Festive and Bright — We're Sure Holly Plants Will Elevate Your Christmas Decor, Here's How You Can Grow Your Own

A close-up of holly.

If you ask me, holly is the epitome of Christmas foliage. Don't get me wrong, I love the striking red flowers on a poinsettia and the intriguing trails of a Christmas cactus but holly is definitely the most iconic of them all in my book. Whether you know them from all the Christmas-themed paraphernalia or from the corners of festive invites, this pointy-leaved red-berried plant has made an appearance in your life at some point.

And contrary to what you may have heard, they can actually be grown indoors. Adopting holly as a houseplant is the perfect way to introduce a touch of Christmassy foliage to your home in the most natural of ways. By simply popping these winter houseplants up onto empty spots on your table or by your mantel place, you can enliven the seasonal energy in any room.
