How many plants is too many? A key question for any plant lover. After all, there’s nothing like adding a few green friends to your home to bring it to life. But let’s be honest—sometimes it can get out of hand! Let’s explore how to make sure you don’t go overboard with your indoor plants.

Too Many Can Be Too Much!

It goes without saying that having too many plants in your home can be overwhelming and even distracting. If you have too much foliage, it can become hard to navigate around your house and take away from the beauty of each individual plant. The key is to find a balance between enough plants so that they make an impact but not so many that you feel overwhelmed by them.

Think About Size & Location

When considering how many plants you should get, think about the size and location of each one. Are you putting small succulents on top of your bookshelf or big fiddle leaf figs in your living room? Make sure that no matter where you put them, they fit comfortably within the space and won't take up too much room or block other decorative elements in the room. It might also be helpful to create a mental map of where each plant will go before actually putting it there so that you have an idea of what the end result will look like before committing to buying anything.

Your Own Style Matters

No one knows your own style better than you do—so make sure that whatever type of plants you choose match your aesthetic preferences and overall vibe of your home. If you prefer more airy spaces, then stick with smaller plants like succulents or cacti rather than large leafy ones like rubber trees or ferns. On the other hand, if you want something more lush and inviting then opt for larger tropical looking varieties such as palms or fiddle-leaf figs instead. Whatever style speaks most authentically to you is what should guide your decision when determining how many plants are “too many” for any given space.

Ultimately, deciding how many indoor plants is "too many" comes down to personal preference and aesthetics—so take some time to really think about what kind of vibe works best with what kind of plant! Whether it's four small succulents on a bookshelf or one giant monstera in the corner—make sure what ever number of plants makes sense for YOU is ultimately what matters most! With a little bit of planning and thoughtfulness, we know that anyone can find their perfect balance between having just enough greenery in their home without going overboard! 

Happy planting!
