Whether cut or potted, orchids and plants make spectacular gifts and design accents for your home and office. They also convey some other surprising benefits.

When it comes to gift giving, those who give flowers are considered to be more successful and caring than those who give other gifts. A Rutgers University study stated that your choice of gifts can significantly influence and change the way others perceive you. Family, friends and colleagues may expect flowers on their birthdays, anniversaries and other normal gift giving occasions. But a surprise gift of flowers expresses generosity and gratitude unlike any other gift can do. White hydrangeas or a dozen long stem yellow roses tastefully arranged in a vase for no particular reason might just be the gift your Mum today.

Are you trying to sell your flat and need to make it more attractive? Perhaps your conference room or lobby could use some vibrant colours. Try adding orchids and plants to the décor.

Plants improve your respiratory health by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. But did you know that they can also remove harmful pollutants from the air you breathe? According to a NASA study, chrysanthemums, peace lilies, English ivy and dozens of other houseplants are quite effective at absorbing and trapping benzene and other chemicals released by modern building materials and cleaning products. For homes under 185 square meters, the study recommends that you select at least fifteen houseplants to treat the air.

Orchids are one of the most colourful and fragrant groups of flowering plants. The mouth-watering scent of raspberries, chocolate and cinnamon emitted by some orchids are enough to make you wonder if they are edible. Perhaps the most beneficial aspect of their alluring scents is aromatherapy. Vanilla orchids have been used for centuries to encourage relaxation. We look forward to helping you include orchids and plants in your gift giving or décor plans.
