A green, elegant and carefully studied detail: it takes little to embellish the whole environment. As a matter of fact, if matched with the right pot, a beautiful plant has the power to increase its charm and release it around it.
Paolo, a professional flower arranger and master of Italian style, has created six combinations designed to enhance the beauty of both the plants and the pots that house them.
They are elegant and impactful combinations, despite their essential simplicity: they match colours and materials able to create an all-Italian flavour.
Ideas to get inspiration for your garden: immerse your fingers in soil and let your creativity do the rest.
Refined and full of delicacy
With its large white “petal” that wraps like a hood around a central spadix, the Spathiphyllum is joy for the eyes.
The plant is combined with a high and flared pot, which balances and enhances its sinuous lines.
The complement we chose is maritime pine bark, which is not only embellishing the creation, but it also retains moisture. In any case, there is total freedom on the aesthetic complement; it is a very resistant and adaptable indoor plant, so aesthetic choices depend only on the effect you want to create with your composition.
…like the pages of a book
Housed in a magnificent terracotta pot with an antique effect, the Caladium stands out in all its beauty. The pot we chose is large and allows the plant to properly develop its root system.
The Caladium is an indoor plant; even if it produces flowers, what is really noteworthy are its wonderful leaves.
The unique terracotta colour perfectly matches with the green of the large heart-shaped leaves, which, when they open up to life, produce a particular noise: as if you were flipping through the pages of a book.
A flash of joy
Yellow, pink, red: Kalanchoe flowers make the eyes smile.
They are succulent plants that have changed according to our climate; their flowers are not only beautiful to see, but they can also last for a long period of time, more than three months. They need little water, which makes them interesting also for those who do not want to dedicate a lot of time to their plants.
We chose a simple and essential terracotta bowl, whose special colour perfectly matches with the bright green of the leaves. Finally, the vegetable substrate increases the topsoil porosity.
