GREG HAREM: Let's talk greenery. Now for tropical vases, you always want to build a good backing
to your tropical. Most tropicals are one to three sided so you want something very dramatic
in the back. That can be created with your tea leaves, which is a lighter green here
with a slight, kinda reddish stripe at the edge. Also the darker tea leaf, smaller tea
leaf, which is one of my favorites with the much more stronger edge to it. A monstera
leaf, which actually goes in the front. All these would be kind of curled up, which I
will show you later on, to give it more of a kind of a pillowy kind of a feeling. Most
florists carry tropical packs. And in that tropical pack, it includes greenery, and one
of them is a palm frond. Like I've mentioned before, it's lighter tea leaf and the very
dark tea leaf, which is also so great to use, and your darker tea leaf. So next, we'll be
greening our container.
