The benefits go beyond beauty, as proven by wellness studies
CARPINTERIA, CA, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The Overgaag family of Westerlay Orchids has a farming story that started generations ago - now they are sustainably producing over 4 million orchids annually. The popularity of orchids is a reflection of their beauty and connection to those who own them. National Indoor
plant Week celebrates the vital role of live
plants in indoor environments. They are more than just decorations; they purify the air, reduce noise levels, produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and help us stay connected to nature. The orchid is perhaps the ultimate indoor plant - its elegance, long life, and cascading blooms set it apart.
“For many reasons, orchids are a treasured part of people's lives; they hold a special place in any home. We like to say that every orchid has a story, given from daughter to mother, to celebrate a special anniversary or to bring light to a sad day; orchids are living reminders of bonds between people, and they have proven to be good for wellness too,” says Westerlay president Toine Overgaag.
5 Reasons to Gift an Orchid to Yourself or a Loved One this National Indoor Plant Week:
1. Durability. Orchids can live up to 2-3 years if cared for properly. Along with their blooms lasting several weeks to months. Westerlay's simple mission is to grow the most stunning and highest quality orchids, adopt a "flask to finish" approach, and meticulously select premier orchid varieties worldwide. Beauty, elegance, and individuality. The gentle cascading blooms of the Phalaenopsis Orchid are a work of art.
2. Elevated style for less. A simple orchid on a side table is classic and makes a statement cost-effectively.
