Avoid having some plants block the light of others.
Reduce sore throats by allowing ventilation.
It's not just a question of placing the pieces where they come from, but rather of creating a thoughtful composition, with feeling and balance.
Classify your plants by type
Grouping the plants for their characteristics facilitates their care and highlights their beauty.
Plantas de sol vs. shade plants
Plantas de sol (such as cactus, succulents, lavender): located near windows or balconies.
Plantas de sombra (such as helechos, calatheas, zamioculcas): perfect for more obscure rincones.
Separating them helps keep them in proper condition without one being damaged by the other.
Plants with similar needs
Group plants that are frequently needed (tropical).
Keep aside those that require little water (succulents, cacti).
This avoids excesses or spills of water when running in a group.
Plantas ornamentales vs. edibles
Ornamental plants should be in the most visible spaces of the house.
Edible herbs (albahaca, mint, romero) can be grouped in the kitchen or in the kitchen, where they can be taken and used frequently.
Organizing by function also improves the usability of the home.
Organiza por tamaño y altura
This is one of the most visual criteria for distributing plants. Create harmony by playing with the hills.
Large plants
Place them directly on the floor, in the corners or next to the lower muebles.
Perfect for auxiliary tables, also repisas or lower cabinets.
Examples: sansevieria, drácena, anthurium.
Plantas pequeñas
Ideal for desks, desks, windows or decorative displays.
Examples: cacti, succulents, small herbs.
Plantas colgantes
Salads at high heights, repisas floating or colgadas de el techo.
Examples: potos, hiedra, cadena de corazones.

Smart organization compensates for the lack of square meters.
