Today, we’re checking back in on this lovely mixed planter we created about two months ago. In the original video, which you can find linked below, we combined a vibrant Croton and a Pothos in a beautiful pot. As you can see, the planter has grown considerably since then, and both plants are thriving in their home.

When creating mixed planters, it’s important to remember that it takes a little time for the plants to grow into their space. It’s better not to overcrowd the planter initially, as plants will quickly outgrow their container. In this case, limiting the planter to just two plants has worked well. While the Croton and Pothos are adaptable to growing in close quarters, overcrowding would have been problematic.

I wanted to show you how well the plants are doing now, with plenty of new foliage. Some older leaves, like this one, will be trimmed soon. Regular grooming and care, including using a high-quality fertilizer like Green Gourmet House Plant Food (link in the description), help maintain plant health and appearance.

The planter has become established with new foliage, indicating it’s thriving. As the plants continue to grow, I’ll be fertilizing again within the next couple of days to keep them healthy and vibrant.
