When your plants are thriving and they are potted

in pots that suit your interior decorating style, what
else can you do to make them look their best and
have the most visual impact in your home?
Try any of these simple (but magic) tricks:

Create a plant gang

The number-one advice for anyone who owns more

than four house plants is to gather them in a group.
Think of them as you would when you take a family
photo: the taller ones go in the back, the children in
the front. Pair a spiky cactus with a leafy banana plant,
a patterned Calathea, a bushy Dracaena, and a deep
red Oxalis triangularis for an interesting mix.

And remember the famous styling trick: Uneven

numbers work best when displaying several items
together.

Play with height

A potted plant may look all right on the ground, but if

you place it on a stool or a pile of books or magazines,
it acquires more height and instantly becomes more
impressive and jungly. Create a room divider by placing
your plants in a plant stand or legged plant boxes.
Especially tall, vertically growing plants, like Sansevieria,
have nice room-dividing characteristics.

Group plants by type

If you love cactus plants, create a little cactus area with

all your potted cacti instead of scattering your cacti
around your home at random. Maybe you’re a fan of
tropical aroid plants and have quite a collection.

Place them on a round coffee table in their favorite spot

and add your misting device. Pairing plants with similar
care needs makes taking care of them so much easier,
too.

Add color

Not a fan of green? Have a look next time you are in a

plant shop: There are quite a few plants that come in a
variety of colors such as burgundy, pink, red, white, or
orange. Create a colorful scene at home with all your
non-green plants.

Plants with outstanding colors include Croton,

Oxalis triangularis, Begonia rex, Caladium, Fittonia,
Philodendron ‘Pink Princess,’ Tradescantia zebrina or
T. pallida, Hypoestes phyllostachya, Echeveria ‘Purple
Pearl,’ Coleus, Gynura aurantiaca, and Aglaonema ‘Pink
anyamanee.

Build a botanical throne

When your plants are taken care of, it’s time to enjoy
their presence and relax: Find a corner in your home
and surround your favorite lounge chair with some
oversize plants, and keep adding plants until it feels
jungly. Then add a coffee table, your favorite drink, and
a good book, and sit back and chill. You deserve it!
