PAIRING & COMBINING

COMPANION PLANTS

​

Combining plants is usually a planting habit that gardeners do when preparing a garden.  This same practice if adopted, it can become a habit to plant more than one plant in a pot, making your flowerpot a potted garden.  In color climates where plants require warmer temperatures and higher humidity, it is best to grow plant indoors.  Houseplants flourish when the gardener provide the plants’  need for a healthy growing plant.  In most homes and business offices, people plant a single plant in a planter, although, you can combine several plants into the flowerpot.  There are, of course, a few rules of thumb about houseplant container mixing.  The key to success in this endeavor is to combine companion houseplants that suit one another.  Keep in mind the rules of thumb about houseplant container mixing is that all the  houseplants planted in one container should share the same growing conditions. 

Grouping plant in a container can makes a statement, including the combination becomes a focal point.  Certain plants combined will add accent colors in a room, tall plants grouped together draws the eye upward, different leaf textures and colors add drama, and trailing plants create movement making an otherwise lonely plant a work of art, adding spark

to the room.
