CHEERFUL Mini daffs

other's Day naturally results in more colour in the home, with living gifts being a lovely way to give a lasting message. The great thing about them is that they don’t demand much. Given bright light, kept away from too much heat, and watered sensibly, these flowers will last for weeks.

WELCOME MOTH ORCHIDS

The elegant look of moth orchid, which you may also know as Phlaaenopsis, makes it a popular gift, and its easy-care requirements are an added bonus. They should be positioned in bright, filtered light that's away from harsh, midday sun. Avoiding draughty areas will also help keep them happy.

Its original, clear pot has benefits too. Orchid roots like light and airflow, so that clear pot is useful and makes watering easier.
