According to scientific research, our brains are wired to release the reward hormone dopamine when looking at flowers. Find some great ideas here for plants to show you care.

Phalaenopsis (moth orchid)

These popular indoor orchids have lasting flowers produced year-round. Find them in a range of colours, including classic white, purple, pink and more. Orchids have a lot of symbolism associated with them, including love, beauty and strength.

Position them in a bright room out of direct sunlight, watering little and often. A great tip for Phalaenopsis is to keep it in a clear pot or glass vase, as the roots photosynthesise as well as the leaves. I have a great video on my YouTube channel on how to care for orchids via @daviddomoney.
