We have curated indoor plants that flourish in Calgary’s unique climate and growing conditions. These green gifts bring a touch of nature indoors and require minimal attention, making them perfect for beginners and experienced plant parents alike.
Before you play Santa with your plants, here are a few unique plant ideas and simple care tips to help these green gifts bring joy all year long. They will even boost well-being and brighten up any space.
Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Why it is perfect: The Snake Plant symbolizes resilience and strength, making it a thoughtful gift. Known for handling different conditions, it is also a natural air purifier — especially helpful during winter when fresh air is limited. Giving the gift of cleaner air is like gifting health and peace of mind.
Care Tip: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. This low-maintenance plant loves to be left alone now and then.
ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
Why it is a mindful choice: The ZZ Plant represents prosperity and growth, ideal for someone starting a new chapter. It thrives in low-light spaces and reminds us to handle challenges with calm.
Care Tip: Water sparingly and let the soil dry out before watering again. A little neglect goes a long way with this plant.
Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Why it boosts well-being: The Spider Plant inspires creativity and clears the air, creating a healthier space for fresh ideas to grow.
Care Tip: It adapts well to different lighting conditions, so it is versatile for any room.
Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Why it is a gift of positivity: Pothos symbolizes growth and transformation, perfect for anyone navigating life changes. Its trailing vines are a daily reminder of positive new paths.
Care Tip: Keep it in indirect light and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Watching it grow brings continuous joy.
Succulents: Echeveria, Aloe Vera, or Haworthia
Why they are wellness wonders: Succulents symbolize resilience and self-care. Their ability to store water makes them low-maintenance and soothing to care for.
Care Tip: Use well-draining soil and place them where they will get lots of natural light. Like these plants, remind your loved ones to soak up light and positivity.
This holiday season, give the gift of growth with beautiful indoor plants. You will be giving a living present that contributes to mental health and well-being. Each plant brings its own unique meaning and benefits, adding calm, beauty, and inspiration to any space.
Wishing you and your loved ones a season filled with joy, growth, and the peaceful presence of greenery. Happy holidays and happy growing!
