Single stands are great if you want to make an impact with one impressive specimen or you're trying to raise the plant so it's visible behind a sofa or similar furniture item.Photo-Illustration: The Strategist Photos: Retailers If you have limited wall space or just want an alternative place to display your plants, opt for a multi-plant stand. Plant shelves are a great option for displaying multiple plants or for incorporating them with other decorative items, but like hanging planters, they don't work for taller indoor trees or bigger plants. Untreated, delicate wood, for example, won't last long when exposed to the elements. If you plan to use your plant stand on a porch or other outdoor space, you'll need to select one that is weather-resistant. You don't want it to collapse under the weight of a plant that's too heavy for the construction. Some stands are adjustable, and this offers more flexibility as a plant grows or if you want to use it for a different plant in the future.Īlways check the maximum load capacity for the stand too.

Taller plant stands are good for smaller plants or those with trailing vines, and short, sturdy stands work better for elevating larger, wide-growing specimens. The shape, height, and diameter of the plant stand you choose will depend on the type of plant or plants you plan to house on it.

What to Look For in a Plant Stand Height and Diameter If you need something to support a heavy pot, we recommend the Bosmere Down Under Plant Caddie ( view at Amazon) thanks to its ease of movement and minimal design. We love the simple sophistication of the Mercury Row Lofgren Multi-Tiered Plant Stand ( view at Wayfair) because of its aesthetic flexibility. Whether you’re new to planting or have a selection that would strike up a conversation with even the most skilled horticulturist, how you choose to display your plants says a lot about you.
