Planter Makeover with new plants and arrangement

After emptied the remaining soil, gravel and activated charcoal were added to the base. This was to create a porous foundation for the pot. Then, Syngonium was carefully transported to the new pot. and positioned it to the desired height and angle. At this moment, the plant won't be standing firm as its roots were not stable. You can use support elements like rock/ stilt to stabilise it.

Repotting challenge

Assignment: It was an orchid home before turning barren. We were assigned to repot with the existing ceramic planter.  This pot will be placed indoor with some indirect natural sunlight. 

Concept/Solution: In order to accentuate the height of the geometric patterned vase, we propose Syngonium.  This beautiful arrow-shaped foliage plant do not like direct exposure to sunlight. Hence, they thrive better under low-to-medium light condition. 

As for the remaining pot, we potted fittonia in various shades of green and red. The surface was later covered with coloured pebbles as a final touch. 

Maintenance: Water the pot once in 2-3 days. Allow the soil to dry out partially between watering. If left dry for too long the lower leaves will dry up and turn brown.

Special Care: Dust/clean the leaves every fortnight to free them from dust accumulation/ bugs attack. It would also help a lot to mist the plant as often as possible with water.
