Potted plants are great holiday gifts! Affordable, adorable, and full of personality, these plants will make everyone happy, but there are some considerations to make when choosing which ones to give.
The most notable is maintenance – plants that need low maintenance are better to gift, since that will make them much more likely to last a long time.
But the pots themselves are worthy of consideration. From small to large, colorful to monotone, there’s a lot you can do with them!
“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. – Charles R. Swindoll
Potted fairy garden
By using a small bird house you can create this adorable fairy garden on a pot. Don’t forget the stones for that extra mystical vibe. Herbs that grow low are perfect for this setup, since you want something contained and easy to manage.
Snake plant
Commonly used in office environment for its minimal design and low maintenance, the snake plant fills the role of bringing nature indoors without creating any fuzz. It also lasts for quite a while in the shade, and as long as it gets enough sunlight every now and then it will last a long time!
Potted nemesia
The nemesia is a great plant for smaller pots since it blooms luscious pink flowers, but tends to respect the size of the container and won’t spread so much it becomes unsustainable. It can also be used in combination with other plants!

Like many plants, it also reacts dramatically to light, closing up in the shade and opening up in sunlight.
