Planting flower bowls – combination of color and texture
- Orchidee Phalaenopsis
- Bergpalme (Chamaedorea elegans)
- Common Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum hair-spring)
- Gerunzelte Peperomie
Think in advance where you want your flower pot in the garden to be. If the background is extravagant like in this example, an extravagant arrangement should also be chosen so that your flower pot planting does not get lost. With such a striking arrangement for the indoor planters, it is best to use a simple container that does not stand out from the plants.
Flower pots in red and green
- Kalanchoe with red flowers
- Didymochlaena trunculata
- Copper spice
- Louisianamoos (Tillandsia usneoides)
This arrangement also fits his background. This is a wallpaper with green and red colors. The red-flowering Kalanchoe is combined with three green plants. Fern and Kalanchoe are planted in the back because they grow taller than the other two specimens. Geometry is also used: plants that grow vertically are planted with those that grow horizontally. The diagonal line that is created is unconsciously followed by the viewer's eye.
Creatively planted flower bowl with succulents
- desert cabbage (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora)
- Agave “Spaghetti Strap”
- Peperomia "Hope"
Succulents are easy to care for and are always pretty to look at thanks to many different species in a wide variety of colors and leaf shapes. Their attractive textures make colorful bloomersFlowers in the arrangementeven unnecessary. Proof of this is also the example of planting you see above. Three levels are created using hanging leaves and horizontally and vertically growing plants.
Glass planters for indoor greening with air plants
- Glass planter
- Tillandsia hopeful
- Louisianamoos (Tillandsia usneoides)
Air plants are undoubtedly pretty to look at and are very popular when it comes to designing planters because of their ease of care. They are available with a wide variety of leaf colors, including not only green and red, but also silver and pink. In addition, there are pretty flowering periods that make the already attractive plants even prettier. They love warmth, regular humidification with the help of a spray bottle and fresh air. Since they grow in trees and other high areas in the wild, you can also hang them on the ceiling or wall indoors. They look particularly good in glass containers. The indoor planter arrangement shown above is a combination of an air plant with red, narrow leaves and Louisiana moss, which contrast in color.
Plant flower boxes in spring
- blue hyacinths
- large daffodils
- small daffodils
- pink tulips
- Traubenhyazinthen
- Moos
If you have a garden, you have probably planted some spring flowers that decorate your outdoor area every year. But if you don't have a garden, you don't have to miss out on the colorful signs of spring! They grow and bloom very well even in containers. It doesn't matter whether you choose boxes, tubs or pots. The main thing is to plant the taller specimens in the back and the smaller ones in the front. Flower bulbs are usually available very cheaply during the season. But pay attention to quality when purchasing. Once you have planted the bulbs, cover the potting soil with a little moss for a particularly fresh look.
Planters as interior decoration
- Kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana)
- Farm hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla)
- Goldtüpfelfarn (Polypodium aureum)
- Decorative oregano “Kent Beauty”
This arrangement is also very pretty to look at. The oregano and the farmer's hydrangea have delicate pink flower colors and are therefore simple and elegant at the same time. You can create a contrast with the Kalanchoe. You can just as easily match your flower color to the others and choose a more subtle pink or white. It is also recommended to combine two vessels together, as was done here. The plants can be placed in a box, flower pot, plant trough, flower pot or in a plant bowl, which can then be placed in another container. In this case, a metal basket tray was chosen. The homemade arrangement is beautifully framed in this way.
Plant flowers in a moss basket
- Star hydrangea 'Shooting Star' in blue
- Saumfarn (Pteris ensiformis)
- Frauenhaarfarn (Adiantum peruvia)
- climbing fig (Ficus line up)
Feel free to choose a natural-looking model like this moss-covered flower pot. Artificial moss is usually used for such indoor planters, but it still blends in nicely with the actual flower and plant arrangement in the pot. The delicate blue flowers of the hydrangea stand out wonderfully amidst the greenery and create a romantic look. Since the arrangement consists largely of vertically growing plants, it can be placed on a narrow side table or stool.
Plants in a stone flower pot
- Philodendron 'Red Dragon'
- Dreimasterblume (Tradescantia spathacea)
- Peperomia
straight lines inmodern and monochrome furnishingsA pretty arrangement of green plants can be a beautiful eye-catcher and accent. Blooming flowers are not absolutely necessary. Colored leaves or those with an interesting shape are enough to spice up a simple interior. A flower pot with a stone look or a natural material can adapt to the interior.
Planting pots, boxes or flower pots – ideas and pictures
- Echeverie
- Stapely
- Kalanchoe
- braided sansevieria (S. cylindrica)
- Kanonierblume (Pilea glauca)
- Dreimasterblume (Tradescantia spathacea)
- Hechtia (Hechtia bromeliad)
- Rhipsalis
- Speckbaum (Portulacaria afra)
- Cryptanthus
- Wachsblume (Hoya)
Large flower pots or boxes can be decorated with a larger number of plants because there is enough space there. The result is a colorful anddiverse arrangement, which enhances any interior. The mix of different succulents also makes the composition particularly easy to care for and therefore the perfect choice for beginners. It's best to choose simpler planters inside when opting for such an arrangement of lush and varied textures.
