Looking for an alternative to a traditional fir Christmas tree? Whether you’d like a greener, more eco-friendly tree, are looking for something smaller but still festive, or just fancy something different from the boring old norm, we’ve got a huge range of indoor plants you can dress up with tinsel and baubles over the festive period and, come the new year, still have an awesome houseplant you can enjoy all year round.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Araucaria heterophylla - Norfolk Island Pine
Rather than a houseplant posing as a Christmas tree, the Norfolk Island Pine is a Christmas tree that can double as a houseplant.
Come the new year, take the decorations off and you're left with a strikingly geometric houseplant with fractal leaves for year round colour, vibrancy and texture.
It's a stylish alternative to a frumpy fir, without venturing into the territory of total eccentrics!.
Ficus lyrata - Fiddle Leaf Fig
Tough enough to put lights on and a bigger size has a fantastic tree-like structure.
Want to know where it beats a Christmas tree hands down? Big broad leaves certainly mean you won't still be picking pine needles out of the carpet in March!
We've got mid to massive sizes and single or multiple stems to get the shape you want for your space.
Zamioculcas zamiifolia - ZZ Plant
You could be forgiven at this point for thinking we advise chucking some lights and a few baubles on your favourite houseplants and calling it an alternative Christmas tree...
Well, nothing could be closer to the truth.
- If you like it - adorn it!

Chrysalidocarpus lutescens - Areca Palm
Beautiful, bushy and bouncy. The fronds of the Areca are made for baubles!
Decorate with lightweight baubles and the fronds will move around as you brush past / give it a shimmy.
Available in sizes from 50cm - 170cm tall you can find an Areca to fit your space.
Epipremnum aureum - Golden Pothos
A lush, decorative foliage plant with large glossy green leaves and splashes of yellow. Golden Pothos brings warmth and freshness in equal measure.
With a moss pole bringing height and support to the plant's overall look, wrap the pole with twists of tinsel to complement those climbing tendrils.
Polyscias Ming - Aralia Ming
Feathery and festive this small compact indoor tree won’t clutter your space. It needs warmth and humidity to look it’s best. The elegant leaves call out to be wrapped in the soft strings of Christmas light, for those warm and cosy winter evenings.
This year why not think beyond the festive fir and enjoy greenery for all seasons.
