The holiday season is here, and there’s no better way to create a warm and inviting atmosphere than by incorporating indoor potted plants into your holiday living decor. At HortyGirl Living Decor, we believe our low maintenance potted plants can brighten up any space while adding a fresh, festive touch to your seasonal celebrations.
To inspire and help you create a merry and bright living decor this holiday season, we asked our HortyGirl Potted Plant Expert to share simple holiday decor ideas with potted plants. Read on to learn more.
1. Dress Up Your Potted Pots Holiday Decor Idea
Transform your everyday potted plants into holiday showstoppers by dressing them up! Try wrapping the base of the potted plants with festive ribbons, red and green tinsel, or twinkling string lights.
If you have one of our seasonal favourites in your living decor, such as the Cypress Tree or Elwoodii potted plant, you can also try adding mini ornaments, red and green bells or pinecones next to those potted plants for an extra festive touch.
2. Create a Holiday Centerpiece With Potted Plants Holiday Decor Idea
Turn your dining room table or coffee table into a potted plant winter wonderland by creating a potted plant centerpiece. Combine lush colourful plant varieties such as the Anthurium potted plant and the Calandiva potted plant with Succulent potted plant and the Ellwoodii potted plant together with holiday accents like berries, candles, or faux snow. Try placing the holiday accents with the potted plants all on a decorative tray for a cohesive festive look.
As a reminder, it’s best to group potted plants with similar lighting requirements and turn your plants often so each side of the plant receives an adequate amount of light.
3. Turn Your Potted Plants into Mini Christmas Trees Holiday Decor Idea
Our seasonal favourite potted plants such as the Cypress Trees or the Ellwoodii potted plant can also double as mini Christmas trees.
Try adding small string lights, tiny ornaments, or a small star on top to give your plants a festive glow. For added festive touch, try placing tinsel or ribbons around the base with pine cones, ornaments or even milk and cookies for Santa Claus nearby.
4. Add Holiday Cheer with Hanging Potted Plants Holiday Decor Idea
Transform your hanging potted plants into festive decor this holiday season. Try using macramé hangers or decorative baskets to display your favourite potted plants, and enhance the look with seasonal touches like magical ornaments, miniature bells, or festive bows. You can even wrap the hangers with small fairy lights or golden tinsel for a magical holiday glow.
5. Create a Potted Plant Festive Village Holiday Decor Idea
It takes a village to celebrate the holiday season! Transform your potted plants into a delightful holiday village display to brighten up your living space. Arrange small potted plants of varying heights on a mantle, shelf, or table in your living decor. Remember to ensure the potted plant varieties in the arrangement have similar lighting requirements.
Try adding miniature holiday houses, festive figurines, or battery-operated tea lights around the grouping of potted plants for a fun holiday display. For a snowy winter touch, add some cotton around the base of the potted plants.
It is best to use potted plant varieties such as the Calandiva Potted Plant or Anthurium Potted Plant with bright blooms to enhance the festive vibe.
6. Personalized Potted Plant Gift Holiday Decor Ideas
Our HortyGirl potted plant expert shared an additional bonus holiday idea to make the holidays bright and merry.
If you are gifting a potted plant to loved ones this holiday season, add a little creativity to make the potted plant feel even more special. Attach a handwritten personalized holiday tag or tuck in a candy cane with each potted plant gift. It’s a thoughtful way to brighten up someone’s season.
