So you can find the perfect gift for your loved one and have it shipped directly to them on their special day.

Plants For Pet Parents

Something very important you should know is that not all plants are pet-friendly. If you’re shopping for a pet parent, it’s important to choose one that won’t be harmful to their dog or cat. It’s why we’ve dedicated an entire section of our site to Pet-Friendly Plants. Here are our top picks:

Bamboo Palm

The bamboo palm can grow up to 8ft tall. This is great if your friend lives in a loft or home with a little more space. 

Red Prayer Plant

This little cutie is perfect for table tops or night stands, as it’s smaller than the Bamboo Palm. It is also a rare find because of its two toned leaves. 

Plants For Apartment Dwellers

We know not everyone has the luxury of a sunny balcony, front porch, or backyard. For your friends and family that live in an apartment or a colder climate, we’ve selected our favorites below. These plants thrive indoors with lower levels of natural light. 

Money Tree

Recognizable by its gorgeous trunk and 5 pointed leaves, the Money Tree was originally known for its use in Feng Shui. It has air purifying qualities and stands approximately 32”-40” tall. 

Monstera

A favorite within the plant family, the Monstera has stunning heart-shaped leaves. If you want your loved one to really geek out over your gift, you can also send them our Microfiber Gloves for easy Monstera leaf cleaning.
