Do Vietnamese people send plants as gifts?

Yes, Vietnamese people do send plants as gifts, although it depends on the occasion. For example, during Tet, people often give kumquat trees, peach blossoms, or orchids because they symbolize luck, prosperity, and a fresh start. For housewarmings or office openings, a small indoor plant is also quite a thoughtful gift because it makes the space feel more lively. I know a little bit about growing plants, but I wouldn’t say I’m an expert. Basically, you need to choose the right soil, water the plant regularly but not too much, and make sure it gets enough sunlight. When I was young, I grew a small bean plant at school, and I remember feeling really excited when the first leaves appeared. At the moment, I keep a few plants at home, mostly low-maintenance ones like snake plants and money plants. I like them because they brighten up the room and create a calmer atmosphere. Also, taking care of them gives me a small sense of routine, which I find quite relaxing.
