Hey everyone! My brother is relatively new to being a plant parent. He has a pothos that he adores (I even hooked him up with a grow light when it struggled), and I think he'd appreciate a couple more plants. I'm leaning towards giving him something I grew myself since it's budget-friendly and personal. Last year, I gave him a spider plant baby, but it didn't survive. He's really trying to step up his plant game!
Right now, I can propagate or have available:
- Peperomia (2 types)
- Pothos (varieties different from his current one)
- Various succulents
- Tradescantia (my favorite!)
- More spider plant babies
- ZZ plant
- Philodendron (Brasil and PPP)
- Snake plant
- Hoya (I have 4 and can figure out how to propagate them)
What do you think would be the best and easiest option as a gift? My plants are relatively low maintenance, so I'd like something that's easy to care for and nice looking!

I usually go for gifting peperomias, especially the obtusifolia variety. They’re non-toxic, making them safe for pets and kids, and they're super forgiving for beginners!
He doesn’t have any pets right now and the only kid that visits is pretty responsible, so that's good to know! I really do love my peperomia and how easy it is to care for. Thanks for the suggestion!
