Inspired gift ideas at Symfolia

The holiday season is upon us, and so is Christmas. With it come the perks, true, but also the challenges of finding the perfect gift for our loved ones. As the years go by and our imagination runs dry, Symfolia comes to the rescue.

 

The nursery of Symfolia proposes inspired gift ideas, perfect for spreading joy and a little greenery around us. Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned plant lover or someone new to the wonders of gardening, you’ll find what you’re looking for.

Here are some gift ideas to explore:

 

Stone plants
These resilient plants are also known as "living stone plants" due to their impressive longevity, with a lifespan of 40–50 years. They possess a fascinating ability to store water in their thick, fleshy leaves. Native to Southern Africa, stone plants symbolise the harmony of nature and the cycle of life, showcasing resilience by adapting and thriving against all odds.

 

Kokedama
A traditional Japanese art form, Kokedama literally translates to "moss ball." This charming planting technique involves wrapping a plant’s root system in a ball of soil, which is then covered in moss and secured with twine. Kokedama is a minimalist and creative way to display plants, making it a perfect choice for small spaces or as a unique decorative centrepiece. These suspended or placed moss balls symbolise harmony, simplicity, and the beauty of nature. Low-maintenance and versatile, they are ideal for adding a touch of greenery to any room.

 

Tillandsia
Commonly known as air plants, Tillandsia do not require soil to grow, making them uniquely adaptable compared to other plants. Instead of absorbing nutrients through their roots, they take in water and nutrients through their leaves. These remarkable little plants symbolise freedom and creativity. They make excellent gifts for anyone living in a small space or for those with personalities that thrive on change.

 

Succulent Mini Garden & Big Succulent
A unique concept designed by the Symfolia team, creating beautiful succulent mini gardens. Succulents are believed to be prehistoric, having existed for an impressive 5 to 10 million years. Compared to other types of plants, succulents are naturally pest-resistant and are considered minimalist, low-maintenance plants. Even beginners can easily succeed in growing and caring for succulents.

 

Rose du Désert
A standout choice for connoisseurs, this magnificent plant is celebrated for its stunning, summer-long blooms and bonsai-like charm. Exceptionally resilient, it thrives in pots for years and endures severe droughts, as perfectly described in its name. Its elegant presence will definitely add a touch of sophistication and natural beauty to any space.

 

Symfolia also offers a variety of indoor plants, including Monstera, Ficus, Syngonium, Rubber Plant, Peperomia, and Spathiphyllum. These hardy plants thrive in diverse climates and act as natural air purifiers. Monstera and Ficus are also believed to bring luck, wealth, health, and prosperity.

 

Sometimes, it’s the simplest gifts that leave the greatest impression, and a touch of green to end the year is always a good idea. At Symfolia, you’ll find just that: simple and local treasures that make giving feel meaningful. Don’t miss it!
