Mittesh Gaiwala, Director & Creative Head, GreenLands, puts forth the different reasons to choose live plants in comparison to fresh-cut flowers.
- Fresh, endearing plants come in colours and sizes to instantly enhance every home and decor. Additionally, the benefits of gardening and tending to a live plant include stress relief, physical exercise, and a connection to nature that is healing.
- Plants are more environmentally friendly than a bouquet of flowers. Living plants naturally remove carbon dioxide and produce oxygen during the day. When you water a living plant, the water is being used to support plant growth; a vase of water for a bouquet is only slightly extending the time until the blooms wilt and fall.
- Many people send flowers as a sympathy, but the best sympathy gifts are something that can grow and live as a symbol of support. These sympathy plants can be a constant representation of support in a home. With many varieties to choose from, you can choose the right plant for any occasion. Not only will these plants live on, but they can create a feeling of love and caring for years to come.
- A potted plant is the perfect way to make a mark on the recipient’s home and heart. In the home, your loved ones will constantly be reminded of the thought forever, as long as they can take care of their potted plant.
- A good housewarming gift can be a healthy colourful plant for a calm and serene atmosphere or a herb basket to provide fresh ingredients in the kitchen. These thoughtful gift ideas will remain an asset within their new home for as long as the plant lives.
- The beauty, smell and fun of fresh cut flowers will only last for a small amount of time in a home, compared to potted plants. Giving the gift of potted plants can last more than a lifetime. Instead of looking at a bouquet of roses that may wilt, take a look at these live plant gifts. If you want your gift to be remembered for years to come, send plants. Sending plants is long-lasting, thoughtful, and eco- friendly and can be the perfect way to show you care.
- Cut flowers require speedy transportation as well as the support of chemicals to keep them fresh, which adds pollution to communities. All of that pollution only allows the flowers to live on for a few more days, while live plant delivery eliminates pollution and lasts for a long time. Live potted plants add value in the long run and they leave an eco-friendly community looking even better.
