A Green Gift: Why Indoor Plants Are the Perfect Present in Times of Rising Prices
Pasant Elzaitony
When visiting friends or family, many people wonder what gift to bring. Flowers and chocolates are often the first choices. But in today's world, where prices are skyrocketing globally, flowers have become extremely expensive, and chocolates are now priced like gold. That's why a potted green plant has become the ideal gift.
This choice is not only practical and thoughtful but is also backed by numerous studies confirming that indoor plants boost positive energy, dispel negative vibes, and act as a natural source of oxygen, refreshing the air inside the home.
Recent research also shows that plants can feel and respond to their owners—they grow better when gently touched by human hands.
So, how do you choose the right plant to give as a gift? And how do you care for it at home?
You can opt for small plants like Pothos, which is easy to care for and thrives in indoor spaces with minimal sunlight. Or you may prefer larger plants that also do well indoors, such as the Monstera.
Large Indoor Plants
Larger plants have the advantage of adapting easily to indoor living. They don't require intensive care. It's important, however, to provide simple natural fertilizers, such as banana peels soaked in water for four hours, and then use that water to nourish the soil.
A key tip when repotting: choose a slightly larger pot—not one that is too wide. Overly spacious pots can affect the plant's stability and growth.
Why Choose Monstera?
The Monstera is known for its large, dramatic leaves. The name is derived from 'monster,' due to the size of its foliage. It's a strong, hardy plant that tolerates both under- and over-watering, making it ideal for busy people or beginners.
The Golden Tip
Plants love to be touched and cared for. Gently touching their leaves from time to time helps them flourish. It's also recommended to wipe the leaves using a soft cloth dipped in water with a little white vinegar to clean their surface and keep them looking healthy and beautiful.
Whether you're visiting a friend or simply want to bring life into your own home, a green plant in a pot is a gift that lasts—and grows—with time.
