There’s no easier, quicker or more affordable way of brightening up an interior space than by filling it with a few carefully selected plants and trees. There’s an indoor plant for any style of home – Victorian or Edwardian, minimal and modern, mid century or otherwise. And workplaces always benefit from a little oxygenating greenery!
When selecting plants, even for indoors, you do need to consider which species will thrive best in the space – observe the light and temperature conditions, and consider moving plants from winter to summer to optimise natural light but protect from harsh heat. In general, it’s a great idea to cluster multiple species, paying attention to variety in height and texture.
Plant vessels are another key consideration – aside from the way a plant pot looks, it’s worth considering how it will hold water. Pots without a hole in the base are handy for containing water and protecting timber floors (!) – instead of repotting your plant, simply place the plastic pot inside the other, and consider raising it slightly on a couple of pebbles to avoid waterlogging.
Self-watering pots can be handy (we like these), and of course when budget permits we love pots made or painted locally! Some of our favourite local makers creating gorgeous pots include Bridget Bodenham, Tara Shackell, Sophie Moran, Wingnut and Co, Anna Forsyth, Amy Leeworthy and Pop & Scott.
Indoor plant stockists in Melbourne include Loose Leaf, Glasshaus and Mr Kitly. In Sydney, try The Plant Room – readers based in other states and cities, please share your favourite plant purveyors with us!
