GIFT GUIDE

Gifts for plant parents

For the person whose windowsill is a jungle and whose camera roll is mostly leaves. These picks earn their place — useful, good-looking, and none of them a novelty mug.

  1. Self-watering plant globes

    around $20 · The Sill

    Handblown glass globes that release water at the root zone for up to two weeks. The plant gets consistency; its person gets to leave town without guilt.

  2. Grant ceramic planter

    around $40 · The Sill

    A modern earthenware planter made by a women-owned pottery company, in soft colors that flatter any leaf. The upgrade plant people rarely buy for themselves.

  3. Ecopots round pot

    around $35 · Bloomscape

    A Belgian-designed pot pressed from recycled plastic with a matte, stoneware look. The saucer comes with it, so the windowsill stays dry.

  4. Parlor palm

    around $69 · Bloomscape

    A potted parlor palm that arrives ready to live in that dim corner they insist gets light. Non-toxic to cats and dogs, so every member of the household can inspect it.

  5. Stainless steel watering can

    around $39 · Bloomscape

    A two-liter stainless steel can with a long, precise spout for hanging pots and crowded shelves. Handsome enough to stay out between waterings.

  6. Monstrella plant trellis

    around $45 · Treleaf

    A wooden trellis cut in the shape of the monstera leaf it will hold up, made in Marietta, Georgia. Support for the plant, a wink for its owner.

  7. Vita grow light

    around $85 · Soltech

    A full-spectrum grow bulb that screws into any standard lamp and casts warm white light — no purple glow. It quietly retires the not-enough-light excuse.

  8. Glow & Grow herb garden kit

    around $40 · Modern Sprout

    A scented soy candle with about 78 hours of burn time, whose ceramic vessel then becomes a planter with seeds included. One gift, two acts.

  9. Seed bomb 3-pack

    around $7 · Modern Sprout

    Hand-rolled balls of clay and seed to lob at a bare patch and forget until it blooms. The right size for a stocking or a just-because parcel.

  10. Tapered tumbler grow kit

    around $24 · Modern Sprout

    A smoked-glass tumbler that wicks water up to the roots, so the basil or lavender survives a forgetful week. Small enough to claim a corner of any desk.
