Planters That Make Your Plants Shine
A good planter turns a plant into a decorative feature. It hides plastic nursery pots and adds texture. It also ties your greenery into the rest of your decor.
Kubu Grey Planter Baskets
Our kubu grey planter baskets are woven from natural rattan. Each is lined to protect the weave. Choose heart-shaped, cottage trug, farmhouse tall round or country barrel designs. Most come in sets of three or four graduated sizes.
Teak Root Planter Pots
Teak root planters have a chunky, organic shape. They suit patios, porches and garden rooms. Each piece is unique, with natural grain and knots.
Indoor Planting Tips
- Keep plants in their plastic pot inside the planter for easy watering.
- Add pebbles at the bottom so roots don't sit in water.
- Check drainage and empty excess water after watering.
- Match plant size to planter: small herbs in small baskets, tall plants in tall ones.
Creating a Plant Display
Group planters of different heights together. Put the tallest at the back. Use a set of three in a corner for an instant indoor garden. Raise smaller plants on a side table or stool.
Outdoor Use
Woven planters should be used in sheltered spots. Bring them in during heavy rain or frost. Teak root planters are sturdier for patios but benefit from shelter in winter.
Care
Dust woven planters with a soft brush. Keep them dry between waterings. Oil wooden planters occasionally to protect the finish.
