Decorative Flora

At Lavida, you will find not only the prettiest blooms but the most realistic ones as well. The only way to know they are not real is by touching. Otherwise, they will look as beautiful as the roses or tulips that grow in nearby parks.

Flowerpots for Decorative Flora

Flower pots tend to have rustic designs and are most suitable for using in country-styled rooms or outdoor areas like your patio, gazebo, or as a centrepiece for picnic tables. Do not make the mistake, however, of using flowerpots for decorative flora for storing real plants or flowers. Flower pots that have been specifically designed for artificial or decorative flora rarely come with their own drainage holes. The material they are made of may also make it more difficult for real plants to enjoy the type of aeration or air circulation they need.

If you are truly convinced that the style of flower pot you choose is most suitable for storing real plants that you are caring for, you must drill in drainage holes in the base of the flower pot. The tools you will need will depend on what type of material the pot is made of. Moreover, you need to consider how much drainage your plant will need. Some plants only like their soil slightly moist while other plants thrive more if they have an increased supply of water to depend on.

Another way for you to use flower pots for real plants is by utilizing it together with a hydroponics system. Hydroponics use water instead of soil to carry nutrients to plants.

Vases for Decorative Flora

While flower pots are most suitable for outdoor use, vases for decorative flora are definitely more appropriate for indoor use. Vases are elegant in the way that most flower pot designs are not. They also have a wider variety of shapes, which can make them appear funky, sophisticated, and many other of things.

When choosing a vase for decorative flora, do make sure that it is the ideal height. If you use vases that are taller than usual, they become inappropriate as centrepieces and will be more effective as floor-based decor.

Choosing the “Species” of Decorative Flora

The nice thing about decorative flora is that you never have to wait for a flower to be in season before you are able to buy them. There many “species” of decorative flora available may not be as extensive as what you can enjoy from Mother Nature, but there is definitely enough for them to spoil you with choice.

When choosing which type of decorative flora to use, make sure that you take into consideration the room’s design as well as the season outside. You can aim for a beautiful contrast by choosing summer blooms like roses as centrepieces for dinners set in winter. You can, however, also choose to complement the weather by choosing spring blooms if winter is about to end and the sun is beginning to shine more and more.

Topiary Containers

Lastly, keep in mind that flower pots and vases are called exactly that because they are not meant to hold anything but flowers. If you have decorative trees or shrubs or other kinds of topiary, these should be all stored or mounted on containers that are specifically designed to handle their size and height.

Flower pots and vases can only topple over if your tree or shrub is too tall. They may even break into pieces if your decorative plant is too tall. So play it safe and only use the appropriate container for the appropriate type of ornamental plant.
