How to master sXe ance) Chm AEC Horticulturist Melissa King on how to create eye-catching displays with potted plants tyling your pots with a creative Serer of plants is far more exciting than growing one plant in one pot, plus it brings striking colour and texture to any space. If you're looking to combine plants together in pots, use the Thrill, Fill & Spill technique! To get started, let the perfect pot inspire your planting combination You can create a coastal oasis with Northcote Pottery Villa Pots in Sand (as seen above) or let terracotta pots shine with a collection of Mediterranean-style plants. Choose a pot that's around 40-50cm in diameter to allow room for planting. You can also choose a ‘family’ of pots in the same style but in different heights and sizes, allowing you to fill a larger space and really make a statement. The perfect potted combo needs the perfect potting mix. For a healthy, long-lasting potted display, start with Scotts Osmocote PremiumPlus Superior Potting Mix. This mix contains everything your potted plants need to flourish, such as wetting agent, water-storing crystals and coir, which aids in moisture and nutrient retention. THRILL First choose a “thrill” plant. It's the star of the show: a plant that is bold and interesting, with a bit of height. It should be positioned at the back of the pot. Spiky cordylines or strappy leafed plants often make good thrillers FILL “Fill” plants are smaller and rounder in shape and help fill out the container beautifully. They are like the supporting cast, providing contrasting form to the taller thriller at the back. SPILL Complete your potted picture with the perfect “spill” plant. This is a trailing or groundcovering plant that cascades over the edge of the pot, creating a lovely balanced look.
