Crafting a Stunning Floral Planter: The Thrill, The Spill, and The Frill

To craft a stunning floral planter, aim for the overall floral design to occupy about ⅔ of the planter’s size. Incorporate the following elements: the thrill, the spill, and the frill.

1. The Thrill: Utilize a tall centerpiece to anchor your arrangement and provide height. This could be a striking floral or foliage specimen that serves as the focal point.
2. The Spill: Select plants that will gracefully cascade over the edges of the container, adding a sense of movement and softness. These trailing plants will beautifully complement the overall design.
3. The Frill: Fill in the remaining space with plants that add texture, volume, and color to the arrangement. Ensure that these filler plants harmonize with the other elements to create a cohesive and visually pleasing composition.

Consider placing old plastic bottles at the bottom for larger vessels before adding soil. This technique creates pockets for water drainage, promoting healthier plant growth. Remember to coordinate the colors of the plants to enhance the beauty of the arrangement further.
