Planters

Pots and planters are containers used for the cultivation of plants and also offer an aesthetic display. The use of house planters brings in a fresh expanse of nature. These plant pots come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and fit seamlessly into any layout. Planter stands can be hoisted up to various heights, especially if they are placed behind sofas or cupboards.

Plants are a great way to add pizzaz to the general setting of a home. They come in a wide range of styles and experimenting with different textures can spruce up a room even more. Additionally, they are a great way to revamp the outdoors by the use of large outdoor planters in the entryway.

Pots vs Planters

Usually, the words “planter” and “plot” are used in place of each other. However, Pots are normally smaller, round, and are usually meant to contain a single plant. Planters are commonly meant for outdoors, they come in asymmetrical sizes, and can contain many plants as opposed to just one.

Types of Planters

• Planter Boxes

Planter boxes truly enhance the residential environment. They can also be used for gardening in small spaces. They are highly sought after for herbs and vegetable growing in small areas like patios, decks, and balconies. Using a herb planter in the kitchen is a convenient way to pack nutrition and taste into meals. Using pot stands elevates the visual effect of the greenery and is perfect for trailing plants.

• Hanging Planters

These hanging planters are perfect for tiny and compact spaces and are the popular new way to plant vertically. They are the same as wall planters and save a lot of floor space. Using air planters, dried flowers or trailing plants makes the hanging plant pots look absolutely stunning.

• Raised Beds

By using raised garden boxes one can easily grow small pots of veggies and flowers. They are ideal for keeping away weeds, pests, and slugs from the soil and provide good drainage. There is also less soil compaction with their use.

• Planters

Planters are generally larger than pots and can be used in any corner of the house. They are a great way to pair up different varieties of plants in a single container. From a wooden planter box to small succulent planters, these come in all sorts of assortments and bring a relaxing vibe to any setting.

Self-watering planters offer easy maintenance of the plants and are suitable for people who have busy schedules. For uplifting the effect of greens, plant pot stands are ideal and come in many sizes.

Types & Materials

• Terracotta

Terracotta is a great material for house planters because they allow fresh air and water to move through the walls of the pot and keep soil disease at bay. The succulent pots made of this material are perfect for keeping the plants healthy in the long-term.

• Wooden

Growing plants and vegetable is easier with the use of wooden planters and they also take up little space. They can be made to fit any corner and look striking against dull backgrounds. The wood makes a stunning trough planter.

• Plastic

The plastic garden pots are the easiest to maintain, light-weight, and long-lasting. They come in flexible designs and are a favourite with gardeners for their portability.

• Ceramic

These plant holders have a thicker divider than the plastic ones and are ideal for protecting the roots. They keep them at a constant temperature during different seasons. For plants that require more water, the ceramic variety is the best.

• Concrete

The concrete planters are long-lasting and eco-friendly. The heavyweight might hinder easy portability but they can withstand harsh climates quite effectively.

Use of Planters

Indoor-house planters

The indoor plants are great mood enhancers, reduce stress, condition the air inside the home, and add life to sterile spaces.

Succulent planters

Using succulent planters are a great way to bring a fascinating assortment of shapes, sizes, colours, and unique textures to the home. They lift the allure of the house and are low-maintenance.

Herb Planter

The herb planter is ideal for adding flavor to cooking, discouraging pests, providing pleasant odours, and boosting health.  

Flower Planters

These are an important and functional addition to the garden or interior of the house. Using flower planters helps to transport plants to new locations and helps with the cultivation.

Garden Planters

The outdoor pots bring the outer enclave to life by adding vibrancy, texture, and colour. The garden planters can be used to plant anything from trees to herbs and are very durable.

Planter and Pot Size

Sizing options depend on general requirements, such as how big the plant is or if the pot or planter is housing multiple greens. It also depends on space (where it is going to be kept). It is usually preferred to choose large sizes for plants that grow quickly. For slow growers, a pot that is 1.2 inches larger works quite well. 

When transplanting, it’s important that a plant is relocated to a larger pot since it would have expanded.  All types of pots require adequate drainage points to seep out the extra water that might otherwise cause decay.
