Best Strength

Encourage climbers to climb. Or conversely, allow them to hang downwards from a height, in which case many of them will attempt to fulfill their real function and will turn the ends of their long trails upwards in the most elegant manner.

For example, certain plants can be employed in the most practical manner to make a room appear to be longer or shorter, taller or squatter, lighter or darker. Plants can be used to bring out and highlight the beauties of a picture on the wall or to disguise a dreary view or a shabby piece of furniture. They can be so placed and trained that they act as a living screen or frame.

Vivid colours, yellow, orange, white and brilliant red are advancing. They come out to meet you and so tend to make a room appear to be shorter if placed at the far end. And conversely, dark colors, mainly greens of course, are receding and tend to look farther away than they really are, thus lengthening a short room. A tall rubber plant or fatshedera will make a room look higher, for the eye tends to follow the growth upwards, while a high ceiling can appear to be lower if horizontal growing plants catch the eye.

An impression of warmth is given if a wall is covered with the trained tendrils and shoots of a growing plant or if warm colors are used. And as might be expected, a hot summer day can be cooled indoors by the decorative use of cool greens, purples and dark colors in general.

Look at your plants carefully, determine their basic characteristics, shapes and habits and then utilize these to the full.

In general terms, plants in the home can be identified as climbers, trailers, bushes, sprawlers, spear-like and upright or sometimes a mixture of two of these characteristics.
