Our Planters & Pots collection spans ceramic, metal, and woven planters across sizes — the piece that often does more for how a plant looks than the plant itself.
Sizing a planter to a plant
A planter that's too small restricts root growth and dries out fast; one that's too large can hold excess moisture around roots. As a general guide, choose a planter roughly 1–2 inches wider in diameter than the plant's current nursery pot, sizing up as the plant grows rather than jumping straight to a much larger pot.
Drainage matters more than style
A planter without drainage holes can lead to root rot if overwatered — either choose a planter with drainage, or keep the plant in its nursery pot and use the decorative planter as a cover pot (a "cachepot") rather than potting directly into it.
Grouping planters for more visual impact
A single planter is fine, but grouping two or three at different heights — using plant stands or furniture to vary the levels — tends to look more like an intentional plant display than a single scattered pot.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size planter should I buy for my plant?
Roughly 1–2 inches wider in diameter than the plant's current pot is a good starting point, sizing up gradually as the plant grows rather than overpotting all at once.
Do all planters need drainage holes?
Not if you're using them as a cachepot (a decorative cover over the plant's actual nursery pot) — but if potting directly, drainage matters to prevent root rot from overwatering.
Can I use the same planter indoors and outdoors?
Check the specific material's weather resistance — not every indoor-styled planter is rated for full outdoor exposure.
How do I group planters for the best visual effect?
Vary the heights using plant stands or furniture, and group in odd numbers (two or three) rather than a single scattered pot for a more intentional look.
