Browse our full range of Planters & Pots — Home Decor essentials, fast delivery and 30-day returns.
The right pot does two jobs at once — it keeps a plant healthy and turns it into a piece of decor. Our range of indoor planters and pots covers everything from small desktop pots and windowsill herb planters to statement floor planters for a fiddle-leaf fig or palm, in ceramic, stoneware, terracotta, woven and metal finishes that suit modern, boho and classic interiors alike. Whether you're re-potting a growing houseplant or dressing a bare corner, the guidance below will help you pick a pot that looks the part and keeps roots happy.
From glazed ceramics to natural seagrass baskets, every planter is chosen to earn its place in your home — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
Pot size matters more than most people realise. When re-potting a growing plant, go up just one size — around 2 to 4cm wider in diameter than the current pot. Too large and the excess compost stays wet, which can lead to root rot; too small and the plant becomes root-bound and thirsty. As a styling rule, the pot should be roughly one-third the total height of the plant so the proportions feel balanced. For floor planters, measure the corner or spot first so your finished plant-and-pot doesn't overwhelm the space.
Healthy roots need to breathe, so drainage is the first thing to check.
Each material has its own character and practicalities. Glazed ceramic and stoneware retain moisture well and come in every colour, making them the versatile all-rounder. Terracotta is porous and breathable, drying out faster — perfect for cacti, succulents and anyone who tends to over-water. Woven seagrass and rattan add warmth and texture for a relaxed, boho feel. Metal and concrete planters bring a contemporary, industrial edge. Mixing two or three finishes in a tonal palette makes a plant grouping look collected rather than matchy.
Plants look best in groups of odd numbers at varying heights — try a tall floor planter, a mid-height pot on a stool and a small pot on a shelf together. Raise trailing plants on plant stands or hang them so the foliage can spill freely. Match the pot to the room's mood: crisp white ceramics for a minimalist scheme, earthy terracotta for a warm rustic look, woven baskets for coastal calm. And don't overlook faux plants in a lovely pot for the darker corners where living plants would struggle.
When re-potting, go up just one size, roughly 2 to 4cm wider than the current pot. As a guide to proportion, the pot should be about one-third the total height of the plant so it looks balanced and gives the roots room without staying too wet.
Drainage is best for plant health, so pots with holes on a saucer are ideal. If you love a pot without holes, use it as a decorative cachepot and keep the plant in its plastic nursery pot inside, lifting it out to water and drain.
A cachepot is a decorative outer pot with no drainage hole, designed to conceal a plain plastic nursery pot. It lets you enjoy a beautiful finish while still watering and draining the plant properly by lifting the inner pot out.
Yes, but protect the weave from moisture. Add a waterproof liner or slip a plastic pot with a saucer inside, so water never soaks directly into the seagrass or rattan.
Terracotta is your friend. It is porous and breathable, so it lets excess moisture evaporate and dries out faster than glazed ceramic. It suits cacti, succulents and anyone with a heavy watering hand.
