You can decorate any room in your house with plants. Plants improve air quality, boost moods, and make homes appear more welcoming. People have been increasingly using plants and succulents in home decor. Have you ever stopped to think about how important the planter you choose is to the overall look of your plant?
The right planter can make all the difference in how your plant looks – and how long it lasts. In this blog post, we’ll give you tips on picking a planter that makes your plant look like a million bucks!
Pick the Right Size
While watering your plants the right way is essential for their life, so is choosing the suitable planter. When it comes to planters, size matters.
Here are a few things to consider when choosing a planter size:
Plant’s root system – A plant’s root system will determine how big the plant will eventually grow. If you have a plant with a large root system, you’ll need a big planter.
Plant’s growth habit – How fast and how big will the plant grow? A fast-growing plant will need a big planter so it doesn’t become pot-bound (root bound). A slow-growing plant can get by with a small planter.
Your space – How much space do you have for your plants? You’ll need to take into account the size of the planter and the size of the plant when it’s fully grown. If you don’t have much space, choose small plants or look for compact varieties that don’t grow too big.
Choose a Planter that Creates Contrast
If you want your plant to look like a million bucks, choose a planter that creates contrast. A good way to do this is to choose a planter that is a different color than your plant. For example, if you have a green plant, you could choose a white or black planter. This will help your plant stand out and look more sophisticated. Another way to create contrast is to choose a planter that is a different shape than your plant. For example, if you have a round plant, you could choose a square planter. This will also help your plant stand out and look more unique. Click here to look at 20 planter ideas that will inspire you.
Make Sure the Planter Complements the Plant’s Aesthetics
When picking a planter for your beloved plant, make sure that it complements the plant’s natural beauty. Here are a few things to keep in mind when making your selection. Making sure the pattern of the leaves and the planter matches is one of the many ways to complement each other.
Choose the Right Planter Material
Here are some of the most popular materials for planters:
Wood: Wood planters are classic and timeless. They can be used indoors or outdoors and come in various colors and finishes. If you’re looking for a rustic vibe, go with a wooden planter.
Metal: Metal planters are perfect if you want a modern or industrial look. They’re also great for plants that need extra drainage because they’re often equipped with holes in the bottom. Just make sure to put a saucer underneath to catch any water that drips through.
Plastic: Plastic planters are budget-friendly and easy to find. They come in all sorts of colors and shapes, so you can definitely find one that fits your style. Just keep in mind that plastic doesn’t breathe as well as other materials, so it’s not ideal for plants that require high humidity levels.
Ceramic: Ceramic planters are beautiful and come in endless styles and colors. They’re perfect for showing off your plant babies indoors. Just be careful with ceramic pots — they’re fragile and can easily break if dropped.
Conclusion
Now that you know how to pick a planter that makes your plant look like a million bucks, it’s time to get shopping! There are so many different sizes, shapes, colors, and materials to choose from. And if you’re still not sure what size is right for your plant, ask a nursery professional or someone at your local garden center. They can help you find the perfect fit.
