Nursery pots are commonly made from ceramic and terracotta, as well as various plastics (for example, polypropylene).
Options vary: some decorative ceramic pots have no drainage holes, many freestanding planters include a drainage hole, and some wall-mounted or specialty planters use a bottom reservoir for self-watering.
Placement depends on the model: some pots are designed for indoor use, others are suitable for both indoor and outdoor ground placement, and some styles are made for wall mounting.
Some products are sold as two-piece sets (two planter pots), while others are single pots sold individually; the listing specifies whether one or multiple pots are included.
Requirements vary: many freestanding pots require no assembly, some ceramic pots note "Adult assembly required, no tools needed," and wall-style planters are lightweight and include a nail/screw hole for easy hanging.
Weights vary widely by material and size: some lightweight freestanding pots weigh about 0.33 lb, certain wall planters are around 0.7 lb, and larger ceramic sets can weigh over 7 lb. Portability depends on those factors, with plastic options generally easier to move than larger ceramic pieces.
