Adding plants to your home or office provides many benefits – they liven up the space, improve air quality, boost moods, and more But with so many plant options out there, how do you choose the right ones for your unique needs? When selecting Ambius plants for your indoor or outdoor landscape, size is one of the most important factors to consider Read on as I explain how size impacts your plant choices and provide tips for picking the perfect Ambius plants based on available space.
Why Size Matters
Size matters because it determines how well your plants will fit into the existing landscape. Choosing a plant that is too large or too small for the space can throw off the proportions and look awkward. When a plant has room to reach its mature size, it has the best chance of thriving. Consider the ultimate height and spread of Ambius plants when making your selections.
For example, a large Fiddle Leaf Fig would overwhelm a small entryway table, while a petite Succulent arrangement might get swallowed up in a grand hotel lobby. Make sure to account for future growth – that cute little starter plant may triple in size as it matures! Keeping scale and balance in mind results in an attractive, cohesive landscape.
Factors to Consider
Several factors come into play when selecting the right sized Ambius plants for your space
Function
How you want the plant to function in the space impacts size needs. A large, leafy plant can create a living screen, while low-growing plants work well bordering paths. Miniature tabletop plants bring pops of color to desktops without taking over.
Available Space
Carefully measure the area you want to place plants and look for options suitable for those dimensions. Also allow proper space between plants for growth. Ambius experts can help with exact plant sizing and spacing.
Growth Rate
Some plants explode with growth while others progress slowly. Know the maturation timeline so sizing is appropriate long-term. Quick growers like Birch Trees likely need more initial space than gradual growers like Agaves.
Lighting
The amount and quality of natural light should influence plant choice. Some require full sun while others prefer shade. Select plants suited for lighting conditions to ensure health.
Tips for Choosing by Size
Follow these tips for picking perfect sized Ambius plants:
- For living screens/privacy, choose trees or tall bushy plants like Podocarpus or Camellias
- For border edges, go with compact, low plants such as Liriope or Dwarf Yaupon Holly
- For splashs of color, mini plants like Cyclamen or Primrose are ideal
- Near windows, opt for medium/large plants that can handle ample sunlight
- In low light, choose smaller plants like Ferns or Philodendrons
- Check tag for mature size – don’t assume small starter = small plant!
- Unsure about sizing? Ask Ambius experts for recommendations.

FAQs about Ambius Plant Sizing
How do I know if a plant is too big for the space?
Consider the plant’s mature height and width – if it will eventually grow larger than the area allows, it’s too big. Also look at proportions compared to surroundings.
Should I choose a small or large plant?
This depends on the space and desired function. Small plants work well for desktops, while large make great living screens. Determine needs, then select size accordingly.
What if I’m not sure how much a plant will grow?
Always check the plant tag or do some research to find the mature size. Ambius specialists can also provide growth estimates to help guide selection.
What should I do if my plant outgrows its space?
Consider transplanting to a larger pot or area. You can also regularly prune the plant to contain its size. Another option is to replace with a more compact variety.
How often do I need to prune fast growing plants?
Pruning frequency depends on the plant and growth rate, but could range from monthly to annually. Ask Ambius experts for recommendations on specific plants.
No matter your space or needs, Ambius has the ideal plants to create your perfect living landscape. Let their team help select greenery that’s sized just right for your environment and goals. Your home or office will flourish with beautiful, healthy Ambius plants in harmonious proportions.
Pay attention to sun exposure.
When choosing plants for your landscape, it’s important to consider the amount of sun exposure your area gets throughout the day. Some plants thrive in direct sunlight, while others require more shade to flourish. Consider all areas of your landscape when making your decisions, as some areas may get more sunlight than others.
Look for native species.
Native plants are often the best choice for your landscape because they are already adapted to your specific ecosystem. These plants naturally resist pests and diseases, require less maintenance, and provide food and shelter for local wildlife. Planting native species can also help preserve your local ecosystem and promote biodiversity.
