Plants are more than just trendy décor, they're personal, meaningful, and full of life. But here’s the thing: not all plants suit all people. Some folks are nurturing green thumbs, while others forget to water their cactus for a month. Some live in sunny apartments, others in cozy, shadowy corners.
So how do you pick the perfect plant for someone special? Whether you're gifting to a seasoned plant parent or a total beginner, this guide will help you match the right plant with the right personality, lifestyle, and vibe.
