Flowering Plants – the Best of Both Worlds
Fresh-cut flowers are a beautiful and thoughtful gift. But, no matter how well they are cared for by the recipient, they will eventually wilt and die. While fresh-cut flowers are often the first choice for people who want to buy flowers, there is another group of flowering plants that offer beautiful blooms and the longevity of plants. They are flowering plants and they are both stunning and long lasting, making them a great way to commemorate almost any occasion.
If you are unfamiliar with flowering plants, you are not alone. There are many varieties and most are relatively easy to care for if you do a bit of homework and follow the directions give to you by your florist. Some flowering plant suggestions include:
Violets – These delightful, fuzzy plants will bloom several times each year and will live for many years with proper care.
Phalaenopsis Orchid – These wonderful, visually-impressive plants will usually bloom in fall when temperatures begin to drop.
Rose – Mini versions of the larger bushes planted outdoors, rose plants bring the beauty of roses indoors and bloom several times each year.
Poinsettias – These winter favorites can live for months after the holidays.
Blooming cactus – Thorny and usually rather uniform in looks, a blooming cactus flowers several times a year (Christmas cacti bloom annually) and are quire dramatic.
Easter lily – Frequently seen in churches during the Easter season, Easter lilies bloom for several weeks while in season.
Hyacinths – These spring blooms sprout from bulbs that can be planted after they begin to fade indoors.
Common sense care will keep these plants flowering for a very long time. You will want to be careful about watering the plants. Many indoor plants are quite susceptible to root rot and this is caused by over watering. You will also want to understand if your plant prefers less light (Phalaenopsis) or more light (violet). Plant food and fertilizer are also good for prolonging the lives of these plants.
If the idea of flowers that only last a week or two seem like an investment you would rather not make, consider a flowering plant as a great compromise. The receiver will get to enjoy it in their home or office for months or years and you will have the pleasure of knowing you brightened their world for a bit longer than with a fresh bouquet or arrangement. And, if you are on a budget, flowering plants are often more cost effective than fresh-cut flowers.
