For The Green Finger

People who love plants are easy to buy for and hard to impress. They do not need another plant, because they already have too many. What they want is somewhere good to put the next one.

This edit is built around that. There are Potted planters in stoneware and ceramic, including the Oslo with its drainage hole and matching saucer, the Berlin self-watering planter and the sculptural Milan and Vienna. Umbra's Triflora and Bolo hanging planters suit windows and ceilings, alongside Zakkia concrete pots, porcelain hanging planters on jute rope and a Therapy Garden candle in Wild Mint and Lime for the potting bench.

Size up rather than down: a planter one size bigger than the nursery pot gives the plant room to grow. If you really cannot choose, a Flux Boutique gift voucher lets them pick for themselves. For more, browse our plants and planters.

What is a good gift for someone who loves indoor plants?
A good planter is the safest bet, because keen growers always have a plant waiting for a better pot. Choose a neutral glaze with a drainage hole and saucer, or a hanging planter if their shelves are already full.

Do the planters have drainage holes?
Many do. Every Potted Oslo planter has a drainage hole in the base and a matching saucer, and the Zurich also has drainage. Cover pots such as the Vienna are designed to hold a plastic nursery pot inside.

What size planter should I buy as a gift?
If you know the plant, choose a pot a few centimetres wider than its current nursery pot. If you do not, a medium planter is the most useful: big enough for a young pothos, small enough for a shelf.

Can I give a gift voucher instead?
Yes. Our Flux Boutique gift vouchers can be redeemed in store or online and have no expiry, so a plant lover can take their time choosing exactly the right pot.
