Houseplants are addictive, right? I know it’s not just me because my social media feeds tell me every day that you all feel the same way. Once you become a plant parent, it’s all too tempting to keep adding the next new and interesting variety to your collection - whether that's an easy indoor plant such as a pothos; the interior designer’s favorite fiddle leaf fig; or a variegated monstera - I have them all. But collecting them is one thing - knowing how to style your houseplants is quite another.
As with any other interior collectible - books, vases or contemporary wall prints, for instance - there is a difference between elegantly styled and just, well, cluttered. The thing is, houseplants need more than a beautifully-curated sideboard to stand out. They also require the right light, temperature and humidity conditions to thrive in a particular spot.
