Grouping 7 Plants

Creating a well-balanced indoor plant grouping in a rectangular pot allows for a variety of heights, textures, and colors to be showcased. Here’s a suggested grouping with seven different plants:


Plant Grouping for a Rectangular Pot:

  1. Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata)
    • Care: Bright, indirect light; water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. Prefers high humidity.
    • Notes: The tall, broad leaves add a dramatic focal point to the arrangement.
  2. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
    • Care: Low to medium light; keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Prefers high humidity.
    • Notes: The dark green leaves and white flowers add elegance and contrast.
  3. Parlor Palm (Chamaedorea elegans)
    • Care: Low to bright, indirect light; water when the top inch of soil is dry. Prefers moderate humidity.
    • Notes: Provides height and a tropical feel with its feathery fronds.
  4. Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
    • Care: Low to bright, indirect light; water when the top inch of soil is dry. Prefers well-draining soil.
    • Notes: Trailing vines can spill over the sides, adding lush greenery.
  5. Fittonia (Fittonia albivenis)
    • Care: Bright, indirect light; keep the soil consistently moist. Prefers high humidity.
    • Notes: Adds a splash of color with its vibrant, veined leaves.
  6. Dwarf Snake Plant (Sansevieria 'Hahnii')
    • Care: Low to bright light; water when the soil is completely dry. Thrives in well-draining soil.
    • Notes: Compact and hardy, it adds structure with its upright, sword-like leaves.
  7. English Ivy (Hedera helix)
    • Care: Medium to bright, indirect light; water when the top inch of soil is dry. Well-draining soil.
    • Notes: Trailing and versatile, it adds movement to the arrangement.

Arrangement Tips:

  • Place the Fiddle Leaf Fig at one end of the rectangular pot to create height and draw the eye upwards.
  • Position the Peace Lily and Parlor Palm towards the center to create balance and fill in the middle section with lush greenery.
  • Add the Golden Pothos and English Ivy at the opposite end to allow their vines to trail over the edge.
  • Place the Fittonia and Dwarf Snake Plant in the front to add color and structure at the base of the arrangement.

Care Summary:

  • Light: Most of these plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. The Fiddle Leaf Fig and Parlor Palm need the most light.
  • Water: Keep the soil evenly moist for the Peace Lily, Fittonia, and English Ivy, while allowing the Snake Plant and Golden Pothos to dry out between waterings.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity: Peace Lily, Fittonia, and Fiddle Leaf Fig prefer higher humidity, so consider misting or placing a humidifier nearby.
