Indoor Planters and Pots FAQ:
Do indoor planters and pots require drainage?
Yes, you’ll need some form of drainage system to care for your houseplants, cacti or succulents. Many indoor plants include a drainage hole where water can disperse as it runs through the soil. In these instances make sure you use a saucer or appropriate tray underneath to catch the excess. If you have a watertight indoor planter or pot simply go with the 2-pot system by placing whatever container your plant, cacti or succulent arrived in directly inside the watertight planter.
How much are indoor planters and pots?
Simple ceramic indoor pots typically start from around $10 and are available in a range of size options and styles. Artistic and artisanal planters can vary dramatically in price (anywhere from $100 to $1000) depending on the brand, materials used, and craftsmanship involved.
What indoor planters are best for larger tropical houseplants?
We recommend a minimum planter size of 10” in both diameter and height if you’re looking to grow a houseplant (such as a Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree or Monstera Deliciosa) of 4 feet or more tall. Your houseplants’ roots will quickly grow to fill the planter and you’ll need a sturdy base to support the plant as it grows both up and out. Ceramic, terra cotta, stone, or concrete are great materials to consider.
What are the most popular materials used in modern decorative indoor planters?
Modern decorative planters feature a range of interesting materials including glass, spun aluminum, brass, artisanal terra cotta, and solid wood (often oak and pine).
