The east facing window

What combination can use gentle morning sun?

6 individually potted plants. Select any photograph to open that plant's existing guide.

Placement and growing conditions

Why this group works here.

Introduce morning sun gradually and inspect how long it reaches the pots. Place the smaller flowering plants where they avoid a sudden hot reflection, and keep trailing stems clear of blinds. Water each pot according to its own medium rather than treating the window as one watering zone.

The message behind the grouping

Meaning, with a little thought.

The group can be read as a fresh beginning: several small details open around a light canopy and familiar crop foliage.

Arabian Coffee Tree
In this design: conversation and attentive work.
Glossy leaves link a growing display to a familiar crop; a decorative plant is not a promise of a useful harvest.
Dwarf Umbrella Tree
In this design: connection and shared effort.
Its radiating leaflets make a rounded counterpoint to upright furniture and linear shelves.
Mistletoe Fig
In this design: curiosity and small discoveries.
Choose a compact specimen whose rounded leaves can be appreciated close to eye level.
African Violet
In this design: affection and attentiveness.
Keep the small flowering rosette accessible for gentle watering and protection from harsh direct sun.
Small Flowered Moth Orchid
In this design: careful celebration.
An airy flower stem adds detail without a heavy pot, provided its bark medium is watered independently.
Goldfish Plant
In this design: playfulness and curiosity.
A short trailing outline brings movement at shelf level while remaining clear of work surfaces.

Another place to begin.
