Composition facts
Form, Line, Texture, and Fragrance
Form
§ Explanation : Form defines the overall shape and silhouette of the arrangement. It helps create a strong visual impression from a distance.
§ Examples of arrangements:
– Biedermeier bouquet: Compact, round form — uses flowers like roses (Rosa spp.) and dahlias (Dahlia cultivars).
– Parallel arrangement: Vertical lines create a structured rectangular form — often with grasses, gladiolus, or delphinium.
– Fan-shaped arrangement: Used in hotel lobbies or large receptions — emphasizes a wide, fan-like form with strong symmetry.

Form
§ Dahlia – round form
§ Calla (Zantedeschia) – funnel form
§ Gloriosa – star-shaped form
§ Explanation :
§ Line gives direction and movement to the design, guiding the viewer’s eye.
§ Examples of arrangements:
– Ikebana (Japanese floral art): Very strong use of line, often with minimalist stems and branches.
– Vertical arrangements: Tall vases with flowers like gladiolus (Gladiolus spp.) or eremurus (Eremurus robustus) to accentuate height.
– Cascade bridal bouquet: Flowing downward line with trailing flowers such as orchids or ivy.
Floweracademy.nl Blooming your future
§ Gladiolus – strong vertical line
§ Delphinium – upward line
§ Eremurus – tall, slender line
Texture
§ Explanation :
§ Texture refers to the surface quality (smooth, rough, airy, dense), adding depth and interest.
§ Examples of arrangements:
– Natural, wild meadow-style bouquets: Combining fine textures (grasses, ferns) with rough or bold flowers like sunflowers (Helianthus annuus).
– Tropical arrangements: Bold, glossy textures from anthurium and monstera leaves.
– Mixed seasonal centerpieces: Juxtaposing coarse hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) with fine-textured asparagus fern.

Wet or dry? េស)មឬសBnត?
How
much water or RV (%) does a plant need?
§ By looking at a plant you already know a lot.
§ Looking at leaf thickness
• Soft leaf = lots of water + higher RH (more spraying)
• Thick / fat leaf = succulent properties in leaf
• little water, lower RH (less / no spraying)
§ Looking at stem / stem / root
• Succulent properties
• The more or the thicker the stem, the easier it is for the plant to grow.
• The thicker the root, the easier it is to care for / less water
• The finer the root, the more regular the water
Wet / humid or dry?
Dark colored is moist
Light colored is dry
How much water does a plant need?
§ By looking at a plant you already know a lot.
§ Looking at the leaf thickness
– Soft leaves
§ more and regular water
§ higher RH (more spraying)
– Thick / fat leaves = succulent chacteristics in leaves
§ Less or little water,
§ Lower RH (less / no spraying)
How
much water does a plant need in relation to succulent characteristics
§ Succulent characteristics = ability to survive in dry periods.
§ Succulent characteristics can be found in: – Root – Stem / trunk – Leaf = succulent
§ The more or the thicker the stem, the easier the plant
§ The thicker the root, the easier to care for / less water
§ The finer the root, the more regular watering
Roots of plants says something…..
Roots of plants says something…..
Too dry or too wet? When watering, pay attention
to:
§ Always water from below for soft-leaved plants:
– Annuals, perennials, flowering houseplants
– Larger pot sizes can be watered on the pot
§ Never leave tables with water:
– Ebb and flow tables or after rain showers
§ Plants with fine rootsystem sometimes dip
– Rhododendron (Azalea), Cyclamen etc
§ Plants with softer leaves not too close to each other
Plant care
§ Watering:
§ Make sure customers aren't hindered
– Or in the morning: in normal weather
– Or in the evening: § is better when weather is warm / hot
– High evaporation + better water absorption at night
– Sometimes 2 times a day in extreme weather
Watering:
§ With a water-giving-schedule
§ Pay attention to weather forecasts
§ Sometimes need to water on Sunday
§ Sometimes necessary to water 2 times a day
§ Flowering products never from above – This causes Botrytis
– Water on the pot or from from below
§ Sometimes dipping (hanging plants)
§ Sometimes change water (aquatic plants)
Check watering
§ First check if the plants need water by means of "thumb test”
– press the thumb into the earth
– with dry thumb, water
– soil sticks, does not water
– on hot summer days (25+) check again at the end of the day
How to give water?
When does a plant need watering?
§ Feels soil on top of pot dry
§ Feels pot heavy
§ Is the plant large or small
§ How is the ratio of leaf / stems
§ At what time of the year is it
§ Is it a herbaceous or woody
§ A greasy or soft-leaved species
By looking you estimate how much water the plant needs
Water over the plant?
§ Never with flowering plants
– In connection with Botrytis danger
§ Only with green plants
– Plant shows fresh
– Increases humidity = leaf tips and edges
Plant maintenance
§ Checking plants every day:
§ Remove faded flowers
§ Remove yellow, brown leaves
§ Weekly:
§ Removing weeds from pots
Turning out the stem in Cyclamen: risk of rotting
Remove faded flowers!
Check: Sand or bugs??
Remove yellow leaves
Remove yellow and withered and dried leaves
Botrytis on plants = broei / smet / smeul / spikkel etc
