Large Solitary Specimen: A Tree Indoors

A truly large plant is grown indoors. Its height exceeds four meters, reaching close to the ceiling, with a distinctly thick and curved trunk, and a crown spread diameter of over three meters, forming a walk-in canopy of leaves above. It is not a decorative potted plant, but rather planted in a ground-embedded planter flush with the floor, with complete drainage and soil depth at the bottom, appearing to grow out of the building's ground. Directly above it is a skylight providing direct light. People can walk around it and sit beneath it. The rest of the space appears secondary because of this single plant. Avoid: using multiple small potted plants instead, placing the plant in a visible pot, using artificial trees, making the plant's scale disproportionate to the space.

一株真正大型的植物被種在室內。它的高度超過四米,接近天花板,樹幹有明顯的粗細與彎曲,樹冠展開的直徑超過三米,葉片在上方形成一片可以走進去的樹蔭。它不是放在盆裡的裝飾,而是種在一個嵌入地面、與地坪齊平的植栽槽中,底部有完整的排水與土壤深度,看起來像從建築的地面長出來的。它的正上方有一個天窗提供直射光。人可以繞著它走、坐在它下方。空間的其他部分因為這一株而顯得次要。避免:使用多株小盆栽取代、把植物放在可見的盆器中、使用人造樹、讓植物的尺度與空間不相稱。
