Wanted New Cards Extra- Congratulations on Your New Plant

Wanted Cards – Congratulations on Your New Plant

Some people collect cats, others collect pillows… and then there are plant lovers. Not to be confused with gardeners (who are out in the dirt, pruning, planting, and weeding), plant lovers are the folks who gush over the newest monstera or can’t resist “just one more” pothos for their living room jungle.

Where gardeners may pride themselves on a flourishing vegetable patch or a bed of roses, plant lovers thrive indoors surrounded by leafy companions, succulents, and trailing vines. They’re the ones who give names to their plants, rotate them for the best light, and proudly show off each new addition as though it’s a new family member.

This love for plants has exploded into a cultural phenomenon—think “plant parent,” “crazy plant lady,” or “indoor jungle curator.” With plants becoming popular gifts (housewarmings, birthdays, self-care splurges), it only makes sense that Greeting Card Universe artists jump on this growing trend. After all, if someone adopts a new puppy or cat, we have a card for that—so why not for a new fern, cactus, or fiddle leaf fig?

That’s why GCU is calling for new cards in this fresh category:

Occasions >> Congratulations >> New Plant (cid#39350)

Whether it’s someone’s very first houseplant or their fiftieth, receiving a card to celebrate their leafy new arrival would be a fun and thoughtful touch.

Design Tips for Artists

• Illustrations of popular houseplants: monstera, fiddle leaf fig, snake plant, pothos, succulents, cacti.
• Playful typography: use leaf-shaped lettering, hanging vine accents, or pot-shaped text blocks.
• Humorous takes: exaggerate the “crazy plant lover” lifestyle, like an apartment overflowing with greenery or a person juggling dozens of potted plants.
• Cute metaphors: baby announcements, adoption themes, or pet-style humor reimagined for plants.
