Because nothing says “I love you” like a plant you grew yourself.
Looking for a meaningful, affordable, and truly thoughtful holiday gift? Propagated plants are personal, sustainable, and filled with intention — and they’re often easier to create than you think. Whether you're gifting to seasoned plant lovers or brand-new plant parents, these four varieties make perfect holiday presents.
🌿 1. Pothos
Why they make great gifts:
Pothos are fast growers, unfussy, and instantly bring lush, trailing energy to any space. They’re perfect for beginners and thrive in almost any lighting situation.
How to propagate:
-
Snip a cutting just below a node (those tiny bumps along the stem).
-
Place the cutting in a clean jar of water.
-
Roots usually form within 1–2 weeks, and once they hit a couple inches, you can pot them up in Grow Queen Houseplant Soil.
Your gift will grow quickly, giving your friends an instant sense of plant-parent pride.
🪴 2. Pilea Peperomioides (Chinese Money Plant)
Why they make great gifts:
Known as the friendship plant, Pileas naturally produce cute little “pups” meant to be shared. Symbolic of abundance, good fortune, and connection — it’s basically a built-in holiday sentiment.
How to propagate:
-
Look for babies (pups) popping up around the mother plant.
-
Gently separate a pup with some roots attached.
-
Pot it into a small container with fresh, well-draining soil.
They’re adorable, fast-growing, and full of meaning.
🌱 3. Monstera
Why they make great gifts:
Even as babies, Monsteras make an impressive, stylish, design-forward gift. They root well, especially during active growth, and are beloved by almost everyone.
How to propagate:
-
Cut below a node with an aerial root or visible nub.
-
Place the cutting in water so the node stays submerged.
-
Keep it in bright, indirect light and watch roots develop.
Giving someone a baby Monstera feels like gifting plant royalty.
🌿 4. Spider Plant
Why they make great gifts:
Spider plants practically propagate themselves. They produce adorable baby plantlets (called “spiderettes”) that dangle from the mother plant. They’re beginner-proof, pet-friendly, super adaptable, and grow fast — making them amazing gifts for anyone.
How to propagate:
-
Snip off a spiderette that already has tiny roots or nubs.
-
Root it in water or plant it directly into soil.
-
Keep the soil lightly moist for the first 1–2 weeks.
They’re cheerful, easy, and always a hit — especially packaged as a cute little starter plant.
