Picking Greenery for a Tropical Flower Arrangement

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.
