Master Indoor Plant Design

Transform spaces with our comprehensive 12-week learning journey through plant selection, design mastery, and sustainable care practices

Foundation Module Pathway

Building essential knowledge through plant biology, space assessment, and design fundamentals that form the backbone of successful indoor plant arrangements.

Week 1-2

Plant Biology & Selection Mastery

Understanding photosynthesis, root systems, and growth patterns helps you make informed decisions. We'll explore how different species adapt to indoor conditions and what makes certain plants thrive while others struggle.

Learning Objectives

Identify key plant families and their indoor requirements
Assess light conditions using professional measurement techniques
Match plant species to specific room environments

Week 3-4

Space Design Principles

Every room tells a story, and plants become characters in that narrative. You'll learn to read architectural elements, understand traffic flow, and create focal points that enhance rather than overwhelm existing décor.

Learning Objectives

Create balanced compositions using color theory
Apply scale and proportion in plant arrangements
Design for different room functions and moods

Assessment Progression

Week 2

Plant Identification Challenge

Identify 15 common houseplants and describe their specific care requirements through visual assessment and research-based analysis.

Week 4

Room Design Portfolio

Create three different room layouts incorporating plants as design elements, demonstrating understanding of space, light, and aesthetic principles.

Advanced Application Track

Developing sophisticated skills in container selection, advanced care techniques, and troubleshooting common problems that challenge even experienced plant enthusiasts.

Week 5-7

Container Design & Arrangement

The right container can elevate a simple plant into a design statement. We'll explore materials, drainage systems, and aesthetic considerations that professional designers use to create stunning displays.

Learning Objectives

Select containers that complement both plant and space
Design custom drainage solutions for different environments
Create layered arrangements with multiple species

Week 8-9

Advanced Care Systems

Moving beyond basic watering schedules, you'll learn to create microenvironments, understand humidity management, and develop feeding programs that keep plants healthy year-round.

Learning Objectives

Establish automated watering and humidity systems
Develop seasonal care adjustment protocols
Recognize early signs of plant stress and disease

Skill Development Milestones

Week 7

Container Design Project

Design and execute a multi-plant container arrangement that demonstrates mastery of drainage, spacing, and aesthetic composition principles.

Week 9

Care System Implementation

Document a complete care routine for five different plant species, including troubleshooting guides and seasonal adjustment protocols.

Professional Mastery Capstone

Synthesizing all learned concepts into a comprehensive design project while developing business skills for those interested in pursuing plant design professionally.

Week 10-11

Complete Environment Design

This is where everything comes together. You'll plan and execute a full room transformation, considering budget constraints, maintenance requirements, and long-term sustainability of your design choices.

Learning Objectives

Create comprehensive design proposals with budgets
Develop maintenance schedules for complex installations
Present design concepts to clients or stakeholders

Week 12

Business Development Skills

Whether you're designing for your own spaces or considering this as a career path, understanding the business side helps you make better decisions and potentially monetize your new expertise.

Learning Objectives

Calculate project costs and pricing strategies
Build client consultation and communication skills
Develop marketing materials for plant design services

Capstone Project Timeline

Week 11
