While it’s natural to want to share your new or old love for plants with your friends and family not everyone has thumbs as green as yours. So here is a list of some easy plants to give as gifts this holiday season.

We get it, your diamond shoes are too tight: you have a space that is so sun-filled that you frequently have to close the blinds to be comfortable. Okay, fine – it’s an actual problem. While we most often receive low light plant queries, sunny spaces also need to have the right plants lest you run the risk of scorching leaves. What are the best plants for areas over-flowing with sunshine? Glad you asked.

We do not all have the glory of a sun-drenched solarium to sip our tea in amongst our thriving, sun-loving plants. Sigh. Not only do we not all have solariums but many of us are working with low light throughout our apartments. Double sigh. However, living in a home that is light-challenged does not mean we must be plant deficient!
