Planter or pot?
Unfortunately, not all indoor plant lovers understand the difference between these two items. Often they are considered identical to each other, but in reality this is not the case at all.
Flower pots are designed for direct planting of any indoor plants. By choosing the correct proportions of drainage and soil, as well as the correct placement of the pot, its main function is to ensure the growth and normal development of the plant itself.
The cache-pot, in fact, is just an upper "shell". Plants cannot grow and develop in it. The planter is a decor for flower pots.
Both the one and the other item can have a special stand. The main difference between the two is that there are 1 to 5 holes in the bottom of the pot, which are designed to allow excess water to escape when watering. Such holes are not provided in the planter.
Important nuances
Hanging pots are especially popular today - both forged and ceramic, and even plastic. They allow not only to place the plants themselves beautifully and profitably, in terms of design, but also to create more favorable conditions for these flowers for growth and further development.

- The material of such an attachment must correspond to the material of manufacture of the pots itself. So, for metal and ceramic models it is better to purchase forged fasteners, and for plastic products, plastic ones are also quite suitable.

When installing fasteners and holders of the planter itself, you must use a ruler and a screwdriver. It is not worth saving on the quality of such consumable additional materials. Some manufacturers offer their customers a whole set of pots - it includes not only holders, the model itself and dowels, but also additional decorative elements in the form of twine ornaments or small plastic figures.
