Indoor greens

Plant plans for Seville interiors that respect closed shutters, warm floors, and the long stretch of dry air between June and September.

Reading light before choosing leaves

East rooms near the centre often enjoy a gentle morning wash then deep shade. West rooms can scorch by four o’clock once shutters open for evening air. We match foliage thickness and pot size to that pattern instead of copying a catalogue layout meant for cooler cities.

Corridors with high ceilings and little direct sun suit taller specimens that prefer stability over drama. Living rooms with glazed doors to a patio need plants that tolerate sudden brightness when doors swing wide after supper.

Soil, vessels, and floors that stay cool

Unglazed pots help roots breathe when room temperatures climb. We avoid sealed decorative containers unless they have a true inner liner with drainage. Saucers are chosen to protect historic tiles without trapping stagnant water against warm ceramics.

Where floors heat up in the afternoon, stands lift pots a few centimetres so roots are not cooking against the surface. That small lift often matters more than changing plant species.

District notes

Triana

River-side flats catch humidity after storms; we favour mixes that drain fast and plants that forgive uneven watering when doors stay open to the breeze.

Santa Cruz

Deep courtyards delay morning light. Compact shade-tolerant greens and pale vessels keep narrow rooms from feeling crowded.

Nervión

Long glazed façades need sheer filtering and tougher leaves. We plan clusters away from glass that becomes a radiator by mid-afternoon.

Field checklist

  1. Map shutter habits for each room across a typical summer weekday.
  2. Weigh floor load before recommending large terracotta on upper storeys.
  3. List absences longer than ten days and set a watering cover plan.
  4. Confirm pets and children so toxic species never enter the shortlist.
  5. Photograph existing vessels worth keeping to avoid unnecessary purchases.

What a finished indoor plan includes

You receive a room-by-room list with plant names, pot sizes, and a summer versus mild-season watering note. Install can be staged if you prefer to start with the living room and add bedrooms later.

Indoor greens plans for one to three rooms begin at €480; fuller flats are quoted after the first visit. Write to [email protected] with a few interior photos to begin.
