloom for 3 months! 

Don't buy a bunch of flowers! Buy an orchid instead. A beautiful indoor orchid is a similar price to a bouquet of flowers, but instead of blooming for a week (or two if you're lucky), an orchid can keep flowering for around 3 months. PRO TIP: Look for an orchid with some unopened buds to get the longest blooming time.

Add a bottle of GT Orchid Bloom > fertiliser to your gift to help extend flowering. Then once their orchid finishes blooming, they'll have what they need to keep their orchid happy and healthy until it flowers again (and again).

#8. For a plant-lover who values craftsmanship 

 

Hidehisa are world-famous for their award-winning plant shears. Made by Toyama Hamono in Japan. Fire forged and made by hand, combining traditional methods of Japanese Sword making with the precision of modern engineering.

Made from Japanese carbon steel (hagane), the same steel used for Japanese Swords (katana), using methods dating back over 160 years. These Hidehisa Houseplant Shears are my top pick from the range.

 

 

BONUS: For the hard-to-buy-for plant lover

You guessed it. The perfect gift for the hard to buy for. A gift card! Let them choose their own planty goodies with a Love That Leaf digital gift card >
