Yellow is a beautiful colour for gender neutral rooms, it can be either pale and sunny or gorgeous rich mustards like this above. The turquoise blues can be teamed with it for a retro feel and navy looks great too, on the other hand, lighter tones can be put with it against white as an overall colour, it works for either boy or girl. Typography or letter art looks smart and sweet in a nursery, bright primary colored alphabets in frames, eye test charts, or words that articulate your thoughts for your babies space look sweet too. You can start to tie in with your babies initials, monograms sticker on their linens, a custom cushion with colored embroidery on a casual armchair in the corner look great, mdf letters are cheap you can paint them with a sample pot or two for temporary colour. Same with a canvas, cover it with a staple gun or hot glue with a nice fabric you like from a fabric store, pick a pattern, print or theme, maybe pick a colour out from it and use on accessories, for example a fabric of sketched birds with leaves twigs and owls, in blues greens and mustards, you could get some mustard, green and caramel frames, pillows, blankets or lamps, cover the shade in the same feature fabric, suddenly you have great neutral walls, white furniture as your build off colour, temporary pattern in a canvas print for their wall, glue on white painted letters either initials or simply ABC onto the centre of the canvas to become a large custom print, tie in with a cushion in the. Same fabric, suddenly your print is scattered around the room, tied in with coordinating colours in linens etc, and some cute little quirky things, and it's already sweet and trendy for your little tot. Books and more books, are great they look good, and encourage a love for reading, you Both will benefit fro it early on, I have seen a bookstand that is a cloud shape, holding a dozen books or so, sits on the floor next to a chair, paint in a great blue, depending on your palette, this works for boy or girl, just adjust the colour tones to either sex once their born. Ie paler lilacs and things if a girl, or darker navy etc if a boy.

Probably best option is to consult the nursery where you purchased the topiarised plants - as you say, not an insignificant investment and they may undertake to replace the plant or at least nurse it back to health. Any potted plant requiring full sun, such as yours, which is up against a wall and not receiving sun on all sides needs to be rotated otherwise it won't grow evenly on all sides. Another thing I do with all my potted plants, numerous of which are toparised (last count I had 40 pots of 30cms or bigger) is I first plant into a plastic pot and put the plastic pot into a decorative terracotta or porcelain pot, that way it is easier to lift the plant out to repot, relocate or replace if it dies - it also affords a barrier against sun heating up the side of the decorative pot thereby drying potting mix more quickly.

Hi there, I think it looks great. May be you could add a mobile to engage your little one. If you are allowed to put something on the wall, some temporary wall print would help too.
