One of the most anticipated aspects of Christmas is the decorating process. Seeing your house lit up with lights does something beautiful. It makes you feel joyful and festive right away. Decorate your house with Christmas flowers and plants to provide a touch of natural beauty. For a warm winter atmosphere, they go well with additional greenery, such as a Christmas tree and wreaths.
This blog will include some of our favourite Christmas flowers and plants. It also includes some information on their seasonal significance and history of their association with the season.
A popular Christmas flower, amaryllis is recognised for its beautiful red blossoms that harmonise with the holiday hues. Add a touch of a winter wonderland to your décor with certain types that include beautiful white blossoms. Amaryllis blooms are inherently striking due to their enormous, trumpet-shaped petals.
Amaryllis plants are genuinely tropical, hailing from South and Central America, despite their association with winter. Because they bloom inside in the winter, they became a favourite Christmas present. When combined with other seasonal flora, such as berries, amaryllis, whether planted or in a bouquet, gives a striking splash of colour and beauty to any celebration.
An excellent quality of amaryllis is the length of time it remains in bloom. These plants will make a beautiful addition to your house for the holidays and beyond with their seven weeks of blooming beauty. With the right maintenance, cut Amaryllis flowers may remain fresh in a vase for three weeks or more, making them ideal for use from the days leading up to Christmas all the way into the new year.
Sending a bouquet of amaryllis, a flower that in the language of flowers signifies power, confidence, success, and resolve, is a considerate way to wish someone a joyful and successful new year.
When it comes to Christmas plants, the Poinsettia Poinsettia is unrivalled. With its stunning combination of green and red, it is little wonder this houseplant is the most popular in the UAE over the holiday season. Annual sales hover around 8 million. Even while red poinsettias are the most common, you may also get them in white and pink.
As far as blooming plants go, poinsettias are a little out of the ordinary. Bracts, which are unique top leaves, give the impression of crimson petals. The actual blossoms, which may be either green or yellow, are tiny and hidden within the leaf centres.
These plants' winter blossoms are a hallmark of their native Central American habitat. There is a Mexican Christmas folklore that involves the Poinsettia Poinsettia. A little girl who was short on funds brought a little bouquet of weeds she found on the side of the road to a Nativity scene as a present for the infant Jesus. As soon as she laid them down, the weeds transformed into the beautiful red Poinsettias that we see today.
Azaleas, which are members of the Rhododendron family, are lovely houseplants that many people choose for the winter because of the joy and warmth they provide. Their big, colourful flowers are a popular choice for holiday arrangements, and their thoughtfulness and beauty make them a wonderful present. Azaleas are perfect for use as a Christmas centrepiece since they bloom for four weeks straight.
Keep them in a somewhat damp, colder area apart from any heat sources if you want them to thrive. Make sure the soil remains damp and immerse the pot in water at room temperature; then, let the water drain. Typically, you should water them twice or thrice weekly.
Femininity, balance, kindness, and self-and other-care are some of the significant traits that azaleas symbolise, making them an ideal holiday flower choice.
An exquisite and one-of-a-kind option for holiday arrangements is Cymbidium orchids, which originate in the Himalayan woodlands. Because they are mountainous, they only bloom in the winter. Thus, Christmas is the best time to see them in all their glory.
Orchids are a beautiful addition to any bouquet because of their delicate flower spikes. Particularly lovely for the holiday season is the white variety, which provides a stunningly snowy appearance.
Cymbidium orchids' longevity is one of its many great qualities. You may use cut stems as Christmas decorations without worrying about them withering too soon since they can keep fresh for up to four weeks.
Red roses are not reserved for special events; they make a lovely addition to holiday bouquets, too. Their vibrant red hue is a great complement to the classic Christmas motif and adds a joyous air to arrangements. We like their typical Christmas appearance when combined with the season's verdant berries and golden foliage.
Red roses are not only beautiful on their own, but they also make a striking centrepiece for your Christmas table.
Red roses, once cut, will persevere in water for at least a week. Ordering flowers a few days before Christmas ensures that they will remain fresh and lovely after the holiday if you want to utilise them in your Christmas decorations.
