How to choose the right pot for your plant?

Plants are a great way to give your home an instant, fresh green makeover. But how can we make them look their best in our space?

 

Do you have any go-to tips or tricks for styling potted plants? I'm especially curious about how to match the right pot with the plant and any arrangement ideas.

 

Tagging @daniknight4, @GreenShoots, @LisasGarden, @pLethora@jaderein and @mich1972 - any thoughts to get us started?

Re: How to choose the right pot for your plant?

Hi @Akanksha

 

I LOVE succulents! They are super easy to style because so many can go together as most have the same care routine. Start by selecting a pot that has great drainage as they are prone to root rot. I add rocks to the bottom of my pot to add extra drainage. Plant the larger succulents in the middle or towards the back of the pot, with the smaller succulents around the edges, I especially love Sting of beans and String of pearls as they will cascade down the sides. 

 

Bunnings did a great video on it too: How to make a succulent bowl
