If the door is relatively small, then it can be placed in a corner or against a board wall, choosing a small and delicate potted plant.

Several small potted plants can be combined and placed together in a display stand, which will form a group beauty. Of course, some very exquisite potted plants can be placed alone in the stand, which can better highlight their beauty and also better exert their effect.
