Description

Gifting plants and cuttings to others is a generous thing to do with extra bonuses. Plants are beautiful, are interesting to look at, and help purify our air. Plus, they absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere and emit oxygen, giving better air quality indoors and outdoors.

Gifting them also positively impacts mindsets toward caring for them and, by extension, the natural world. When a plant is given as a gift, the person receiving it will likely be more inclined to look after it well. Caring for plants can also help foster a positive effect on mental health.

Depending on how widely and what plants you share with others, it can aid with biodiversity. Plus, sharing cutting from your well-established plants to others can save money and create a fun community spirit towards plant cultivation and knowledge sharing.

Tips

• Some top air purifying plants are: Spider plant, Calathea, and Peace Lily. Search online to discover other great options native to your area.

• Not sure what plant you have? Download a free plant identifier app and simply take a picture to find out its name and specific care tips.

• When you know the name of the plant you wish to propagate, there are loads of how-to articles and videos online to help. Use them to learn more about the best way to divide and share cuttings to increase your chances for a good experience. Try different things over time and build a wealth of knowledge.

• When gifting, a little decoration can go a long way. A simple bow on a nice pot is a nice touch for a special gift. Or simply keep it casual for impromptu gifting occasions.
