Creating a Bonsai Lover’s Garden: A Guide to Arranging Plants According to Different Criteria

If your houseplant collection is growing ever bigger, and you’re running out of ideas of where to put them, then you’re well on your way to creating a plant room. No, you don’t need to make space for 350 plants to make a green apartment oasis like some of the most enthusiastic collectors. But a room, lit cabinet, or space on a wall filled with tropical plants can make you feel like you’re walking into a lush haven. It also means everything is together for watering and managing humidity levels.

To create a plant lover’s paradise, consider grouping species based on their needs, the conditions you can offer, and complementing shapes, textures, and colors

    Vertical gardening is on-trend right now. So, when you’ve limited floor space or want to keep your plants away from curious kitties, why not hang them all from the ceiling? That’s exactly what Laura did. She successfully combines her love of plants and antiques by hanging the plants alongside quirky vintage pieces, like an old penny farthing.

    There are plenty of trailing, vining houseplants to choose from, depending on the light and heat you can offer.

    If you’ve got a brown thumb and don’t know where to start, why not try some plants from the pothos family?

    Laura cleverly upcycled a vintage drawer cabinet to display her collection of pothos and trailing philodendrons, and she still has some drawers for storage. Lift out these easy-to-care for plants to allow you to give them a thorough watering when they need it.

    Fill Your Bathroom with Humidity-Loving Plants

    Steamy bathrooms are perfect places to gather a collection of humidity-loving plants. This little microclimate might negate the need for humidifiers or frequent plant misting (which some plant experts aren’t sold on anyway).

    When choosing the best houseplants for your bathroom, avoid succulents and try moisture-loving ferns, bromeliads, or begonias instead.

    If you’re one of those people who rarely use their dining table and enjoy a TV dinner more often, then using the available space to top up your plant collection makes sense.

    It also means you can raise any plants that might be risky to pets, like Gemma Askham‘s dog, Diego.
