You can also take pictures of garden life if you learn to make flower borders in pots.

The combination of potted plants is actually a "mini garden". It can stimulate the creativity of florists and is a great pleasure for horticulturists. It greatly increases the ornamental and artistic nature of plants, and compared with flower arrangement, the combination of potted plants is more dynamic, lasts a long time, and shows dynamic changes.

Today, through the editor's demonstration, we introduce two simple pot combinations: pot cover and container planting.

01

Sleeve basin

As we all know, its advantage is that it is convenient to change plants and is very suitable for beginners. When you are not sure whether the plant attributes are similar, try setting the basin first. It is not appropriate to change it immediately, and daily maintenance will be relatively simple. This method is also very suitable for scene building needs, and can achieve good visual effects in a short period of time.

02

Container planting

If we want to plant it in a container, we will have more problems to consider:

First, the plant properties are consistent, that is, the needs for light and water are similar, so it will be more convenient to maintain.

Second, the collocation of colors to determine the main tone, color matching and embellishment

Third, the collocation of levels, the selection of main landscape plants, landscape plants and pots.

Fourth, predict the flowering state and time of plants, and give some room for growth.

The combination of potted plants can play a lot of tricks, such as the matching of clothes and shoes, and the collocation of plants is also an art. Continue to recommend several summer heat tanning combinations.

Pattern combination

Section 1: Sedum Symphony

Plants: a cluster of brown leaf moss grass, a fruit orchid, a tuft of Rhodiola and a tuft of flowers and leaves, a pot of rhodiola and a pot of round-leaf perennial grass

The selected several kinds of sedum are more drought-resistant and sun-resistant, they will grow better in the sun, and the colors will be more gorgeous. Babao Sedum will also open pink flowers in autumn, which has a unique flavor.

You can match the plants before planting, and then make adjustments according to the effect.

The second Beauty Beach Bath

Plants: Chrysanthemum morifolium; two pots of Chaowu grass, two pots of red stem vine and two pots of Changchun, one pot of golden stone, one pot of bright red amaranth and one pot of cherry

The configuration of these plants is definitely the most seasonal scenery in summer. Several plants in the picture have the same requirements for sunlight and water, so it will be very convenient for nursing.

The unique color of the middle bright red amaranth brightens the hue of the whole combination of potted plants, while the silver morning fog grass is relatively soft, and the rectangular basin is very suitable for windowsill and balcony, collateral stone and vine Changchun, which will grow rapidly and the branches will hang down.

The premise of the combination is to first understand the plant, if you do not understand its habits, like Yin and Yang mixed together, there will always be a bad growth. For the balconies and corners facing north where there is less sunshine, they all like the cool and humid environment relatively. We recommend the following three, which can also safely spend the summer in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Shady plants generally do not bloom very brightly, so more consideration should be given to the comparison of leaf shape and leaf color in collocation.

Section 3: purple gas is planted in the east.

Plants: Hosta, Artemisia angustifolia, Coral Zhong, Ophiopogon japonicus

The coral clock of purple leaves is skillfully combined with hairpins of grasses and flowers and leaves, while Ophiopogon japonicus with slender leaves hangs naturally, making the whole potted plant vivid. This variety of Ophiopogon really has lavender flowers and a string of gorgeous sapphire blue fruits in autumn.

Section 4: bear's paw is free.

Plants: bear palm wood, Japanese coral, rye, Saxifraga

Listen to the name is very domineering, do not dare to snub, together is also able to get along harmoniously. The broad leaves of bear paw wood are very much like open umbrellas. The colors of rye and golden coral are very special, while Saxifraga, which likes the shade, will grow long trailing branches and more seedlings will come out.

Section 5: green leaves keep the meaning of flowers

Plants: Phnom Penh broad-leaved Ophiopogon, Changchun, ivy, Platycodon grandiflorum each

Platycodon grandiflorum is in bloom, and the dark blue flowers are particularly dazzling on the green potted combination. And the broad-leaf Ophiopogon japonicus and Changchun, without flowers, the color is also monotonous.

All the potted plants are planted and watered. Remember to take a group photo first.

DIY process

1. Prepare media, tools, pots and plant materials

Medium: the mixture of peat and perlite is recommended.

Slow-release fertilizer is also needed and can provide potted plants with fertility for a certain period of time. In the later stage, the appropriate topdressing was carried out according to the growth situation.

2. Design to compare the container with the plant you want to plant to see the effect

3. Remove the plant from the pot and try not to damage the root system.

4. Planting: you can spread a layer of light stone or ceramsite with large particles at the bottom of the pot, which is conducive to the drainage and ventilation of potted plants.

Cover the soil according to the needs of potted plants, you can also apply bottom fertilizer at this time, and the care in the later stage is even easier!

Plant one by one, which can be adjusted according to the effect of the site.

Finally, the gap of the plant is filled with medium and compacted.

5. Water thoroughly!

All right! The combination of potted plants is easy to understand and highly operable, which is suitable for both rookies and garden owners. Without a big garden, creating a small flower border can also be a pleasant surprise! Learn to remember to post pictures backstage, share your DIY process and finished products, and build it!
