Just as the boss tells a story with the food he prepares, a gardener can arrange his plants in pots and containers in an interesting way and give the indoor and outdoor areas a special flair. Gardening in pots and containers has increased in popularity in recent years and offers hobby gardeners and design enthusiasts creative and diverse options. Today we'll show you a few of them.
The plant pots can be easily moved anywhere and stored in the house over the winter. Although it is recommended for native plants to be planted in the ground (particularly those species that can survive the cold of winter and the heat of summer in your climate), container plants offer more flexibility. This also gives you the opportunity to experiment with different types of plants.
A grouping makes an expressive statement. Choose planters of the same color in different sizes for greater impact. Terracotta pots are perfect for citrus trees and herbs and exude a Mediterranean feel.
Arched hemp (Sanseveria “Moonshine”), echeveria and aloe plants were cleverly arranged in the ceramic bowls.
Tall planters can be used to define the boundaries of the terrace or to brighten up boring corners. Combining plant pots in different sizes and colors also looks particularly good. Two in gray and one in may green create a nice contrast here.
Arranging is a real art! We'll show you a few examples of how you can create plant arrangements like works of art yourself. Start by choosing the right container. As you can see in the picture above, a planter with a modern, sculptural shape can work wonders.
When it comes to grouping, choose those plant species with a variety of colors. The color palette in the picture above ranges from mint green to deep red.
Another interesting variant is to create a real miniature world in the planter. The plant arrangement above features gravel, rocks, minerals, driftwood and an assortment of plants.
When arranging, think about the height. You need a tall plant as a backdrop, a medium height plant as an accent and a ground cover or hanging plant as a gap filler. You can find out more about ithereexperience.
The environment also plays a role in plant selection. For example, this bowl of bromeliads inspires thoughts of a tropical paradise.
Once you start container gardening, you may find that you can't stop! It is definitely a leisure activity that would be fun. Perfect for your dream terrace.
