While there’s no denying the beauty of fresh floral arrangements, one advantage of opting for a potted plant is that these options live much longer than cut flowers. With the right attention, your gift might last for months or years and serve as a constant reminder about how much you care for your loved one. For any special day, plant gifts make a long-lasting gift that expresses your appreciation.

Green plants have other benefits, too! They’re good for the air quality in the home because they produce oxygen and raise humidity levels. Looking at and caring for a potted plant may increase focus and concentration, while also reducing stress. Plants will hardly ever look out of place in a home, and can add a little color to any interior style without clashing with the decor.

We think any occasion could be a great chance to order an indoor plant for a friend or family member. Here are some of the best holidays and reasons to send a plant to your loved ones:

• Mother’s Day

• Valentine's Day

• Birthdays

• Anniversary

• Graduation
