Four Layers of Indoor Planting: From Ground Cover to Trailing

An indoor garden with plants arranged in ecological layers. The top layer consists of one to two tall trees with canopies over three meters high; the middle layer has several shrubs and large-leaf plants about one meter tall, filling the eye-level space; the bottom layer is dense groundcover and ferns, covering the soil surface almost completely; climbing and trailing plants fall from above, connecting the layers. The leaf shapes, textures, and shades of green in these four layers differ, creating a deep green with depth. They are planted in a single continuous planter rather than individual pots, making it look like a small, true understory environment. Light falls from a skylight above. Avoid: planting plants in separate individual pots, making all plants the same height, exposing large areas of bare soil, using artificial plants.

一個依生態層次配置植物的室內庭園。最上層是一到兩株高大的喬木,樹冠在三米以上;中層是數株一米左右的灌木與大葉植物,填補視線高度;最下層是密集的地被與蕨類,覆蓋土面幾乎看不見泥土;還有攀爬與垂墜的植物從高處落下,連接上下。這四個層次的葉形、質地與綠色深淺都不同,層層疊疊形成有深度的綠。它們種在同一個連續的植栽槽中而不是各自的盆器裡,因此看起來像一小片真正的林下環境。光從上方的天窗落下。避免:把植物分別種在獨立的盆器中、讓所有植物的高度相同、露出大片的裸土、使用人造植物。
