Did you know that caring for something besides yourself actually increases your ability to listen and show empathy? Studies have shown that taking care of houseplants can help you learn to be attentive to the needs of others, even when they can’t say what they need. By caring for a plant of your own, you are actually taking care of yourself as well and learning to care for those around you. If you’ve never owned plants before, start with something simple and low-maintenance. The Naples-based Marco Island Florist suggests giving plants as gifts, both to yourself and a friend, as another means of self-care.

Bring good fortune into your home or send it to a friend’s with our Braided Money Tree. Taking care of this Asian “Bringer of Good Fortune” is easy, even if you’re new to plant care, since it can weather indoor conditions like low light and even dryness.

Give yourself a gift of life, wellness and balance when you treat yourself to a new plant for your home or office. Sending one to a friend will bring even more enjoyment! Marco Island Florist is the Naples flower delivery you can trust to bring you fresh plants in a friendly, professional manner every time.
