Many friends bring carefully selected green plants home, hoping to enhance the home atmosphere. However, due to not knowing how to arrange them, these plants not only fail to play a beautifying role but instead make the home look more cluttered. Today, I'm going to help you avoid common mistakes and share some super practical tips for arranging green plants.

**TV Cabinet and Sofa Area**: Never symmetrically place two identical large plants on both sides of the TV cabinet or sofa. Doing so not only lacks variation in height but also makes the already limited space appear more cramped and narrow. It blocks the light, making the home dim.

The correct way is to place a large plant only on one side of the corner, and other plants can be scattered at positions such as the balcony, the living room tabletop, and the dining table. Through clever design, a triangular composition can be formed in the large space. In this way, no matter which corner of the room you are in, you can enjoy the lush greenery, and the cozy atmosphere can be easily enhanced.

**Cabinet, Tabletop, and Windowsill Area**: When placing green plants on cabinets, tabletops, or windowsills, avoid choosing plants of the same height and size. Such an arrangement without any sense of hierarchy is even less appealing than placing a single plant alone.

It is recommended to select three plants of different heights (high, medium, and low) for combination, and at the same time, match them with decorative items such as cups and photo frames. Through such a carefully designed combination, it not only adds vitality to the space but also makes for great photos with just a casual shot ✨.

**Living Room and Study Area**: Many people make mistakes when placing plants in the living room or study by choosing overly lush plants, such as large Ficus microcarpa (Money Tree) or Pachira aquatica (Fortune Tree). Although these plants are popular choices for housewarming gifts, in an ordinary family house with limited space, placing them by the window will seriously block the light, making the room dim, and the whole space will look extremely crowded.

In fact, for the living room or study at home, it is sufficient to choose a plant with a height of 1.5 to 1.8 meters and not overly dense branches. Plants like Dracaena reflexa (Song of India) and Schefflera octophylla (Umbrella Tree), not only have auspicious names but also have the characteristic of sparse branches, which can make the space more transparent and instantly enhance the high-end feel of the home.

**Storage of Small Tabletop Plants**: Many novice plant enthusiasts start with beautiful small tabletop plants. However, as the number of small plants increases and they don't know how to arrange them, they can only pile them together, looking messy and greatly affecting the aesthetics.

Novice plant enthusiasts might as well try to buy a flower rack that matches the home decoration style. Even if they don't know much about the skills of arranging green plants, as long as they neatly place the small plants on the flower rack, they can make the home look brand new and achieve a good decorative effect.
