Basically, many houseplants have their own natural jewelry. In addition to flowers, there are many other ways to beautifully showcase greenery in your home. Usually just a few simple steps are enough to create an attractive look. Are you looking for suggestions? This article will help get your creative side going.
How to make houseplants decorative?
Decorate houseplants beautifully with seasonal elements, changing the substrate, decorative elements for flower pots, letting plants grow on objects and colorful plant pots. Pay attention to the vitality of the plant and give it enough room to develop.
What to pay attention to?
The most beautiful decoration remains ineffective if the plant's vitality suffers from the decoration. As before, make sure to use a sufficiently large pot, not to expose the houseplant to too much moisture and to give it enough space for its leaves and shoots to develop.
Beautiful decoration ideas for houseplants
Seasonal decorative elements
One of the easiest ways to draw more attention to your houseplants is to use ready-made decorative items. It's best to adapt these to the seasons. For spring, for example, plugs with butterflies (€15.00 on Amazon), ladybugs or other signs of spring are suitable.
An autumnal arrangement is created by decorating the flower pot with colorful, dried leaves and chestnuts. Christmas balls or angel hair create a winter atmosphere. Decorating a poinsettia is particularly easy if you dust the leaves with glitter powder.
Replacing the substrate
The classic potting soil is easy to care for, but looks very boring. For a change, layer small pebbles or white sand on the substrate. However, make sure that the soil does not become compacted and that the nutrient supply to the roots is not hindered.
Decorative elements for the flower pot
A mini indoor fountain goes perfectly with houseplants that grow in hydroponics, i.e. thrive in clay granules instead of soil. This also saves you a lot of work when watering. The splashing also has a calming effect.
Grow objects
In this case, the houseplant itself becomes a decoration. Plants with long shoots can be used in an incredibly versatile way, for example in hanging baskets. Alternatively, a pretty trellis serves as a decorative climbing aid. With a little skill you can weave the shoots together. To do this, use a small spool of thread and do not tie the branches too tightly.
Colorful mix
Small flowers, on the other hand, look particularly good in pastel-colored plant pots. Use several colors at once, such as sky blue, lemon yellow, soft pink and mint green. Grouped together, they create a colorful mix that puts you in a good mood.
