A shaped tree: form over foliage

An indoor plant that serves as the focal point of the space, where its shape is more important than its greenery. It is over two meters tall, with clear and asymmetrical branch lines, and sparse leaves allowing gaps between branches to be seen, such as an olive tree, a Japanese maple, or a pruned banyan. It is planted in a plain, unglazed ceramic or concrete pot, placed directly on the floor. Positioned in the best-lit corner, its leaf shadows are cast on the plain wall behind. Avoid: placing multiple plants, using dense, dark green, large-leafed plants, using flowering ornamental plants or artificial plants, placing the plant in a location without light.

一株作為空間主角的室內植物。它有兩米以上的高度,枝幹的線條清楚且不對稱,葉子稀疏可以看到枝與枝之間的空隙,例如橄欖樹、雞爪槭或一株修剪過的榕。種在一個素面的粗陶或水泥盆裡,直接放在地上。位置在光線最好的角落,葉影投在後方的素牆上。避免:擺放多盆植物、使用茂密濃綠的大葉植栽、使用開花的觀賞植物與假植物、把植物放在照不到光的位置。
