Plants for Wedding Gifts: Overview
Discover a wide variety of wedding present ideas with our wedding plant gifts collection. Getting plants for wedding gifts is a thoughtful and heart-warming way to express love and convey your blessings and best wishes to the newly married couple.
Live plants have the advantage of being long-lasting and much more life-affirming than cut flowers. They make an elegant and memorable gift for weddings, engagements, wedding anniversaries, and other romantic occasions.
There are many different varieties of plants for a wedding gift. Some plants produce magnificent flowers, while others carry a special symbolic meaning. You might want to get a large statement plant for their home or a pet-friendly plant if they have a cat or dog. You can also gift stately tropical plants or palms, which will look stunning in any interior, or choose charming hanging plants or miniature succulents.
Wedding Plants: Care Guide
All plant wedding gifts ordered from Hey Rooted can be delivered to the recipient’s address. But if you prefer to gift them in person, the following care tips will help the gift look its best:
Watering
After you receive your wedding gift, water the plants thoroughly if the top few inches of the soil are dry. It’s best to water several days before gifting your wedding plant gift; the soil should be slightly moist, but it shouldn’t drip. Drought-tolerant varieties, like cacti or bromeliads, can go for long spells without water, so be careful not to overwater.
Light
The ideal lighting conditions vary depending on the type of plant. Many plants do best in bright but filtered light. Never leave your plant gifts for a wedding in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the plant’s leaves, ruining its lush look.
Temperature
Tropical plants require warmer temperatures, which is important to remember if you’re giving a gift during winter. Bring the plant indoors until you gift it; leaving it overnight in a cold car or garage can damage the plant.
On the other hand, exposure to heat can stress plants and cause flowers to wilt quicker, which is why it’s best to keep plants in a cool, shaded location before gifting during the summer. Don’t leave your gift plants near air conditioners or heaters, as some plants are more sensitive to temperature fluctuations, causing them to droop or even drop their leaves.
Humidity
Tropical plants and ferns prefer high humidity. Mist them to maintain their lush foliage. Succulents and plants with fuzzy leaves don’t respond well to misting and will do better in average indoor humidity.
