Some plants love company and can be put together very nicely in a pot. It looks nice, they reinforce each other and keep diseases and pests at bay. We call this companion planting, or combination planting. But which plants are good to combine? What should you pay attention to?
Companion planting is the art of strategically pairing plants to maximize their beauty and growth potential. This method is widely used in gardening, but florists and wholesalers can also benefit from these techniques to create arrangements that last longer, look more vibrant, and remain healthy over time.
For example, some plants naturally deter pests, while others provide essential nutrients to their neighbors. Certain flowers even have complementary fragrances that enhance each other’s scent, making them perfect for bouquets and displays.
As a florist or flower wholesaler, companion planting is a game-changer. It allows you to:
Create visually harmonious displays by pairing complementary plants.
Extend the life of cut flowers and plants by ensuring they thrive together.
Offer sustainable, eco-friendly arrangements that require fewer chemicals and preservatives.
Boost fragrance and freshness by selecting the right plant partners.
