We may be biased, but nothing says “welcome home” like a beautiful potted plant. Objectively speaking, plants make for great housewarming gifts — they’re decorative, thoughtful, long-lasting. Plus, they can double as a fun, rewarding hobby.

And, you can easily tailor your selection to the recipient’s tastes, lifestyle, and skill level. For example, a seasoned plant owner may be ready to take on a Fiddle Leaf Fig, while a Snake Plant is perfect for a new plant parent. A homebody may have plenty of time to tend to a temperamental calathea, while a globe-trotter will appreciate the self-sufficiency of cacti and succulents.

Whether your loved one just bought their first home or moved into a brand-new apartment, congratulations are certainly in order! Below are our picks for a few of the best housewarming gifts for every plant lover in your life.
