Miniature potted plants give you a small garden on your desk
Who says potted plants can only grow in the garden? As long as there is sunlight and oxygen, potted plants can be placed anywhere in the home. Below, we introduce some miniature potted plants that, with a bit of clever transformation, can become a vibrant little garden on a table at home.
Style1 The natural flavor of the countryside
Elements: wooden basin, multi-layered plants
Wooden containers bring a very natural rustic flavor. Drill a drainage hole in the bottom of the wooden basin, then fill it with soil, and you can plant whatever plants you like. To increase the decorative effect, you can line the bottom of the wooden basin with a ring of moss and place a few pine cones. When guests are around, you can also add a bouquet of fresh cut flowers as an accent.
Style2 Mini jungle
Elements: copper flower pot, pebbles, green plants
A copper container paired with white pebbles creates a distinctive effect and also sets off the green plants more beautifully.
A combination of plants at varying heights is the prerequisite for ensuring overall beauty. Pay attention to regularly pruning the branches and leaves so as to maintain a beautiful shape for the plants, which can also promote their growth. To make a single potted plant form a more compact scene, you can place a tray underneath, then spread moss on the bottom to increase its beauty.
Style3 Old objects as flower vessels
Elements: tin bucket, red flowering plants
A simple potted plant can keep your outdoor dining table blooming all summer long.
Choose several kinds of flowering plants in the same color family and plant them together in an oval tin bucket, paying attention to a layered arrangement that is high in the middle and low around the edges. When dining, you can use a small tin bucket to hold tableware, which echoes the material of the flower vessel and increases the overall beauty.
Style4 Seasoning herb show
Elements: woven basket, herb plants
Herb plants are excellent partners for the dining table. Green plants such as mint not only bring visual enjoyment, but you can also pick a few leaves at any time to season food, and using them to decorate drinking glasses is also a great idea!
Before planting, spread a waterproof layer on the bottom of the basket, or you can directly place the plants in their pots into the basket.
Style5 Rustic stoneware
Elements: stone trough + succulent plants
Drought-tolerant succulent potted plants are very easy to care for. First mix a handful of sand and fine gravel into the soil to maintain drainage and provide better growing conditions for succulents. Then plant the small succulents you like into it. Choosing one or two varieties that can trail over the pot will give a better sense of layering, and inserting dry twigs and small bird ornaments further adds a sense of fun.
Style6 Accent with seaside charm
Elements: terracotta pot, shells + herbaceous plants, cactus
Find a wide-mouthed terracotta pot, fill it with potting soil, then plant two or three herbaceous plants in it, cover with a layer of gravel to create the feel of a seaside beach, and finally decorate it with shells and coral inside. A combination potted plant full of seaside rustic charm is then complete. If paired with a small wooden table that looks bleached white by the sun, the effect will be even more perfect.
Style7 Miniature cool waterscape
Elements: porcelain, decorative glass + aquatic plants
Using aquatic plants as material to make a combination potted plant is also a great idea. In just a few minutes, plant aquatic plants at varying heights in ceramic vessels and you can immediately create a serene feeling. You can buy some glass decorations from the flower market and spread them on the surface of the container to add a sense of coolness. Adding a crystal ball or a festive colored ball can further increase the highlights. Be sure to maintain a water level of at least 3 cm.
Style8 Small flowers add simple elegance
Elements: colorful plastic pot + white and pink flowering plants
Color coordination is the key to creating this combination potted plant. A green flower pot paired with plants in white and purple tones is fresh and full of vitality. In the evening, you can add a few candle cups, placed in the flower pots or beside the garden path, which not only provide lighting but also add a romantic mood.
