Mother-in-Law’s Tongue
Also known as a Snake Plant, the Mother-in-Law’s Tongue is a great houseplant and excellent air purifier. This is truly one of the easiest plants to care for and adds dimension to any space with its uniquely pointed and striped leaves. These leaves mirror some qualities of succulents and can store water for a long period, so you can wait some time in between watering sessions. Mother-in-law’s Tongue is also an easy plant to propagate in a vase of water, which makes for a thoughtful housewarming gift to brighten up a new home.Rubber Plant
If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, a Rubber Plant might be just what you need. This dark, tree-like plant is known for its majestic appearance and thick, burgundy leaves. A bright room with indirect light or a shady spot outside is the perfect place for a Rubber Plant. Bear in mind that this plant isn’t pet-friendly, so it might not be the best gift for a person or family with cats or dogs. Don’t worry — if you’re looking for pet-friendly housewarming gifts, we’ve got you covered!Devil’s Ivy
Despite what the name suggests, Devil’s Ivy is a lovely and joyful plant to have around. Thanks to its air-cleansing qualities, low maintenance required and heart-shaped leaves, this tropical plant is a popular pick for working spaces to add a touch of colour and life to the office. Devil’s Ivy with its deep green bushy foliage can grow to about 1.4m, immediately upgrading any space it inhabits. A great gift for someone who works from home! This plant thrives in indirect light although it tolerates low light. Be careful not to overwater Devil’s Ivy — allow the top 3-5cm of the soil to dry between waterings.Bird’s Nest Fern
The Bird’s Nest Fern is one of our favourite indoor plants! This indoor plant brings a tropical vibe to any space. The plant’s fronds form a rosette shape resembling a bird’s nest, which is how it got its name. Its pet-safe nature makes it a great choice for homes with animals. It loves bright, indirect light and adds a touch of the rainforest to your surroundings.Peace Lily
