Tips for Choosing the Perfect Plant

Consider Mom's lifestyle and preferences when selecting a plant. Does she have a green thumb, or does she prefer low-maintenance options? What colors and styles does she typically gravitate towards?

  • Think about the lighting in her home: Some plants thrive in bright sunlight, while others prefer shade.
  • Consider her personal style: Choose a plant that complements her existing decor.
  • Don't be afraid to ask for help: A local florist can provide expert advice and help you select the perfect plant for Mom.

Plant Care 101

To ensure your Mother's Day plant thrives, include care instructions with your gift. Most plants require regular watering, but be careful not to overwater. Check the soil moisture regularly and only water when the top inch feels dry.

Proper sunlight is also essential. Place the plant in a location that provides the right amount of light based on its needs. For orchids, indirect sunlight is ideal. Peace lilies prefer low-light conditions, while hydrangeas need bright, indirect light.

Complement Your Gift

To make your gift even more special, consider adding a decorative pot or planter. A stylish container can enhance the plant's beauty and complement Mom's decor. You could also include a handwritten card expressing your love and appreciation.

Order Early for Best Selection

Mother's Day is a busy time for florists, so it's best to order your plant gift early to ensure the best selection and timely delivery. Many florists offer same-day or next-day delivery options, but it's always a good idea to plan ahead.

This Mother's Day, surprise Mom with a thoughtful and lasting gift that she will cherish for years to come. A beautiful plant is a perfect way to show her how much you care. Consider pairing your gift with a beautiful brunch centerpiece for a complete celebration.

Pro Tip

To prevent root rot, always use pots with drainage holes and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
