Planning Your Indoor Garden
Before purchasing plants, assess your space. Consider the light levels in different areas, your available floor and shelf space, and your lifestyle. A busy schedule calls for low-maintenance plants, while plant enthusiasts might enjoy more demanding species.
Creating Visual Interest
Mix plants of different heights, textures, and colors. Use tall floor plants as anchors, medium plants on shelves and tables, and trailing plants for height variation. Odd numbers (groups of 3 or 5) tend to look more natural than even groupings.
Choosing the Right Containers
Pots are part of your decor. Match containers to your interior style - terracotta for bohemian spaces, sleek ceramics for modern rooms, woven baskets for natural looks. Varying pot sizes and shapes adds visual interest. Always ensure proper drainage.
Display Ideas
Hanging plants draw the eye upward and save floor space. Plant stands create vertical interest. Floating shelves become plant galleries. Group plants on a bar cart for a mobile garden. Create a living wall with mounted planters. Use windowsills, bookshelf corners, and bathroom counters as plant homes.
