Plants or flowers for Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is approaching and it’s time to decide what kind of gift you want to buy for mum. One question that many people have is whether they should choose plants or flowers. While there is no precise right or wrong answer, there are some factors that you should consider before making your decision.

What they both offer

Firstly, it’s important to note that, whether you choose plants or flowers, there are some advantages that mum will enjoy no matter what. Firstly, they will both improve her environment and her mood from the moment they are delivered. They add a touch of nature to any room and their colourful blooms will certainly make her feel more cheerful. You can also shop according to your budget no matter what you are looking for. They can also be purchased online and delivered directly to her door if you wish.

Where flowers win

Sometimes, when deciding whether to send plants or flowers, the latter will win. This is because you can select a bouquet that includes several flowers instead of a plant that produces a single type of bloom. Not only this, but you can also choose multi-colour bouquets if you wish. If you know that mum is extremely busy, she might not have the time to care for a potted plant. This is when cut flowers will be the obvious ideal choice.

Why choose plants

Just like flowers, plants also have their unique advantages. Potted plants will last longer than cut flowers which means that you will be sending a gift that will keep on giving. Especially if you choose a plant that will continue to produce blooms year after year. There are also different types of plants available based on mum’s environment. For example, if she doesn’t have much space, you could consider sending something small and slow growing like a succulent. If she has plenty of indirect light but not much direct sunlight, you could opt for a luxurious orchid. Take into consideration her living conditions before selecting a plant.

Remember, you don’t necessarily always have to choose plants or flowers. You can also take a look at silk arrangements if you want a gift that will last without demanding too much care or attention. Sure, these bouquets will need to be dusted from time to time but this is about all the care they need. No matter what you choose, make sure that you keep mum’s preferences in mind and you can’t go wrong.
