A living gift is a good idea for Christmas, especially for children. Children like anything unusual, edible or indestructable. So look at succulents, strawberries, carnivorous plants (Saracenia or pitcher plants are pictured above), and herbs.
Pot up little succulents into colourful pots and containers for a special gift for even brown thumb gardener. The following succulents are perfect for the job, adding colour, texture and are drought hardy with their hands up for the waterwise garden. Hen and Chicks (Echeveria), Sedum, Houseleeks (Sempervivum), Stone plants (Lithops), Sprial Aloe (pictured above), Flapjacks (Kalanchoe) and Century Plant (Agave). Other useful Christmas gifts include potted herbs such as mint, parsely and thyme and indoor plants such as 'Zanziber Gem' (pictured above) cannot be killed no matter how neglected they are.
Decorate with a Christmas bow and be assured that your living gift will last for ever.
Care: Sprinkle with Garden Gold and water throughout the growing season.
