Flower and Plant Gift Ideas For Men

Flower and plant gifts have always been a go-to for people when purchasing gifts for women but in reality they are gifts which men will enjoy as well. Fresh cut flowers and cool plants are something which are not exclusively for women and the next time that you are buying a gift for a man, they are certainly something to consider. We all have different tastes when it comes to flowers and plants and for a man you may wish to consider a different type of flower or plant, something which speaks to their character a little more than if you were buying for a female. 

 If you visit Pearson’s Florist you’ll see that there are so many species to select from, and there really is something for everyone. When buying flowers or plants for men, these options may be the perfect gift for the man you are buying for.  

Bonsai  

Bonsai trees are a wonderful addition to the home and a real eye-catching centerpiece to any room. These miniature trees live for years and they are as much a project as they are something to look at. These trees need to be clipped, watered and cared for and most owners of bonsai trees take great pride in their appearance. There are numerous gardening art techniques that you can use to create beautiful designs for your tree, such as Bonsai Cascata, a style that seeks to imitate the appearance of a miniature waterfall. Naturally, these techniques require skill and patience and the correct pruning and wiring tools to care for your Bonsai’s growth and shape.  

Orchids 

Orchids are just beautiful plants and it doesn’t matter what gender you are there is something truly fascinating about the way in which these ancient flowers look and grow. They are not only aesthetically pleasing but they can also act as natural stress relievers, the perfect choice for the office or study of a busy man. Orchids have also been proven to improve focus and memory by 20%, a functional and gorgeous option for the man in your life.  

Anthurium  

Men may not fall in love with flowers like roses and lilies like women do but that is not to say that they don’t need some color in their life to brighten things up. Anthuriums are waxy, solid flowers which provide a real burst of strong color. These flowers have a tropical air about them and they don’t require very much looking after.

Cactus  

There are plant options for even the most macho of men and a cactus could be the perfect choice if this is the type of man who you are buying for. Cacti come in hundreds of styles, species and characteristics and they are a very gender neutral option. There is something traditionally manly about these spiky and potentially dangerous plants, and they have an incredibly long life span, requiring little care.  

Venus Fly Trap  

Most men still have that little boy inside them who loves harmless and silly fun, and that is why Venus fly trap could be a great gift idea for you. This is a carnivorous plant which has leaves that close up when contact is made. Interestingly the leaves prepare to close upon the first contact, and then if it senses another contact within 20 seconds they shut completely, really cool! They have evolved in this way to consume spiders and other insects, but even the touch of a finger will cause those leaves to seal shut, a fun plant which requires nothing more than a drop of water every couple of days.  

Men like natural gifts too, so why not give one of these a try?
