Gift a Plant

It's a no-brainer to give a succulent lover a new plant as they adore having as many plants as possible. Succulents require little care and can continue to thrive, so a succulent pot is an excellent reminder of the significance or purpose behind the gift.

Interestingly, most of my parents' succulents were gifted by their friends. When my parents proudly showed me how well the succulents were growing under their care, they also shared stories about who gifted them the plants.

A Trip to Succulent Garden / Nursery

No matter how many plants a succulent lover has, it's never enough for them. Why not just let them have them all? Haha. Many places specialize in growing succulents professionally. I've visited several, for example, the Succulent Greenhouse inside Jardin des Plantes in Paris, France, and the Arizona Cactus Garden inside Stanford University.

I had an extraordinary experience visiting a succulent farm in Beijing, China (watch the video here).

I've compiled a list of places worldwide that have succulents. You can check them out and see which ones are close to you.

Take your succulent loving friend to a place full of succulents. They will appreciate every moment of the visit.

Succulent Legos

Of course, anything paired with Lego has an added charm. Lego offers a plant series that includes succulents, making it an ideal selection for succulent enthusiasts who are also enthusiastic Lego builders.

Polymer Clay Succulents

On Reddit, I stumbled upon an artist who crafts polymer clay succulents. I was amazed by their lifelike appearance, as it was difficult to distinguish them from real ones.

These artificial succulents are ideal for indoor decoration as they can thrive in spaces where real succulents wouldn't survive without adequate sunlight.

I hope my recommendations above can help with your gift search for your spefical someone.
