Advice for this space
- 01
Avoid anything that falls in the water
Small leaves, spent flowers and fruit end up in the filter. Favour evergreen, generous foliage: palms, agaves, strelitzia.
- 02
Account for splashes
Chlorinated or salt water burns some foliage. Set sensitive plants back from the coping and rinse the leaves with fresh water after busy days.
- 03
Mind the roots
Some species have powerful roots that lift coping stones and liners. Plant large specimens well away from the pool, or keep them in planters.
