With over 20 different types of houseplants in my ever-growing collection, I'm very familiar with the task of rearranging plants until you find the perfect way to display them. Part of this includes pairing plants that not only work together aesthetically, but also support each other's growth.
Plenty of trial and error is required because styling your houseplants wrong could have detrimental impacts. For example, placing two plants susceptible to the same common houseplant pests could result in a fast spread through your entire houseplant collection. Or, you might pair two plants with completely different ideal growing environments, resulting in one thriving in a particularly sunny spot and another wilting from too much sun exposure, for instance.
