Fruit and branch.
A houseplant is just the ticket for livening up a space. And when it offers fresh citrus? Even better. These lil’ trees come all bundled up in jute and ribbon—aka, ripe and ready for gift-giving—with handy instructions to help you or the lucky recipient get growing. Each one’s living room–friendly, too (just ask our guide to indoor fruit plants), so you can have a happy sprout even if you don’t enjoy balmy weather year-round.
Pick your preferred citrus, then set your leafy new pal in a sunny spot (we’re talking “8 to 12 hours of sun a day” sunny).
