Define and explain the difference between visual balance and physical balance as they relates to
interior plantscaping.
What will be an ideal response?
A plant must maintain physical balance; otherwise, it will topple. Sometimes a plant grows top heavy
and requires staking. Some plants may be top heavy but become stable and physically balanced once
the grow pot is placed within a decorative pot. On the other hand, if the foliage mass is too large for
the trunk and pot, the result is a standing tree that appears top heavy. Overall, this plant would be
visually unbalanced. The effect of such poor weight distribution negates the aesthetic of a healthy
plant and would give clients and their guests an uneasy feeling.
