Container gardening expert Melissa King shows you how to create a pretty potted trio that will be a showpiece in your living room.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 x Northcote Pottery 18 cm Ocean Virgo Pot
  • 1 x Northcote Pottery 18 cm Cloud Virgo Pot
  • 1 x Northcote Pottery 18 cm Forest Virgo Pot
  • 1 x Croton ‘Casablanca’
  • 1 x Calathea ‘Dottie’
  • 1 x Calathea makoyana

Team Northcote Pottery’s decorative Cloud Virgo pot with Croton ‘Casablanca’, which displays beautiful rainbow-coloured leaves. Calathea ‘Dottie’ is the perfect choice for our Ocean Virgo pot. The deep blue pot sets off the dark purple and pink leaves perfectly. Then complete the trio by placing Calathea makoyana in the Forest Virgo pot. The patterned deep green and light green leaves have burgundy undersides and complement the forest green pot perfectly. 

Tip: Virgo pots are designed to neatly fit a 140 mm growers pot.
