With the winter holiday season around the corner, everyone is on the hunt for the perfect gift. One present that's growing in popularity (pun intended!) is the gift of live plants, particularly festive greens and evergreens.
Why are these verdant beauties the ideal holiday present? You can likely guess quite a few – beauty, fragrance, holiday spirit, and you don’t need to find room in your closet or cupboard to store them. We’ll also give tips to ensure they remain fresh and vibrant even after the holiday cheer has faded.
Gifting a plant is akin to wishing someone growth, prosperity, and good health. Every new leaf symbolizes hope, every blossom stands for beauty, and every root speaks of stability.
Literally! Plants improve indoor air quality, remove pollutants, and increase humidity. Plus, they’re a treat for the eyes, bringing a touch of nature indoors.
A plant suggests that you put thought into your gift, selecting something that would resonate with the recipient's personality and environment.
Honestly, who doesn't? But certain folks might appreciate them more:
Right Light: Place plants in a spot with the appropriate lighting. Some plants prefer direct sunlight, while others thrive in low light conditions. Check the care instructions which are included with every gift shipment from Jackson & Perkins.
Water Wisely: Over-watering is a common mistake. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. For evergreens, a light misting keeps them fresh.
Avoid Heat Sources: Keep plants away from radiators, heaters, or fireplaces that can dry them out.
Regular Maintenance: Trim off any yellowing leaves or faded flowers to encourage new growth.
Feed Them: Using an appropriate fertilizer can help sustain their vibrancy.
When your evergreen swag or wreath has passed its prime, here's how to give it an eco-friendly farewell:
Give holidays gifts that communicate thoughtfulness, beauty, and a touch of nature. They're not just a fleeting joy; with the right care, they can be a long-standing testament to the season's spirit and a constant reminder of the bond shared between the giver and the receiver. Plus, when you order from Jackson & Perkins, you can pick your shipping timeframe for convenient home delivery – appreciated by them and easy for you.
