1. Vertical and Container Gardens from Succulents

A composition of succulents has long been popular with decorators and florists. They are often seen as part of wedding bouquets. These plants require no special care and look beautiful when combined with each other.

To create a mini-garden, you will need a small aquarium, planters, and a regular fruit box. For wall-mounted vertical compositions, you need a wooden container and a mesh frame. Then fill the container with soil or moss and plant the succulents.

2. Spring Bulbs

In spring, bulbous plants in pots appear in stores that refresh and enhance a plain interior. Fresh arrangements of hyacinths, daffodils, and tulips add softness and comfort to a room. Flowers can be used to decorate a dining table, dresser, or newspaper stand.

Already sprouted bulbs can be bought early at a hypermarket or planted by hand in vases, planters, wine glasses, or buckets. The plants will look elegant even in a regular IKEA plate.

3. Mini Garden

Rosemary and basil are aromatic spices and excellent indoor plants at the same time. If you decide to create a herb composition, it's better to unite all the greens in it under one common concept. For example, use identical planters and paint them with school board paint, then write the name of each plant on small labels.

Herbs in metal planters and wooden boxes also look stylish. In fact, you can grow a lot of edible greens in home conditions:

• oregano;
• fresh dill;
• coriander;
• onion;
• mint;
• spinach;
• ginger;
• asparagus.

4. Original Planters

Planters give your plants a completely different look than simple clay pots. Orchids, aromatic herbs, vines, and succulents look elegant when hung from the ceiling with their roots facing up. Several planters turned upside down can be combined with a ceiling light fixture.

5. Glass Vases and Aquariums

Choosing the right shape for a flower pot is crucial for interior greening. The most unconventional solution would be to use an aquarium or glass vase instead of a classic planter.

A vibrant and non-traditional accent in any room will be a micro-ecosystem inside a glass form. It is especially highlighted by ferns, mosses, trailing and spreading plants, as well as spring flowers and succulents. Supporting decor elements include wood chips, sawdust, and sea stones. Additionally, colorful aquarium substrate can help achieve a beautiful effect.
