Holiday Houseplant Styling

Festive Ways to Dress Up Your Indoor Jungle

Your houseplants don’t have to sit out the holiday fun. With a few creative touches, you can turn your indoor greenery into festive décor that celebrates the season while keeping your plants healthy and happy. At Cropley’s Garden Center in Bolton, CT, you’ll find everything you need—from beautiful houseplants and pottery to seasonal décor and gardening essentials—to transform your indoor space into a winter wonderland.

Add a Touch of Holiday Sparkle

Give your houseplants a dose of cheer with lightweight, plant-safe ornaments. Mini baubles, pinecones, or natural wood decorations can hang gently from sturdy branches or stems. Avoid heavy ornaments that could bend or damage delicate leaves. For a natural, elegant look, try small ribbons or gold twine instead of traditional hooks.

Brighten with String Lights

Nothing says “holiday” like a soft, warm glow. Choose battery-operated LED string lights that stay cool to the touch and wrap them loosely around larger plants like fiddle leaf figs, Norfolk Island pines, or dracaenas. Avoid lights that plug in or give off heat, as they can dry out or scorch your plants. A gentle sparkle among the foliage adds instant holiday ambiance to any room.

Dress the Base with Style

The pot is part of the presentation! Wrap your planters in festive burlap, red ribbon, or a decorative bow, or place the entire pot inside a holiday-themed cachepot or basket. You can also top the soil with pinecones, moss, or small ornaments for a finished look that feels fresh and intentional.

Keep Plant Health in Mind

When decorating, remember that your plant’s well-being comes first. Keep leaves free from spray glitter or artificial snow, which can clog pores and block sunlight. If you’re adding décor around the base, make sure it doesn’t interfere with watering or drainage. Your plants will stay lush and healthy while still looking their holiday best.
