Indoor planter boxes are the containers for the plants you bring or grow indoors. Like all container plants, the succulents, flowers or even grasses that you grow in your planter boxes depend upon you to add nutrients, water and perhaps even the light they need for good growth.

In exchange, they bring life to your indoor environment. A large plant is one of the best air scrubbers you will find anywhere. With that said, plants require attention, care and learning. In many cases, a “brown thumb” is a simple lack of understanding. With just a little work and added information, you can have plants as lush and lovely as those of any gardener.

What are the most important features of indoor planter boxes?

A good planter has plenty of room for the plant you want to grow. Some plants do very well in a shallow container, some require quite a large one. There are even plants that do not grow well indoors and there are, of course, some plants that are simply too large for container culture. You can select a plant for the container or the container for the plant.

The planter will also need to allow for drainage because very few plants like to have their roots completely drowned in water. Drainage means providing a drip pan to prevent the water from the plants causing damage to your home furnishings.

What are the pros and cons of metal planter boxes?

Metal planters are sturdy, attractive and often have excellent capacity. But metal tends to warm up and cool off faster than terra cotta or even plastic containers, and the planter itself could be damaged by water, over time. A good solution to this is to insert a less expensive plastic pot inside the metal planter.

For example, the Indya round, gold colored metal pot has a small drainage hole at the bottom – something you do not want to have leaking onto your living room carpet. The problem of drainage and insulation is easily solved by setting a plastic pot with appropriate drainage tray into the metal pot and masking the inexpensive liner with a little decorator moss. The Indya round, gold planter is an excellent choice for your living room.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of ceramic stoneware planters?

Like all ceramics, stoneware planters have the potential for a variety of beautiful colors. This makes it easy to match the planter to your décor. They are, however, often quite heavy, so it is a good idea to research your plant and observe your environment carefully because a large ceramic stoneware planter isn’t something you are going to be able to move easily. With that said, the weight and size of a large stoneware planter makes it less likely to be tipped over or broken by children or pets – especially if it is already sitting on the floor.

Bonus tip: The plant you select will need adequate light with the correct UV rays for good growth. This can be from a window, a skylight, or a gro-light, but you will need to plan for this. A plant that does not get adequate sunlight will grow spindly and wither. But with a little research and planning, you and your plant have the potential for a long life together.
