How to Pick the Perfect Planters for Your Indoor Jungle
Plants add cheer and delight to your space, so finding cool planters for them will make any room look more appealing and unique.
If you're searching for ways to breathe some fresh, new life into your home, plants and stylish planters are the perfect solution.
Read on for some cute planter ideas that will give your favorite spaces a touch of charm and personality.

Hanging Planters are Perfect for Small Spaces
Even if you're short on space, you can enjoy lush plants at home with help from hanging planters. These cool planters feature rope or chains attached so you can easily hang them from a window or the ceiling.
Make sure you use sturdy hooks that are securely anchored when using hanging planters, so your houseplant doesn't come crashing down. If your hanging planter has drainage holes, remove the pot from its hanger, water it in the sink, and then wait for the soil to drain fully before hanging it up again.
When deciding on plants for your hanging planter, it’s a good idea to choose plants that love a lot of bright, direct light since your hanging planter will likely be near a sunny window. These planters are the perfect way to add visual interest to your home without having to sacrifice extra floor or shelf space.
Get Modern with Metallics
The days of old, flimsy plastic planters are long gone, thanks to an endless assortment of modern planters. Try something sleek and contemporary like a large indoor planter featured in a bright, metallic hue.
Metal planters look stunning in any room, and they give your plant a bold contrast with the juxtaposition of metal tones and greenery. You can add metal planters to a shelf, table, or place one on the floor for a vibrant, modern touch.
If you're concerned about the bottom of your metal planter rusting, use a nursery pot for the plant itself (one of the flimsy plastic pots that the plant comes in), and nestle it inside. Remove the plant whenever you water it, let it drain, then place it back in the metal planter to keep it in good condition.
Try Cool Planters on Wheels
Different plants require different amounts of light, so you might need to move your houseplant around to give it maximum exposure. Try a planter on wheels so you can easily maneuver your plant around the room.
You don't have to purchase a planter with wheels that are attached. Instead, place your planter on a rolling cart or a tray with wheels so you can move it around your home as-needed.
If you're worried about your plant rolling away or being pushed around my curious children or pets, be sure to use a planter or cart with locking casters. This will keep the wheels stationary when it's not being moved for a secure, beautiful display.
Say Hello to Terrariums
A terrarium is a glass enclosure that creates a mini-ecosystem for your plants. These gorgeous home planters come in a myriad of sizes, shapes, and designs.
If you use a terrarium, make sure you fill it with plants that will thrive in warmer temperatures. When the terrarium is closed, it tends to trap warm air and moisture inside, making it a perfect tropical houseplant environment.
Place your terrarium in a part of your home that gets ample sunlight so your plants will thrive. These unique displays are fun to look at and will give any room a touch of classic English garden-inspired style. Look for small plants that are not expected to grow very large to minimize the need for replanting.
Recreate the Desert with Low-Profile Planters
Cacti and succulents are some of the most popular houseplants due to their easy care and dramatic looks. To enhance the look of your desert plants, try a large, round, low-profile planter.
You'll find these cool planters made of anything from painted ceramic to galvanized metal. Both cacti and succulents like to have a lot of vertical space for their roots to spread out, so a shorter, wider planter is best (tip: you can even use a large bowl as a planter, provided you can give it the right drainage).
Create a miniature desert by filling your low-profile planter with several different plant species. You can display the planter on a bookshelf, kitchen island, or coffee table for a fascinating addition to your home.
Indoor Planters on Stands
One of the hottest planter trends right now is cylindrical planters placed on a sturdy stand. These planters can be attached to the stand, or you may be able to remove them to make watering and caring for your plant easier.
Choose a planter and stand that's tall enough to reach your windows so it gets ample light. This design is sleek and some styles evoke a classic, mid-century modern look.
A fun way to add visual interest to your home is to purchase several planters and stands at varying heights. Place them together to create a multi-level miniature "forest" that adds a cool look to a living room or bedroom area.
