Housewarming Plants

Something living for a place that's still half unpacked

Housewarming plants are the one gift that improves the room it lands in. A new place is usually short on greenery and long on empty corners, and a plant handles both. Delivered across Brisbane by our own couriers as part of our plant gift delivery Brisbane service.

Housewarming Plants

Choosing a housewarming plant

Think about the room before the plant. A new place usually has one bright spot and several dim ones, and the person living there hasn't worked out which is which yet. Something that tolerates lower light is the safer gift, and anything sculptural does more for a half-furnished room than a small plant on a full shelf.

New home and welcome home plants

A new home gift arriving in the first fortnight is better than one arriving on the day, when the hallway is full of boxes and nobody knows where anything goes. A welcome home plant, for someone back after a long stretch away, works on the opposite timing: send it to land the day they get in, so the house doesn't feel shut up.

Lunar New Year plants and the good luck framing

Plants are a long-standing Lunar New Year gift, and the ones that suit it are the upright, glossy, visibly healthy sort rather than anything delicate. The same framing works for a business opening or a first day in a new place. If you're sending for Lunar New Year, get the order in early in the week, since we don't deliver on Sundays.

Pots, cards and getting it there

Pair it with something from our indoor plant pots range and it's finished the moment it arrives, which matters in a house where the unpacking isn't. Add a greeting card on the product page and write the message yourself. Order before 12pm on a weekday or before 10am on Saturday for same-day delivery, and check the address on our Brisbane delivery areas page.

Common questions

What's a good housewarming gift that isn't more clutter?

A plant, because it takes up a corner rather than a cupboard. New homes tend to have empty floor space and bare shelves for months, so greenery earns its spot in a way another ornament doesn't.

Can you deliver on moving day?

Yes, if the address is in a suburb we cover and your order is in before 12pm on a weekday or before 10am on Saturday. Our drivers head out in the early afternoon and homes are delivered by 6pm. Every order goes out with Authority to Leave, so if nobody's there we'll leave it in a safe, shaded spot.

Should I send a pot with it?

It's worth it for a housewarming. Pots are an add-on you choose on the product page, and a plant that arrives finished can go straight onto a shelf in a house where nothing else is unpacked yet.

Which plant suits an apartment?

Something that copes with lower light and doesn't need floor space. Apartment living rooms often get light from one side only, so a plant that tolerates shade will do better than one waiting for full sun.

How much is delivery?

Delivery is from $19.95, depending on the suburb. We deliver Monday to Saturday, by our own couriers rather than a third-party service.
