When it comes to plant pots, there are many options to choose from. Lots of different types of containers can be used for plants. Size, style, and type of material are important aspects to consider.
When you are choosing a container for your plant, think about where you will be placing it. Consider the decor in the room that you will be putting the plant in. You can choose a container that will match the style of the room or one that will stand out as a focal point.
You should also consider the size of the plant when choosing a container. Forever-Plants can be made in several sizes, mini, desk-sized, and full-size. Choose a container that will be the right size for the plant that you are putting in it.
The rule of thirds can be used as a guideline when choosing a container. The container should be about one-third the height of the plant and container combo. A good ratio to follow is 1/3 planter to 2/3 plant.
Terracotta and ceramic pots, glass drinkware, and spice tins make great planters. You can also use mason jars, tea cups, and coffee mugs.
Forever-Plants do not need drainage holes, so, really, you can use any container that you like. You can even use wine corks for your mini plants. The possibilities are endless. You can use your imagination and creativity to come up with unique and interesting planters for your plants.
