How to make your plants shine with the right pot🪴
A plant without a pot is like a painting without a frame. The pot isn’t just functional — it’s the stage where your green companion gets to shine. Whether you choose terracotta, ceramic, or concrete, the right pot elevates your plant both literally and visually. In this blog, you’ll discover how to choose pots that suit your style, your space, and your plants.
🎨 Pots as style makers
The pot sets the tone. It can bring calm, create contrast, or make a bold statement. Think of:
- Terracotta: warm, earthy, and timeless. Perfect for boho or Mediterranean interiors.
- Ceramics: sleek, glossy or matte — ideal for Scandinavian or Japandi styles.
- Concrete or stone: bold and industrial. Pairs beautifully with upright plants like Sansevieria.
- Rattan or woven baskets: airy and natural — perfect for trailing plants or a jungle vibe.
Tip: Choose pots that complement your interior, not overpower it. Let the plant remain the star.
🧱 Height, scale & shape
A pot is more than just a color — size and shape matter just as much:
- Tall pots add elegance to slender plants (think: Zamioculcas).
- Low, wide pots work well for rosette-shaped plants like Sansevieria.
- Hanging pots are ideal for Pilea, Scindapsus, or Rhipsalis — they add movement and dimension.
- Plant stands or tables help create height variation and visual balance.
Mix different heights and shapes for a playful effect — try a trio with varied pots and plants.
🧘 Pot & plant: the perfect match
Sommige planten vragen om een specifieke potstijl:
| Plant | Pot Style |
|---|---|
| Monstera Minima | Matte ceramic in sage green or white |
| Sansevieria | Concrete or black ceramic |
| Calathea | Glossy ceramic or rattan |
| Ficus Tineke | White pot or terracotta |
| Pilea Peperomioides | Hanging pot or shallow bowl |
Also consider leaf color: variegated foliage pops in neutral pots, while deep green leaves contrast beautifully with lighter tones.
🧼 Practical meets beautiful
Beyond styling, functionality matters too:
- Choose pots with drainage holes or use a nursery pot inside a decorative one.
- Add clay pebbles at the bottom for better water management.
- Make sure the pot suits the plant’s growth — too small can stunt it, too large may cause root rot.
Tip: Use a nursery pot inside a cachepot — it makes repotting and watering easier and cleaner.
🌟 In the end: the pot as an extension of your style
The right pot doesn’t just make your plant shine — it says something about you. About your taste, your space, your rhythm. Whether you lean toward calm, contrast, or playfulness: let your pots be part of your green story.
