Big Beauty, Small Space: A Guide to Large Plant Pots
Plants breathe new life into any indoor space, and knowing the right size pot for your plants can help keep them looking their best all year round. Oversized pots have risen in popularity due to their ability to instantly elevate interior spaces. Learning how to integrate large indoor plant pots into your home is an elegant and simple way to create a luscious green space indoors.
Matching Plants with the Right Large Plant Pots
Large statement plants can add elegance and life to any room, but they need an appropriately sized pot to reach full potential. When designing your interior space, consider how different pot combinations add colour, texture, form and depth to the room.
It’s important to consider the colours and shapes already present in the space. Coloured pots that match hues found in the room or leaves itself will unite your interior design elements. In open areas, you can group large vertical plants with smaller ones to create intriguing, living art pieces that grow alongside you. Matching pot sets maintain harmony in groups by keeping styles consistent.
Styling Large Leafy Plants
Large, leafy foliage is popular for its ability to decorate big, empty spaces with beautiful greenery. One of the most popular examples is the ‘fiddle leaf fig’ with its green unicolour leaves and vertical height.
Large leafy house plants will often have smooth or mildly textured leaves. Luckily, this means you have a lot of room for being creative. You can experiment with pots that are uniquely shaped and have textured surfaces to bring out your plant’s rounded forms without being at risk of drawing attention from it.
Styling Highly Textured Leaves
Highly textured plants have leaves that might have spiky edges, contain multiple colours in different hues, or even large holes. One of the best examples is the monstera, with its swiss cheese-like foliage, popular for being low-maintenance.
Given the dramatic foliage textured leaves already bring to a space, it’s best to opt for simple pots that don’t draw attention away from the foliage. If you want to get creative, coloured or shaped pots are a great way to accent form and colour. A simple way to do this is to match the pot to a hue found in the leaves itself or in the room. Avoid textured pots if you can, as these can detract from or even compete with your textured houseplant.
Styling Tall Plants
Tall plants have long, bare stems or ‘trunks’, and begin forming leaves at the top. A popular example is the dracaena massangeana. Their lush, intriguing foliage create beautiful forms that instantly enhance a vertical space.
When styling, make sure that the pot balances out the top foliage. If the leaves are very bushy, a textured pot will balance it out at the bottom. Alternatively, a simple pot is better suited for slender leaves. Group with smaller or medium plants in a pyramid to add depth to an interior space and invest in lightweight, fibreglass plant pots so you can rearrange them easily.
