Plastic pots for flowers: types, sizes and designs
Many people decorate their home with houseplants, as they ideally complement the chosen interior of the room. They not only attract attention with their amazing, beautiful design, but also allow you to create the most comfortable microclimate in the room. Plastic flower pots deserve special attention. It is worth considering in more detail their types, sizes and design.
Peculiarities
Plastic is a fairly popular material from which various things and objects are made, including pots for indoor flowers. Today, the variety of models is simply amazing, since plastic options not only have an amazing appearance, but are sometimes considered as works of art. Due to the plasticity of this material, flower pots come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Advantages and disadvantages
The indisputable advantage of plastic flower pots is lightness. If you need a large floor pot for dracaena or ficus, then a plastic product is an excellent choice, since it will make it quite easy to move the plant if necessary. These pots are also suitable for vertical placement due to their lightness. The suspended model will allow you to decorate the interior and become its harmonious addition.
The advantages of plastic pots include the ability to shape them into different shapes. Modern manufacturers offer a variety of options. Quite often, square and rectangular are used, although you can choose another shape that will add a touch of unusualness to the interior of the room. Plastic is characterized by strength and practicality, so when watering plants, it does not allow water to pass through.
If we consider the disadvantages of plastic pots, then it is worth noting that plastic is a man-made material. For this reason, it does not allow air to pass through, which can adversely affect the development of the plant. Watering frequently can lead to root rot.
And, of course, it is worth noting the low stability of such products, since if you pull out tall plants from such a pot, then you need to additionally hold it.
Interesting solutions
Models with automatic irrigation deserve special attention. They usually consist of a planter and a pot. The planter is equipped with a hole to water the plant, and on the pot itself there is a special indicator that indicates its fullness with water. This option is ideal for people who quite often forget about caring for their "green pets". Models that glow in the dark look original and unusual. They can even be used as another light source or as a night light.
Separately, it is worth highlighting the "treated" solutions, which are also made from plastic. A distinctive feature is the concave bottom inward, while the pot is equipped with two holes: one is responsible for the passage of air, and the second for the drainage of water. This approach provides excellent growth conditions for indoor plants as they can breathe.
Shapes and dimensions
Modern manufacturers offer plastic pots in various shapes. They can be not only square or rectangular, but also triangular and even round.In terms of size, large, medium and small options can be considered. For tall plants, larger models with a volume of 120 or 180 liters are better suited, since they have massive roots. These pots are usually placed outside in the courtyard, although you can also find them on the floor at home. Small and medium pots are suitable for placement on furniture or a windowsill, while you should not forget about the pallet, since it will be he who will collect excess liquid after watering.
Colors and design
Plastic pots surprise you not only with a variety of sizes and shapes, but also with amazing color designs, which allows you to choose the best option for a particular room interior. Usually on sale there are models in white and brown. Pots made of black polystyrene look very nice. But for orchids, of course, a transparent container would be the best solution. It is quite rare to find models in pastel shades: gray, red and beige. Olive, terracotta or malachite pots will become a bright accent of the interior.
If we talk about design solutions, then you should pay attention to glossy models that have a lacquer coating or mirror shine. Often plastic pots are supplemented with drawings: both background and subject. They can be decorated with sticks, dots, curls, or a variety of geometric shapes. Models that mimic the texture of rattan look beautiful. In this case, the print on the product can be made in one color, in several shades, or be embossed. Pots with a cast relief look very impressive. But the attached relief not only decorates the pot, but also makes it more durable.
Manufacturers
Today, quite a few manufacturers (both domestic and foreign) offer a quality product. Pay attention to the company "KostromaPlast"which makes flower pots, boxes and planters. The most popular model is "Tulip" 0.4 l thanks to its ease of use. The pot attracts attention with its amazing design that will look great in various styles of the interior.
