Green is the only living element in a room. It softens harsh corners, connects indoor and outdoor spaces, and makes expensive materials appear less austere. Eichholtz planters incorporate brass, stainless steel, zinc, ceramic, and stone, in shapes that can stand as objects even without a plant.
The container matters more than the plant
An ordinary green plant in a good container looks better than a rare plant in a plastic pot. Therefore, it is worthwhile to focus on the planter. As a rule of thumb: The container should account for about one-third of the total height; for a 1.50-meter-tall plant, this means approximately 50 centimeters. Containers that are too small make the plant appear unstable, while those that are too large swallow it up.
Where green belongs
In the empty corner that no furniture fills, that is the classic application. Placed next to a sofa or a console table, a tall plant breaks the straight lines of the furniture. In an entrance, it transforms a passageway into a room. Light is important: Anything placed in a dark corner will perish, which is why artificial greenery is the more honest solution there.
Artificial plants without compromise
Good artificial plants are recognized by three things: leaves of varying sizes, visible stems with slight irregularities, and a matte rather than glossy finish. They should be placed in a real container, not the included plastic pot, and covered with soil, moss, or gravel. This makes the difference invisible from two meters away. Dust them with a dry brush or on a low setting with a hairdryer.
Outdoors and in commercial spaces
On the terrace, planters take on the role of walls: Arranged in a row, they structure an area and provide screening without closing it off. Together with outdoor seating groups and outdoor accessories, this creates an outdoor room. Frost-resistant materials and drainage holes are essential outdoors; in winter, non-frost-resistant containers should be moved under cover. More information can be found in the guide Eichholtz Outdoor.
