Beautiful pots and planters can make all the difference when it comes to your home décor. Here are some stylish pots and planters you can shop:
Terracotta Pot
Terracotta is made from clay that is fired at lower temperatures than other types of ceramics, making it ‘breathable’. It will allow water and a certain amount of air to pass through, which aids evaporation of moisture from the soil, decreasing the chance of root rot.
This permeability means that the pot may become discoloured over time but the thickness of this planter decreases the risk of significant discolouration. Terracotta planters are perhaps the most ‘natural’ looking pairing with a plant and are sought after for their synergistic and harmonistic properties in plant displays. This pot has drainage holes.
GOES WELL WITH: We recommend pairing these terracotta planters with medium-large sized plants such as Cacti, Euphorbias and Raphidophoras.
Glazed Terracota Planter
Glazed Terracotta pots are a development of the traditional material used for plant pots. Terracotta is made from clay that is fired at lower temperatures than other types of ceramics, making it ‘breathable’. It will allow water and a certain amount of air to pass through, which aids evaporation of moisture from the soil, decreasing the chance of root rot. Glazing is added for design and to add waterproofing to parts of the pot.
GOES WELL WITH: We recommend these Glazed Terracotta Planters for small to medium sized plants, such as Snake Plants, Swiss Cheese plants and Aglaonemas to be used on tabletop areas.
Cement Cube Planter
Cement planters are made from clay fired at high temperatures and/or glazed to make them impenetrable to water. They will not be susceptible to discolouration and will provide a fine-looking finish that is most often sought after for homeware. They make great looking, durable planters in a wide variety of colours and styles. This pot doesn't have drainage holes.
GOES WELL WITH: We recommend these ceramic cube plant pots for medium-small sized plants, such as Money Trees, Calatheas and ZZ Plants.

Faux Leather Hangers
Long used in the homeware industry, Leather and Faux Leather are also popular materials for crafting due to their strong and durable but flexible, lightweight texture. Faux Leather is synthetic and does not require animal products in its production. It is waterproof and relatively scratch resistant compared to leather, making it a good material for displaying plants. Faux Leather Hangers suit traditional, classic and industrial home settings.
GOES WELL WITH: We recommend this Faux Leather Hanger for displaying a wide range of small to medium-small plants such as
Philodendron Birkin, Variegated Wandering Jew and the Anthurium Flamingo.
Plants bring joy and life into the home, and there’s nothing like a beautiful pot or planter to show them off. A bit of green can brighten up any room, whether it’s a living room, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. Plants also help purify the air, so they’re not just aesthetically pleasing – they’re good for your health too!
When it comes to choosing the right pot or planter for your home, there are many factors to consider. The first is the material – there are many different materials to choose from, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some of the most popular materials for pots and planters include terracotta, ceramic, glazed terracotta, cement, concrete, metal, plastic and fibre.
