You normally send flowers to a hospital to cheer up someone who has been ill for quite a long period. You may also do it in order to celebrate a birth. However, in these cases, certain considerations need to be taken into account. If you have any doubts in this regard, it would be better to call the hospital straight away and speak with the ward where your loved one has been put up. As far as the medical aspect is concerned, there are some specific suggestions that you would have to follow in these cases. There are some flower restrictions that you have to know and adhere to as well.
To use a vase or not
There is no doubt that you should be using a vase in these cases. You should do it irrespective of where you buy the flower from – from a physical store or an online one. You should always ensure that your flowers are arranged in a vase, pot, or a gift box rather than sending them in a standalone bouquet. Hospitals are not exactly florists and it may not be always possible for the nurses to look for vessels in which they would put the flowers that are intended for the patients.
Send flowers that have fewer or no allergens
If you are not sure regarding the flowers that your intended beneficiary may have an allergy to it is better to stick to flowers that are either non-allergic by nature or have almost negligible allergens. Experts at boutiques for online flower delivery agree that this is even more important when your patient is in a room with other patients. Apart from the other patients, the flowers can have a bad effect on the doctors and nurses as well. The best options in these cases are tropical flowers such as the following:
• roses
• snapdragons
• iris
• gerbera daisies
• chrysanthemums
• tulips
• orchids
• anthurium lilies
Avoid flowers with strong fragrances
Normally a person may like to have certain flowers in his room. However, the very same flowers could turn out to be too much for the senses in a hospital room. These rooms are normally small and have little by way of air ventilation. If someone is not keeping well a strong smell coming from one or more flowers could prove to have an even worse effect. You should also keep in mind the fact that your patient may be sharing a room with others as well.
Where should you send it?
Before you send flowers for a patient, it is always better to ask how long he would be staying in a hospital. In case it is just a common fever the person may not be there in the hospital for more than a week. However, if it is a complicated situation the stay could be extended to a month or even more than that. This is why before you decide to send flowers for someone it is always better to ask his family or near and dear ones regarding how long he would be holed up in the hospital.
Focusing on the colour
A lot of research has been done over the years regarding the kind of effect that colours have on us. It is said that they have an effect on our emotions and moods as well. They also impact our various senses such as the sense of uneasiness and the sense of well being to name a few. They have a say on the amount of energy that we have on our bodies and the way that it flows. This is why while sending flowers to patients always choose bright and vivacious colours.
