Independence Day Plant Gifting Ideas!
India's Independence Day, celebrated annually on August 15, marks a significant milestone in the country's history, commemorating the freedom gained from British rule in 1947. This year, however, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has led to a shift in traditional celebrations.
As we navigate these challenging times, gifting plants has emerged as a thoughtful and meaningful way to show love for the homeland and contribute to environmental protection. The best types of plants to gift this Independence Day would ideally be easy-to-care-for, air-purifying, and symbolically meaningful plants that encourage health and positivity while requiring minimal physical interaction or care.
Air-purifying plants like Tulsi (Holy Basil), Money Plant, Snake Plant (Sansevieria), and Areca Palm are excellent gifts as they improve indoor air quality, creating a healthier environment during the pandemic. Tulsi, with its cultural and spiritual significance in India, is regarded as a purifier and protector, making it a meaningful Independence Day gift symbolizing wellbeing.
Given the pandemic context, plants in pots or seed kits that can be easily delivered contactless would be preferable to cut flowers or complex gardening sets. Native and drought-resistant plants or organic crops/seeds can also be a good eco-friendly choice, aligned with sustainable agriculture, which is a growing focus in India.
One popular gifting choice these days is the Rain Lily, a beautiful flowering plant available in different colors. Another option is the Kalanchoe plant, which comes in various colors and is a popular gift plant for Independence Day. Interestingly, Kalanchoe is a short-day plant that requires 16 hours of darkness every day to produce flower buds.
For those looking for a more comprehensive plant collection, the Independence Day Plant Pack and the Symbol of Purity Plant Pack offer four NASA approved air purifier plants and three flowering plants, respectively. These packs make for a perfect gift, embodying growth, hope, and renewal - fitting themes for this challenging pandemic year.
In conclusion, gifting plants this Independence Day is not only a thoughtful gesture but also a step towards a greener and healthier environment. Let these plants serve as a long-lasting reminder of love and affection, and a symbol of hope and renewal for a brighter future.
