Although selecting a pot for your new plant may seem straightforward, style isn't the only thing to take into account. Naturally, you want the design of your house or apartment and your decorative plants to complement each other, but it's also crucial to consider drainage, size, and material when choosing a plant pot. The health and lifespan of your new houseplant are ultimately what matter when selecting an indoor plant planter. Discover all you need to know about selecting a container that works with your plant up ahead.
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust. - Gertrude Jekyll
Choosing a Pot: SIZE MATTERS!
To provide your houseplant room to expand, the pot should always be at least six inches bigger in circle than the plant's current root ball. With this general rule of thumb, each watering will guarantee that the plant receives the proper nutrition; any smaller and you run the danger of overwatering, and any bigger and you run the risk of underwatering. It's time to buy a new container and repotted if the roots begin to grow through the drainage holes or along the top of the soil.
Choosing a Pot: MATERIAL, gurl!
Indoor pots are often made of plastic or ceramic, but outdoor pots can be made of a broad variety of materials. The former is preferable for plant parents who are forgetful and could occasionally forget to water their plants because it retains moisture longer than ceramic pots. Additionally, they are frequently less expensive and simpler to maintain. On the other hand, because ceramic planters are porous, they may aid in drainage and help wick away extra moisture from the soil. As a result, they're a better choice for people who frequently overwater houseplants. All Weaving Waves plants are sent pre-potted in Eco-pots, which are composed of up to 80% recycled plastic and are of the highest quality and sustainability.

Choosing a Pot: STYLIN' & VIBIN'
Although the design of your container is ultimately up to you, it is preferable for your indoor plant décor to take into account the colour of the flowers and foliage as well as the style of your home as a whole. In general, you want any ornamental plant container to enhance rather than overwhelm your plant and its surroundings. Our eco-friendly planters were created with this objective in mind; they have a contemporary, minimalist style that showcases the beauty of each plant and come in five subdued hues that were drawn from the state of Michigan, the birthplace of our brands:
• Clay: A subtle, traditional brown that is reminiscent of warm sand dunes.
• Charcoal: A rich, dark gray that is reminiscent of damp river boulders.
• Indigo: A rich, intense blue that was inspired by Lake Michigan's waves.
• Slate: A calm, stormy-sky-inspired blue-gray.
• Stone: A crisp, frosty gray that is reminiscent of limestone.
Choosing a Pot: Drainage
Perhaps the most crucial aspect to take into account when selecting a pot for your new plantling is drainage. Water cannot drain easily and the roots won't have enough access to air if the pot's bottom doesn't have the required openings. This may result in overwatering and other potentially fatal issues including root rot, wilting foliage, and fungus or mold. Purchase a tray as well, and place it beneath the pot to capture any standing water. Make careful to empty often!
