Plants: Few and Large, Placed in Light

A set of plant arrangements in a Nordic interior. The quantity is small—three to four plants—but each one is healthy and graceful: a rubber tree or fiddle-leaf fig almost touching the ceiling, placed by the window in the best light; a medium-sized Monstera in another corner of the room; two small succulent pots and a herb on the windowsill. The pots are simple, plain ceramic or woven baskets, in off-white and terracotta colors, not stealing the show. Because of the short daylight hours in the north, plants are placed where they can get the most light, rather than according to decorative composition. Leaves are clean and in good growing condition. Avoid: using a large number of small potted plants clustered together, placing plants in dark areas far from windows, using high-saturation plastic pots and artificial plants, making plants appear leggy and weak.

一組北歐室內的植物配置。數量不多——三到四株,但每一株都健康而有姿態:一株接近天花的橡膠樹或琴葉榕放在窗邊光最好的位置;一株中型的龜背芋在房間的另一角;窗台上兩盆小的多肉與一株香草。花盆是簡潔的素色陶盆或編織籃,顏色是米白與陶土色,不搶戲。因為北方日照短,植物被放在能拿到最多光的地方,而不是依照裝飾的構圖決定。葉片乾淨、生長狀態良好。避免:使用大量的小盆栽堆在一起、把植物放在遠離窗的暗處、使用高彩度的塑膠花盆與人造植物、讓植物顯得徒長瘦弱。
