Florist tips
1. When choosing flowers, commensurate them with the area of rooms. Place large copies in free large rooms. For smaller rooms, buy small plants. Remember - the quantity will not replace the quality. Choose for large rooms 1-2 large or 4-5 small colors.
2. Consider when choosing the rate of plant growth. So from a small cuttings in a couple of years can grow a huge liana or tree, a place for which is not enough( ficus, cordillin, abutilone, monstera).
3. Instances with nondescript or small flowers should be collected in groups. Create a miniature community of succulents, cacti or low-growing crops with decorative foliage. Groups are better formed from closely related species( different varieties of violets, begonias, ferns).
4. Instances with bright foliage or rather large ones should be located separately from others. They will attract the eye - to serve as a compositional center. Note that some plants are able to change the spatial perception of rooms. Cordillins and dracaenes create a sensation of high ceiling, and ampel plants with drooping shoots visually lower the ceilings.
5. Make low podiums for a group of colors. You can make them from glass, plastic, wood, ceramic tiles or other available material. Plant the plants at different levels. Do not forget about pots and pendants for ampel plants.
6. In kitchens and in rooms with northern windows, use unpretentious types of lighting( chlorophytums, senpolia, gloxinia).In the kitchen you can make a small plantation of spicy aromatic cultures( laurel, rosemary, hyssop).Rooms with very small windows decorate with such unpretentious plant as filodendron climbing.
7. Choose plants with different growth patterns: direct growing, ampel, curly and ground cover. Create contrasting compositions. The brightest and most spectacular flowers are placed in the middle, and the less prominent ones are placed around. They will paint with their leaves the beauty of the central flower.
