room essentials gardening

Common materials for indoor planters include plastic/polyresin (linear low-density polyethylene), wood, ceramic, and polypropylene.

Drainage varies: some planters include a drainage hole, some ship without holes, and many plastic/polyresin planters show a marked spot where you can drill a hole. Manufacturers also advise placing a saucer under indoor planters if you add a drainage hole.

Assembly ranges from none for many planters (ready to use) to required adult assembly for some items—such as a raised wooden garden bed, which may include provided tools.

These planters are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoor placements include living rooms and sunrooms; outdoor placements include patios, decks, porches, gardens, and balconies.

The half-circle wall planters have a bottom reservoir that self-waters plant roots. They are lightweight and include hanging points for easy wall or fence mounting.

Ceramic planters are described as durable and kiln-fired, with resistance to UV and frost. They also provide good insulation to protect roots from temperature swings.
