This one is for the plant moms everywhere. We know how it feels to run out of nice pots for your babies. Before you buy, think about what you need for your species. Terracotta pots, for example, dry out quickly, so they are great for dry species like cacti and succulents. Ceramic pots will work for most plants unless you’re worried about fragility. Here are some of our top picks for all of your houseplants – big, small, water-loving, hydrophobic, standing, hanging, and more!
Goodman and Wife Natural Terracotta Fat-Walled Garden Planters, Set of Two ($24.99, shop here)
As mentioned, terracotta is perfect for plants that don’t love water. And since these pots have drainage holes, they’re even better for cacti and succulents. You don’t have to worry about water damage to your countertops since they come with trays as well. They are also heavier than similarly sized plastic options, meaning they’re less likely to tip over.
