Indoor plants are often potted individually, but it is possible to experiment and plant multiple types together. This not only helps to mimic the forest environment most of them come from (they don’t live alone in the wild!) but can also make a unique display and fit more plants into a small space – so you don’t have to choose just one!
Of course, you need to combine plants that have similar soil and light requirements to ensure they all thrive equally and provide them with enough water and nutrients, so they aren’t constantly in competition.
