What’s the Best Plant Gift Box?

Low Stress Succulents

Whether the person you’re shopping for has been known to kill their greenery, you can’t really go wrong with a succulent subscription box . They’re excellent for beginners and each shipment comes with a new species (like Kalanchoe, Haworthia, and Crassula). Some companies go one step further and provide their plant subscriptions in recyclable packaging and biodegradable pots.

Air Plants for a Cleaner Space

If you or a gift recipient reside in an area with pollution, an air plant subscription box is just the thing to improve your living space. Each plant species is accompanied by care instructions to guarantee that they thrive and even create offsets!
