While having plant pots that match your decor is important, a well-designed pot will save you a lot of hassle!

But let’s see in detail what we need to consider.

How to Choose Plant Pots
What should you be looking for? First of all, consider that all plant pots should have drainage holes. These holes in fact allow the passage of excess water and promote better air circulation between the roots. This also means that you will need to equip yourself with a suitable saucer. Obviously it is also possible to use plant pots without drainage but in this case a very careful irrigation is necessary to avoid drowning the plant.
While ceramic indoor plant pots are less breathable than unglazed clay, they still provide far better conditions than plastic. This difference can mean stronger roots, steadier growth, and fewer issues with stress or disease.
What Material should you choose for Plant Pots?
Ceramic and plastic are the two best options for indoor plant pots, and both materials have their pros and cons. Ceramic plant pots are porous, which means that your plants are less likely to suffer from mold due to excess water. It also means, however, that you will need to water them more often.

Plastic pots are lighter, less prone to breaking, and easier to clean. Plants in plastic pots will also dry out more slowly, which is good for those who forget to water plants, but not so good for those with a tendency to water them too often.
