How to choose plants
Living vs decorative
Decide if you want a living plant or a decorative object. Living types are seeds, trees, and kits.
Decorative materials
Decorative options sit in home and garden with materials like plastic or velvet.
Colour match
Match the colour to your scheme. The range covers green, white, red, pink, purple, yellow, blue, orange, brown, and black.
Space check
Check your space. Trees need ground room, while kits and some home and garden items fit a windowsill.
Time to enjoy
Think about time. Seeds and trees reward patience, home and garden gives immediate effect.
What's good
- Seeds give you the widest colour choice, from blue and orange to brown and black. You control what grows in your garden.
- Trees offer a permanent structure, with options like maple or bamboo for different looks. They suit larger outdoor spaces.
- Plant and herb growing kits bundle starting materials together. Beginners get everything needed in one go.
- Home and garden items include ready made pieces in gold, silver, or velvet. You get instant colour without waiting for growth.
Things to watch
- Seeds take time to show results. They are wrong for anyone needing quick blooms.
- Trees demand space and ongoing care. Balcony owners should look elsewhere.
- Growing kits can tie you to the included seed or material mix. You sacrifice variety for convenience.
- Home and garden pieces made of paper or velvet are decorative only. They will not grow or change with the seasons.
