If your houseplant collection is growing ever bigger, and you’re running out of ideas of where to put them, then you’re well on your way to creating a plant room. No, you don’t need to make space for 350 plants to make a green apartment oasis like some of the most enthusiastic collectors. But a room, lit cabinet, or space on a wall filled with tropical plants can make you feel like you’re walking into a lush haven. It also means everything is together for watering and managing humidity levels.

To create a plant lover’s paradise, consider grouping species based on their needs, the conditions you can offer, and complementing shapes, textures, and colors.

A plant room might need more maintenance than having one or two hard-to-kill spider plants sitting on your kitchen windowsill, but once you get into a routine and in sync with your plants, it can be a rewarding and meditative experience.
