Why a living houseplant beats a traditional cut flower bouquet for Valentine's Day
In short: Landscape designer Jenn Nawada explains why houseplants offer a more enduring alternative to cut flowers for Valentine's Day. This video provides practical gift ideas for those who prefer greenery that lasts longer than a standard bouquet.
Instead of gifting cut flowers, which have a limited lifespan, Jenn Nawada suggests opting for living plants. These alternatives can be found at local nurseries and garden centers and provide a longer-lasting gesture for the holiday.
Nawada specifically recommends edible options like rosemary, as well as succulents housed in various decorative pots. Other suggestions include air plants, terrariums, and orchids, all of which offer diverse aesthetic and maintenance options compared to traditional floral arrangements.
