Decorating with plants is a wonderful way to spice up any interior room. I consider these live specimens a great addition to blend in the colors of flowers and foliage with other accents, wall tones, and accessories.

There are so many different varieties of live specimens to choose from, as well as a large selection of colorful pots and containers that will fit well in your living space.

One of the most important aspects of selecting inside flowers or foliage is to make sure they are not poisonous to humans or animals. There are some species that can be harmful to children and domestic animals.

Notice this artificial tree with ornaments hanging throughout the tree. Here is a great option for your interior plant theme, placing Spring Flower Ornaments throughout an artificial tree.

There are other ornaments that will work with this and other theme base rooms. A simple idea that creates a great accent in any room.

A first step is to plan an area that will suit your plants. Know what plants need full sun and what can ones can take filtered sun light or shaded areas.

This funky fish planter is awesome as it has a duel purpose. Use it as a planter or you can display a bottle in. Great for beach, tropical, and nautical themes.

Some people that live in apartments or condos run into the problem of not having enough sunlight in rooms. Know what light requirements are needed for the specimens.

Watering your plants is very important and getting on a watering schedule is as important inside as it is outside. Watering and lighting constitutes healthy indoor specimens.

Another aspect to think about is what type of heat, air, and humidity you have in your living space. Each of these factors affect a plants growing patterns and health. Learn about each indoor plant you have or want to purchase. Washing the leaves of some specimens helps with keeping the plant looking nice.

The interior floor planter is a great accent for any room. There are many styles to choose from. With all the different colors available today, you can easily blend in a floor planter with your wall foundation color.

If you have carpet, tile, one piece, or hard woods, compliment your floors with matching tones from the planter.

Ceramic is a nice option for an interior room. If you have whimsical, tropical - beach, or camping-cabin theme, there are many different planters available for you.









The next two planters are unique and I think each of them represent a great theme to any room. I just love the shoe planter and can be done by cutting holes in the spots where you want the plants to go. I recommend putting something underneath the shoe to protect your floors. Herbs or flowers will add a lot to the shoe, and also your decor.

The Tortoise planter is one of my favorites. I collect tortoises as it is a symbol of my online business. The tortoise planter can be put on the floor, or accent or accessory table. Notice the flowers in the planter, you could easily do herbs, cactus, or a small upright evergreen shrub. Create a little magic with using your own personality.

Once you have chosen your flowers or foliage specimens, decide if you want to place them near a window with an accent table or in decorative stands or containers.

Sometimes this can be a challenge to find the right styles to blend in with your other decor, as well as the right size.

Below are three simple illustrations of a few ways you can position your pots or containers.

This example shows you an option of using an accent table and positioning five containers in a row. Depending on your room and light requirements, this would be ideal in front of a window. Notice how I have five containers.

Remember to use odd numbers and if you don't have the room for five, use just one or three. If you use one, add a couple of other small accessories to balance the accent table.

This next sample shows you a triangle form using to stands and a small accent table. This is a great way to incorporate a little bit of an outdoor garden design inside.

There are different options for you to consider when doing a triangle form. Put three stands in the triangle form. Play around with different formations until you see the result that will best suit your room.

The last illustration is of a couple of different ways you can arrange your pots. This can be done on an accent table, on a shelf, in decorative stands or containers, or a combination.

The five series shows you how to stagger the containers to give the accent some character. I like the idea of using different specimens that will add some zest to the room. A kitchen with and odd number of herb specimens is great not only for cooking, but also for a natural setting. You can also use spice plants in pots.

Artificial Palm Trees can also accent your rooms. These colors can compliment live plants as well.

There are so many different possibilities using indoor plants to create a wonderful accent to your rooms.

From the large foliage specimens such as a Rubber, Blue Ginger, to a Spider or Philodendron, the vibrant leaves will add so much to any interior decor. The flowers from an African Violet, Gerber Daisy, or Christmas Cactus can blend in with so many color schemes.

Plants add so much to an interior room and a great addition to your decor. If you have any questions on what specimens to use or arranging them, feel free to contact me and I would be happy to help you out!
