Announcing Interior Design with Decorative Plants 2017

It’s a chaotic world we live in. However, there is a place where we each can find the solace and sanctum necessary in our daily lives; and that is the home. But, the home is only as comforting and rejuvenating as we design it.

We all crave comfort in simple things like Netflix and a good wine, but what’s more comforting than finding yourself surrounded by lush green nature? Bringing the outdoors in with decorative plants has rapidly become the latest design trend in interior design. It shows no sign of slowing down.

Revitalize with Green

Reflecting this desire to be surrounded by nature is the highly acclaimed Pantone Color of the Year in 2017 – happened to be Green. “Greenery is meant to represent refreshment and revitalization – something we all could use in a complex social and political environment”, according to Pantone. But for those who aren’t ready to repaint their living room walls green just yet, you have options. The simplest, most effective and organic way to achieve a refreshing and greener home is to simply incorporate living plants into it.

The trend of incorporating plants into homes and offices has taken the design world by storm and consumed everything from Pinterest to Elle Décor. Notable people incorporating plants into their interior and architectural designs start with talk show phenom Ellen Degeneres and her green paradise studio set. It continues to the world-renowned Swiss architecture firm Herzog & Meuron, who are currently constructing the Beruit tower designed entirely around its exotic planted terraces.

A Pink Princess Philodendron isn't the plant you want to experiment on with a pair of dull scissors and no plan. Between the price tag and the fact that its pink coloring can be a little unpredictable, it's fair to feel more cautious cutting into this one than you would a pothos. The good news is that propagating a Pink Princess is genuinely simple once you understand the one thing that trips most people up: the pink pattern on your cutting isn't guaranteed to look exactly like the parent plant.

If your plant hasn't put out a new leaf in a while, or the leaves it is growing are small, pale, and spaced far apart on a stretched-out stem, it can feel like it's just stalled for no reason. It's not. Slow or leggy growth is almost always your plant telling you something specific, and once you know what to look for, the fix is usually simple.

If your Monstera's new leaves keep coming in solid, round, and nothing like the dramatic split leaves you've seen on other people's plants, you're probably wondering what you're doing wrong. Likely nothing. Leaf splitting, technically called fenestration, depends on a handful of specific conditions coming together, and when even one of them isn't quite right yet, your Monstera will keep producing solid leaves until it is.
