Perfect Succulent Art-Pot Pairings

Two basic design principles will help you create perfect succulent art-pot pairings.

From my book, Succulent Container Gardens: “Contrast and repetition are the two most important design elements. When these are used effectively, the results are remarkable. Contrast jolts and engages; repetition comforts and soothes…Repetition hearkens back to our preschool years, when we were given an assortment of items to group, like with like. Even as adults, we feel a sense of satisfaction in identifying items that are similar and enjoy discovering them in our environment.”

Repeat and contrast colors, textures and forms—it’s as simple as that!

My YouTube video, Tips for Perfect Succulent Art-Pot Pairings, is a must-see if you’ve ever wondered which succulents to choose for a container—especially art pottery. Follow my guidelines in this 3-min video, and you’ll be amazed at how polished and perfect your plant-pot combos will be!
