Houseplants as a gift: greenery that lasts

A bouquet is a moment, but a plant is a gift that grows alongside the person you give it to. Houseplants are an increasingly popular choice for housewarmings, new jobs, and anyone you want to leave with something lasting. Here are three of our favorites.

Sansevieria (snake plant)

Upright, sturdy leaves with a striking pattern make the Sansevieria one of the most resilient houseplants. It tolerates low light and occasional forgotten waterings, making it an ideal gift for busy people and office spaces.

Care: water only when the soil has dried out completely, and even less frequently in winter. Too much water is its only real enemy.

ZZ plant

Glossy, dark green leaves give the ZZ plant an elegant, almost sculptural look. It thrives in partial shade and easily adapts to any apartment or office.

Care: water moderately every two to three weeks, and keep it out of direct midday sun.

Orchid

A potted orchid combines the beauty of a bouquet with the longevity of a plant. Its flowers can last for weeks, and with the right care, the plant will bloom again.

Care: it loves a bright spot without direct sunlight. Water it about once a week, making sure water does not stand in the pot, and keep the roots well-aerated.
