Do you have more than one house plant? If you do, you might be keeping them in different areas of your house, when you should really let them live and grow together.
Here’s why you should group your indoor house plants!
1. Keeping Plants Together Provides Additional Humidity
Plants, generally, like to live outside in their natural environments. And those environments tend to be more humid than your house. When you group plants together, you create a slightly more humid microclimate for them to grow in.
This happens because plants release moisture through their leaves. The technical term for that is transpiration.
If you have a serious collection of plant babies, the best thing to do is group plants together based on their humidity preferences. For example, you can keep succulents and cacti (who generally like lower humidity levels) together in one area and aroids (who like higher ambient humidity levels) together in another place.
2. It Helps You Provide Good General Care for Your Plants
Keeping your plants together also helps you help them! For example, when you group plants based on their watering schedules, it’s easier to water all those plants at the same time without forgetting anyone.
You can also group your plants by their environmental needs like light, temperature, and pet-friendliness. It’s easier to monitor and adjust things in your house for one area rather than multiple.
3. Grouped Plants Elevate the Overall Aesthetic
Lastly and most importantly, grouping your plants elevates your space! A room with many plants has a certain aesthetic you can’t get with only one plant.
The key to grouping plants with design in mind is having variety—in size, textures, and type.
