What houseplants grow well together in one pot?

If you love indoor plants but have a problem with space for pots, then there is a great solution - grow your favorite plants in one planter. This is ideal for many growers as it helps to see several plants growing at the same time and saves space for flower pots. Get 3 rectangular plant pots and you can grow up to 9 different plants. Let's look at the right combinations of plants that will be comfortable together.

7 perfect combinations of plants that can be grown in one pot

If you want to grow several plants in the same pot, there are a few guidelines to keep in mind. Remember that all plants that you collect in one pot should equally receive the necessary lighting, water and complementary foods. You also need to maintain contrast and balance, i.e. simple plants or low growth types, leafy plants. Also, you should think about the right choice of colour so that the plants complement each other beautifully.

Perhaps you have your own creative ideas on how to combine several plants in one pot, but we offer our solutions:

1. Lime Pothos, Episcia and Calathea

This is a great combination of plants that have large leaves and small delicate flowers (Episcia). Plant them in the same pot and ensure proper watering, lighting and spraying because all 3 plants are tropical. Consider the approximate size of these plants to choose a more suitable pot. It is important that all three plants are comfortable in terms of the growth of the root system of each of them.

2. Kalanchoe, Arrowhead and Peace Lily

This combination of plants is very easy to care for because all three species are unpretentious. World Lily can delight you with its bloom, these are elegant white flowers that share their sophisticated aroma. With proper care, you can observe the flowering of Kalanchoe. And Arrowhead looks really cool thanks to its spiky leaves. When growing such a combination, you need to remember that they are toxic to animals. Arrowhead is toxic even to humans, so place the pot of these plants higher.

3. Monstera Deliciosa and Heartleaf Philodendron

Both plants are climbing but Monstera is larger, depending on care it can grow up to 3 meters in the house. The second plant is not so large but it has beautiful bright green leaves that look like hearts. By combining these two plants, you will get an original green composition that will refresh any room. A big plus of these plants is that they are picky to care for, so even a beginner can take care of them. The appearance is amazing; you can grow such a combination even in the office.

4. Pothos, Philodendron and Spider Plant

You will be surprised how easy these three plants are to grow, especially when they grow together in the same pot. Each of them looks very beautiful; you can create a real jungle atmosphere in your home. Their peculiarity is that they relieve indoor air of dangerous toxins. There are many varieties of Spider Plant so you can create great flower arrangements.

5. Yucca, Snake Plant and ZZ Plant

This is quite a popular combination of plants because they look very beautiful. But the plus is that all plants do not require careful care and are unpretentious to the requirements for growing. The Snake Plant has elongated sharp leaves and resembles Mother-in-Law's Tongue. Yucca lifts its arrow leaves up from the main thick trunk. The leaves of ZZ Plant reflect the sunlight and draw out toxins from indoor air. This composition will be an excellent choice for office rooms.

6. Firecrackers and Table Ferns

There are a lot of fern lovers out there, let's pair them up with these beautiful colourful firecrackers. This combination will delight your home because it will make the atmosphere more comfortable and fresh. Firecrackers give unusual flowers that can crawl out of the pot and lower their stems down. Choose a suitable place considering this moment. The fern will give lush leaves and it is unpretentious in care. If its leaves begin to turn yellow, then you should think about its more careful care.

7. Graptosedum California Sunset, Tradescantia, Aeonium and Mother of Thousands

You can try growing 4 plants in one pot; just make sure everyone has enough space in the ground. You will like the combination of these plants due to the fact that they do not take up much space and a small angle on a window or table is enough for them. It will be convenient for you to carry such pots because they are not heavy. All 4 plants are unpretentious in care but create an amazing composition that resembles living stones. You can grow this in the office because all plants don't require heavy watering every day.

Try growing other combinations of plants as well. Examples include Prayer Plant, Waffle Plant, Pink Dracaena and Black Cardinal Philodendron. There are many plants that are easy to care for so you don't have to worry about them dying quickly. You will cope with their care and get great pleasure.
