With these simple measures we have doubled the number of layers and created a greater sense of depth in this layout.
With these simple measures we have doubled the number of layers and created a greater sense of depth in this layout. The transition between the plant groups and decoration are softer and thus more pleasing to the eye. When creating various layers of plant groups, please keep in mind to always maintain their form. A bush of plants should never be allowed to grow so high that it hides the plant group or piece of decoration behind it, i.e. the next layer, entirely. Even a group of the same plants adds to a sense of three-dimensionality if you trim its front shorter than its back. This method allows you to see all the plants that form this bush and not just the ones in the front — the same principle you follow when mounding the substrate towards the back.
