Top House Plants & Bouquets for Every Dublin Home – Expert Tips from Oasis Florists
September 25, 2025
Fresh flowers and living plants have a way of transforming any space into a sanctuary. In a busy city like Dublin, adding greenery and seasonal blooms can lift your mood, purify the air and make guests feel welcome. At Oasis Florists Terenure, our hand‑picked plants and hand‑crafted bouquets are designed to “bring beauty and warmth to life’s simple moments. This guide explores the best house plants and bouquets for Irish homes, how to care for them and where to order them locally.
Why house plants and bouquets matter
Beyond being decorative, plants and flowers offer real health benefits:
Air purification: Plants remove pollutants and release oxygen, improving indoor air quality. Our plant range is selected to “eliminate air pollutants” and is “hand‑picked by our florists”.
Mood and productivity: Studies show that greenery boosts concentration and reduces stress. A vibrant bouquet on the table can lift your spirits after a long day.
Local gifts: Flowers and plants are thoughtful gifts for birthdays, sympathy occasions, new homes or simply to say “thank you.”
Keeping these benefits in mind, here are our top recommendations for Dublin homes.
Best house plants for Dublin homes
We offer a variety of easy‑care plants that thrive in the Irish climate. Each is delivered across Dublin with same‑day options when you order before 10 am.
Ficus Elastica (Rubber Plant)
This striking plant features large, glossy leaves and a tall, architectural form. It’s ideal for bright corners in living rooms or offices.
Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Allow the top 2 cm of soil to dry between waterings. Over‑watering can cause leaf drop.
Care tip: Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust so the plant can breathe.
Known for its graceful white blooms, the peace lily is one of the best air‑purifying plants. It tolerates low light, making it perfect for apartments or offices.
Light: Low to medium light; too much sun scorches the leaves.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. The plant will droop to tell you it’s thirsty.
Bonus: Produces elegant white flowers several times a year.
Aloe vera is both decorative and practical. Its fleshy leaves contain soothing gel used for skin irritations and burns, and it’s a great starter plant for beginners.
Light: Needs plenty of indirect sunlight; a bright windowsill is ideal.
Water: Water sparingly—let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Care tip: Use a cactus or succulent mix for good drainage.
The Monstera Deliciosa, often called the cheese plant, makes a striking statement with its broad, split leaves. It’s low‑maintenance and perfect as a house‑warming gift.
Light: Thrives in indirect light; avoid harsh midday sun.
Water: Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. Over‑watering can cause root rot.
Height: Usually reaches 50–60 cm in height when potted.
Flowers allow you to change the look of a room instantly. Our bouquets are hand crafted, hand delivered and guaranteed to last. Here’s one outstanding bouquet available on our site that offers timeless elegance:
Oasis Premium Bouquet
This luxurious, large‑scale bouquet is crafted from premium seasonal blooms in soft whites and pastels. It’s designed to make a statement and is ideal for weddings, anniversaries or elegant home decor.
Style: A hand‑tied arrangement featuring roses, hydrangeas and other seasonal flowers.
Colour palette: Creams, blush pinks and green accents for a sophisticated look.
Ordering tip: Because this bouquet uses the best blooms of the season, pre‑order at least five days in advance to ensure availability.
How to pair plants and bouquets for maximum impact
Combining live plants with fresh flowers adds layers of texture, colour and height to your décor. Here are some ways to create balanced arrangements:
Contrast heights: Pair a tall plant like a ficus with a low bouquet on a coffee table or console.
Coordinate colours: Choose flowers and pots that complement each other—e.g., white blooms with green foliage for a serene look.
Mix fragrances: Combine a scented bouquet with neutral‑smelling plants like aloe or monstera. Avoid overwhelming the senses with too many competing aromas.
Create zones: Use plants to frame seating areas and place bouquets as focal points on dining tables or kitchen counters.
Care tips to prolong freshness
Taking proper care of your flowers and plants ensures they remain beautiful for as long as possible:
Flowers: Trim stems at an angle before placing them in water, change the water every two days and keep bouquets away from direct sunlight or radiators.
Plants: Follow the light and water guidelines above. Fertilise lightly during the growing season and wipe leaves to remove dust.
Environment: Both flowers and plants prefer stable temperatures and avoid drafts. Use the flower food sachet provided in your bouquet to nourish the blooms.
