5 Houseplants for Holiday Decorating

As you start to decorate and make your space feel more merry and bright, consider adding these unique holiday houseplants for some extra cheer this holiday season and beyond. 

There’s nothing like being home for the holidays. If you’re getting your space ready for some holiday festivities, you might be breaking out your holiday tree, hanging some sparkling lights, or starting to buy your favorite candy canes.

If you need a little extra something to make your home sparkle, consider adding a few of our holiday houseplant picks. Not only will these plants make your space feel complete, but you’ll be giving yourself something to enjoy long after unwrapping presents.

1. A festive winter wreath 

If you want to give your guests a warm welcome, there’s no better choice than a festive winter wreath for your front door—it will be the first thing they see! This lush, live wreath is handcrafted from Fraser fir and cedar branches.

2. A live holiday tree 

Have you ever longed for a Charlie Brown tree that can fit into a small space but is still full and lush? The Norfolk Island Pine is exactly that. Add small ornaments, twinkle lights, or even a festive message pop for some extra shine!

3. A blooming Christmas cactus 

If you love a good succulent but want something a little more holiday-friendly, try a Schlumbergera. There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about this cactus—called the Thanksgiving Cactus, Christmas Cactus, or Easter Cactus depending on bloom time and leaf shape. 

4. A blooming Amaryllis bulb

Amaryllis make stunning holiday decorations with their large, vibrant red, white, or pink blooms. Plus, they’re easy to care for, providing long-lasting color and a unique centerpiece throughout the holiday season. Grab an amaryllis bulb and your favorite planter for a custom look, or go for a pre-potted kit for an effortless, ready-to-grow setup.

5. A vibrant holiday Poinsettia

Poinsettias are iconic holiday plants, celebrated for their vibrant red, pink, or white bracts that add festive cheer to any space. They’re easy to care for and thrive indoors, making them perfect for bringing warmth and tradition throughout the holiday season.