A colorful mix of colors for the pot
- Eliator-Begonia
- Bromelie in Orange
- Fittonie
- sword fern (Nephrolepis elevated)
- Louisianamoos (Tillandsia usneoides)
In addition to green, orange is the main color in this flower and plant arrangement. This not only comes in the form of flowers, but also in the colorful basket, which serves as a planter and is also filled with moss. Since both the begonia and the bromeliad have quite large leaves, the fern breaks up the look and creates a balance, while the fittonia provides a certain contrast.
Combine colorful flowers and natural planters
- Daffodils
- Sword fern
- Primroses in red, yellow and pink
- Common ivy
You can use a simple container if you want to combine several colorful flowers. This was also used in this idea for the design of the planters, which is also ideal for the spring season. But primroses often bloom indoors in winter, so you can get bright colors even during the cold season. First plant the primroses in the pot. The remaining plants then serve as gap fillers to make the arrangement more lush. Finish with the ivy.
Plant subtle pots – ideas to imitate
- white anthurium
- Mexican mountain palm (Chamaedorea elegans)
- piston thread (Aglaonema sp.)
- Common ivy
For a subtle arrangement, green plants can be combined with light and dark leaves as well as white flowers. The white anthurium is great for this. A color accent can be added if you choose the red flamingo flower. The planting idea is great for underlining modern and simple interiors, with the simple white and green tones having a calming effect. A contrast that doesn't catch the eye too much is still created with the help of the darker leaves amidst the brightly patterned ones.
Flower pot garden in glass
- Mini-Orchids
- Saumfarn (Cretaceous Pteris)
- Gerunzelte Peperomie
- Common worm fern
- Moos
Plants and flowers in the glass are not only beautiful to look at and are particularly highlighted due to the unique container. In addition, exotic plants that are used to and require high humidity feel particularly comfortable there. Because moisture builds up in the glass after watering. To prevent waterlogging, it is recommended to first apply a layer of gravel. Distribute activated carbon for aquariums over it. The final step is potting soil and you can start planting.
In addition to the plants from the list, you can also use succulents, Kalanchoe, moss or African violets to create such indoor planters. Water sparingly to avoid waterlogging and do not place the container in direct sun. Because just as moisture accumulates in it, so does the heat. If the plants become too large over time, you can easily trim them. It is best to use a cork base where you want to place the glass container.
Arrangement in a flower pot in silver or gold for elegance
- milk stars (Ornithogalum doubt)
- Pink garden hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla)
- sword fern (Nephrolepis sp.)
- Echeverie
- Common ivy
While the green plants take up the front and lower areas in this composition, the flowering specimens are used for the height and are particularly highlighted in this way. The result is a natural look that would also appear in the garden, with the orange and pink of the flowers complementing each other wonderfully. You can vary the flower colors if you prefer to use other colors.
A touch of orange
- Guzmanie in Orange
- Kalanchoe in Orange
- Didymochlaena truncatula
- Rotschleierfern (Dryopteris erythrosora)
The orange colors in this planting variant are not only achieved with the help of the flower colors. The red veil fern also turns its leaves a pleasant shade of orange. An optical illusion is created in a sophisticated way. The massive plant pot is concealed with the help of the long Guzmania flowers, as this draws the eye upwards. In order to create an even transition, the other low plant species were used as filling material.
Natural-looking arrangement in a moss pot
- Star hydrangea
- Mexican mountain palm (Chamaedorea elegans)
- Pineapple flowers/ crested lily (Eucomis)
- decorative oregano
- Frauenhaarfarn (Adiantum hair-spring)
A green moss basket is the perfect planter for this assemblage of pottery plants reminiscent of a natural forest landscape. The basket imitates the forest floor and forms the lowest of the four levels. This is followed by fern and oregano, from which the pretty flowers emerge. This flower arrangement looks particularly great against a simple wall. A perfect decoration for every room that will amaze everyone!
Plants in the terrarium
- King Begonia (Rex begonia)
- Fittonie
- Moos
Here you can see another variant in the glass. You can also get moss while taking a walk and then spread it on the bottom of the container. The rest can vary. If you have a glass jar that has an opening, you will reduce the risk of mold growth. However, it also needs to be watered a little more frequently. In any case, a planted terrarium is nice to look at.
Green and white
- white anthurium
- Blechnum Farn
- Louisianamoos (Tillandsia usneoides)
You can also see from this example that simple is sometimes the better choice. On the one hand, only a small number of plants are used and on the other hand, neutral plant colors such as white and green. Pay attention to how the plants and more specifically the white leaves of the anthurium harmonize with the white plant pot. You can also achieve such an interaction with other colors, as you already saw in the example with orange above.
