Texture and Form Don’t underestimate the impact of different leaf shapes and sizes. Pairing fine, feathery foliage with broad, rounded leaves adds visual interest. Consider the overall growth habit of each plant.

Light Requirements This is crucial for plant health! Ensure all the plants in your chosen combination thrive in the same light conditions (full sun, part sun, or shade).

Water Needs While not always a strict requirement, pairing plants with similar watering preferences will simplify your care routine.
