Will a pretty watering can make your houseplants happy? Probably, but it will be because you’re happy watering them with the Kaenjusai Watering Can by designer Keita Suzuki. See the matching angle of the handle and spout? That will give you a precise “point-and-pour control” to ensure less spillage. A walnut handle compliments the copper body.

Those herbs aren’t going to harvest themselves, so pick up a pair of these hand-forged steel shears for precise pruning. They’re suitable for cutting plant stems up to 3mm thickness and feature ergonomic handles so you can take your sweet time getting just the right cuts.

Did you know that surface watering is inefficient? Plants do best when they get water right at their roots. That’s just where the GrowOya aims, as it’s a terracotta vessel that’s buried mostly underground. Fill it every few days and water will naturally seep into the soil so roots can take just the right amount. You’ll be saving water and time… score!

Do you love these Power Planters by Chen Chen & Kai Williams because their own saucers are integrated into the design or because they remind you of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s legs? In either case, they’re excellent options for holding your green, leafy friends, as they’ll catch extra water and dirt without being completely (and often horribly) obvious like the alternatives.

Here’s another trick to flower arranging: use the brass Flower Constellation disk. Stretch out the disk (in your favorite Zodiac design, of course) so that it rests snugly in whichever glass or vase you have handy, and then pop in single flowers from the supermarket, florist, or nearest field. You’ll find that it’s easy to create a “voluminous” arrangement thanks to the openings in each disk.

A smart, indoor garden? Sure, sign me up. Originally a Kickstarter project, the Veritable® Smart Indoor Garden is designed to help you grow herbs and small vegetables effortlessly, all year round. While it has a small footprint (easy to fit in a kitchen, don’t you know), four different types of plants can grow together at their optimal rate. The lamps’ specific LED technology ensures quick growth; they also can be set to automatically adjust brightness based on ambient natural light. And, if that’s not enough, you’ll see the light softly pulsating when it’s time to add more water.

Now, these are some pretty plant pots. The burnished clay shapes with black steel bases look like sculptural art, and, for good reason: each one takes three weeks to complete. All Cantaro pots are made start-to-finish in a fair trade environment by master artisans in Jalisco, Mexico. Note that over time, the finish will fade, giving it a softer, lighter hue.

Plant Sticks! They are just what you think- sticks for your plants to add structure. The set of three brass shapes fit a wide range of plants, and each will support your leafy friends as they grow tall and strong. (Could be a nice Mother’s Day gift?)

Fun! This two-tiered indoor planter optimizes watering with an integrated waterfall and smart drain system. That’ll keep you from overwatering your plants, which means you may finally have some luck with herbs on your windowsill (yes, the planter is sized to fit). Three stamped metal name tags are included as labels.

Have you neglected another houseplant? If you don’t have a green thumb, do yourself a favor and get a few SR Flat Plants. The “paint by numbers” style kit includes a plywood plant cutout, paints, paintbrush, reference sheet, and instructions. You’ll finally have greenery that won’t die, no matter what. The flat, cartoonish rigidity may even lend a sense of playfulness to some rooms.

Okay, so not everyone wants to add accessories to their plants, but these Plant Animals are kind of cute. Just attach each animal by folding the hands into shape around the branches or tendrils of your plant. As they’re made from brass, they’ll catch the light every now and then and remind you of your exotic “pet” that requires no care at all (you will have to keep your plant alive, though).

Know anyone who likes gardening? You now have the perfect gift for them in this Perennial Garden Kit. Two scissors, one pruner, wood stakes, and twine with holder are all held in a tidy pinewood crate. Like I said, perfect, right? And, I think it’s safe to say any gardener can never have too many garden tools (or is that just me?).

Normally planters this nice would have a cringe-inducing price tag, but the Pidestall Planters seem completely affordable when you spend a little time appreciating their bent metal legs and clean, cylindrical forms. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use, you have your pick of two sizes- Blue/short and Red/tall. It’s time to bring some plants indoors anyways, so you’ve got a reason to add one (or two) of them to your favorite room in the house.

Plant nerds, check out this planter from Light & Ladder. Do you love it? I sure do (though I don’t like the price). It’s a sculptural take on the planter vessel, suitable for indoors or outside. It’s going to catch the eye from every angle, thanks to its stepped surface, and it’ll make your plant feel like a thousand bucks.

Handmade in terracotta-coloured earthenware, the Pleated Planter and Vase feature geometric pleats to catch the light. The planter has an added bonus of a self-watering wick to make sure your leafy companion gets just the right amount of water, while the vase is ideal for longer stems and less permanent greenery.
