The holiday season is fast approaching.
To make your holidays more sustainable, Urban Jungle, an indoor and tropical plants nursery on Lincoln Boulevard, encourages people to avoid the artificial greenery and decorate with fresh, natural greenery instead.
Holiday plants are in full stock at Urban Jungle. Natural, meaningful and full of life, plants are the perfect way to brighten homes, lift spirits and transform both indoor and outdoor spaces.
During the calm or the storm of the upcoming holiday season, indoor and outdoor plants are a festive and sustainable way to deck the halls. Adorn and decorate your home with greenery that cleanses the air.
Deisy Moreno, a team member at Urban Jungle, says plants are the simplest way to invite nature into your holiday routines. As you prepare your home for festive celebrations, consider this list of holiday-favorite plants found at Urban Jungle.
Classic and Modern with a Festive Blend
Indoors, poinsettias, cyclamen and Christmas cactus make for an instant seasonal charm with their rich reds, whites and soft pinks.
For something more modern, the red- and green-variegated leaves of rubber trees and snake plants pair beautifully with cozy winter decor and thrive in low-light conditions.
Added warmth can be achieved by grouping multiple plants together in decorative pots for a layered, inviting display.
Adorning Your Outdoor Spaces
Pansies, violas and ornamental kale provide vibrant seasonal color all season long. Rosemary and dwarf cypress offer that classic holiday look and are great plants to continue nurturing post holiday season.
“You can never go wrong with a porch full of beautiful lush indoor and outdoor plants that liven the space and boost the mood,” says Deisy.
Fresh greenery also pairs beautifully with twinkling lights, candles or seasonal ornaments, bringing texture, fragrance and natural charm to your porches, patios and entryways.
The Most Meaningful Gift
Plants also make meaningful holiday gifts.
Deisy at Urban Jungle encourages people to think outside the box and give the gift that nobody returns: greenery.
As a gift, plants symbolize deep care and connection for the recipient. Although it may require some attention and care, plants improve air quality, reduce stress and create a sense of tranquility.
Unlike many holiday gifts, plants last and become part of the space, often for years. Representing growth, new beginnings and life, plants add a personal touch of nature to any space.
While naturally enhancing a room, they serve as a gift that isn’t forgotten after the holidays — a living, interactive and long-term expression of love.
“Plants are presents that don’t get put aside after the holidays end. They reduce stress and are a living reminder of your loved ones,” Deisy says.
Gift the gift of life, love and renewal this season, and adorn your space with richness and meaning. Urban Jungle offers guidance on low-maintenance options, seasonal favorites and combinations that suit any space or lifestyle.
This season, the nursery invites holiday decorators and gift givers to embrace natural, engaging and long-lasting decor and gifts. Urban Jungle also sells a variety of local and globally-sourced pottery essentials. Stop by the nursery located at 3113 Lincoln Boulevard in Santa Monica. Follow the boutique on Instagram.
