What are some options in lasting arrangements?
Q-During the holidays, I enjoyed having flowers in my home for all of the festivities. Now that the holidays are over, I am missing that added touch in my home. What would you suggest I try for something lasting that gives that same festive and special touch?
A-If you are like me, having flowers in the home every day would be first choice! Sometimes though, that is not practical or possible. In these instances, try opting for something a bit more lasting.
One of the best ways to add that special feel that fresh flowers add to any room is to opt for flowering plants. With proper care, flowering plants last longer and add that element of warmth and cheer.
There are many great options out there this time of year. Some of my personal favorites include potted primrose, hyacinth, and iris.
You can also try a mini-potted garden in which you can create a beautiful focal point using a combination of flowering and non-flowering plants that you find attractive.
If flowering is not a steadfast requirement, try adding plants that add interest as well as provide indoor air quality benefits. The Areca Palm, Lady Palm, Bamboo Palm, Rubber Plant, Dracaena, Dwarf Date Palm, Ficus Alii, Boston Fern, Peace Lily, and Philodendron are the top ten plants for removing formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air.
