Large pots: features, types and tips for choosing

The word "pots" came into Russian from the French derivative "cache-pot", which translates as "hidden pot". A flower in a pot is placed in a decorative vessel, decorating an outdoor or indoor interior.

Unlike a regular pot, the bottom of the planter does not have special holes for drainage. This container is not filled with earth and the plants are not planted directly into it. This allows you to place the vessels in any convenient place without worrying that something will get dirty or damp from them. Unsightly clay or plastic pots are hidden in the pots to create a harmonious atmosphere.

In the courtyards of private houses, in the territories of boarding houses, cafes, educational and medical institutions - everywhere you can find flowers in massive outdoor flowerpots. Large planters are stable and very handy for tall, spreading plants. The variety of models, designs and materials helps to harmoniously place planters with plants in any landscape.

Flowers are needed in an environment not only to make it cozy, but also to purify the air and maintain the desired level of humidity in the room. Interior pots are distinguished from street options by their lightness. For home, offices, other materials are chosen, depending on the design style and preferences.
