Tabletop displays benefit from the addition of small plants, which offer tremendous versatility as finishing touches.  They lend themselves more easily than larger varieties to last minute accessorizing.  In addition, they’re relatively affordable, can be chosen to fit a particular decorating style or coordinate with a color scheme, and are easily rotated with the seasons or positioned to receive more light.
When you’re selecting a plant for a small table or shelf, choose a size that’s comparable to a vase or bowl you’d use in the same spot. A large surface does well with a slightly larger plant – or a grouping of small ones. Since tabletop arrangements typically display more than just one plant or other accessory, wait to select the container until you have the vignette in place.  The container should be appropriate to the size and variety of plant, have decorative value, complement the other accessories, and enhance the overall arrangement.
