What flowers should I send when visiting a patient?

Carnations are the first choice

Of course, carnations are the best choice because they look warmer, not as dazzling as roses, nor as fragrant as lilies. Carnations are very suitable for regulating the patient's mood and making him feel relieved. They also have the most appropriate meaning and are the best choice for giving to patients.

Send a flower basket or a bouquet

Usually patients in the hospital do not have containers prepared to hold flowers, so you should be careful before sending flowers. You can also choose to send a flower basket, or change the way the bouquet is wrapped.

In addition, it is recommended to send a delicate small flower basket. The color of the carnations should be pink, and the number of stems should be 24 , which represents peace in all seasons. Green leaves are of course indispensable. The matching flowers can be selected as Huangying, which is the flower of happiness. If you add some dianthus, it will be perfect.

Before visiting a patient, ask him/her if he/she is allergic to pollen. In addition, some patients do not like flowers, so you should find out his/her preferences and physical condition before choosing what flowers to send. When you visit a patient and send him/her flowers, you can also bring some fruits. This combination is beneficial to the patient's physical recovery and can better reflect your care and love for him/her .

Taboos of sending flowers

Avoid sending white, blue or black flowers. As the patient's mood is extremely complicated, be careful to avoid misunderstandings when sending flowers when visiting the patient. Try to give the patient flowers that he or she likes or those that are more colorful. Never give white, blue or black flowers. Also, be careful about the numbers that should not be given as gifts: 4 , 9 , and 13 .

You can also choose carnations, roses, daffodils, orchids, etc., and match them with asparagus fern, baby's breath or lycopodium to wish you a speedy recovery.

When visiting a patient, do not give him a whole pot of flowers as a gift, lest he misunderstand that the illness is long-term and has become serious. Flowers with strong fragrance are not good for surgical patients as they can easily cause coughing; flowers with too bright colors can irritate the patient's nerves and cause irritability; camellia flowers are prone to dropping buds and are considered unlucky.
