1. A mid-century modern-inspired cement planter embossed with white leaves to really hammer home your botanical aesthetic. It comes in both earth tones and bright colors.
Promising review: "I was regretting spending a little more than my usual but I loved this design and color. I’m so happy I got it. I regret nothing. First the packaging was perfect! It screams quality. Once I’ve put my beloved little plant in its new awesome home, what could go wrong? All is right with the world. A fine purchase indeed. It’s art." —Bonnie
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
2. A ceramic pot and stand combo that spares you the hunt for a matching stand (since they're usually sold separately). This boho-style pot will really ~elevate~ your decor (and, literally, your plant).
Promising review: "Love love love! It came with a plug so you don't have to worry about leakage. The quality was better than expected and perfect! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. I searched and searched for a ceramic pot and was going to buy a separate stand for it...the fact that this pot comes WITH the stand was a major bonus and a perfect fit." —Hannah
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors).
3. A vintage-y hobnail-textured ceramic planter with a gorgeous glazed finish. Multiple reviewers say it looks more expensive than it actually is.
Promising review: "A beautiful pot; I’m obsessed and just love how the pink complements the aesthetic of my room. It’s a great product, well made, not too heavy for my shelves. The drainage hole is a decent size, and it came with a little stop that’s similar to the mesh circles. It came in a decent amount of time and well packaged, without any damage. Completely recommend and will be buying other colors soon!" —Sam
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
4. An ombre planter that brings the most gorgeous pop of color to any corner of the home.
Kailo Chic is a small biz with a gorgeous array of colorful home items, all of which are handmade or designed in Austin, Texas. Be sure to check out their other planters too, because they're all simply ✨ gorgeous ✨.
Promising review: "This little planter is so bright and lovely! I ordered the medium size with a drainage hole drilled, and it's perfect. Shipped as advertised, arrived in great shape. Colors are as advertised too. It brightened up my porch and my pencil cactus is SO much happier in this ceramic pot than its previous plastic one." —Trimble
Get it from Kailo Chic on Etsy for $17.49+ (available in five ombre patterns and six sizes).
5. A detailed hippie van planter as free-spirited as you are. You can keep it as is or let your creativity flow and paint it yourself!

Get it from The Concrete Letter on Etsy for $28.
6. A set of minimal planters with gold stands both simple and elegant, enhancing your plants' beauty without stealing the show.
Promising review: "I am very pleased with these planters. The base is sturdy and the planters look ceramic but are lightweight. I had been searching for this style planter at the larger retail home decor stores but they were always so expensive! Then I found this listing that offered three sizes for less than one planter in my previous searches. Score! 100% recommend these. They look amazing." —Kim.84
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in sets of two or three, and in black, white, or gold).
7. A hanging planter perfect for a kitchen herb garden setup, especially if counter space is at a premium. You can slide the ropes along the metal rod to adjust placement and adjust the lengths of each planter to really customize it to your space.
It also comes with all the mounting hardware you need. Do note that these don't have drainage holes, so you can either line these with rocks, drill a small hole, or just set a smaller pot inside. One reviewer specifically recommended these insert pots with drainage to go with this set; you can see how well they fit here.
Promising review: "We have a small kitchen, but wanted to start a little herb 'garden' during quarantine. Decided to buy this because it matches the midcentury modern style we have going at home, and it adds nice layering and personality to the kitchen by the window. It's easy to assemble and is perfect for growing little herbs (currently got sage, oregano, and cilantro in there)." —Babadook
Get it from Amazon for $50 (available in four colors).
8. A set of two white planters with gray and gold accents that complement each other without being too matchy-matchy. Note that these don't have drainage holes — which might be ideal if you're not looking to deal with any leaks on your furniture.
Promising review: "I love how these planters look. Minimal, but with a cute contemporary look. I love how they look like a set, but not identical. The only tip I have is to make sure you are careful when repotting, and not to touch the sides with dirt on your hands. They are slightly porous, so it will show stains. I was able to wipe it off right away, but just an FYI." —Diana
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes).
9. A vibrant blue glazed pot gorgeous enough to buy as accent decor for a room, filled or empty — but it looks especially pretty sitting in a brightly lit window with a plant inside.
I have had this pot for years and love it! Though it comes in multiple colors, I have the blue floral design in large, and it's as vibrant in person as it looks in the photos. It's a bit heavy, so keep that in mind if you're planning to put on a shelf, but I like that it's sturdy enough that my cats can't knock it over accidentally, and it feels very high quality. Do note that this pot doesn't have a drainage hole in the bottom! I have my ZZ plant inside a smaller pot (the one it came in) that I set inside of this one for decorative purposes, and I just take it out to water — easy peasy.
Promising review: "Love it, super pretty! The color is a real beautiful blue and it looks great in my kitchen window. Happy with the quality." —kacchic
Get it from Amazon for $13.64+ (available in three sizes, two styles, and four colors).
10. A hanging ceramic pot held up by rope, perfect for trailing plants like string of pearls or pothos so they have plenty of room to grow (while saving you space on the windowsill for non-hanging plant bbs).
Promising review: "Omg love this plant hanger! Very sturdy and the ceramic pot part is beautiful and thick. Not flimsy or cheap! Great purchase especially for the price. In real life it is exactly as the product looks in the advertised picture." —Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available as a single or a pack of two).
11. A vintage-inspired patterned planter that looks like something you might have picked up at the local antique shop, with natural-looking imperfections that look handmade (in a good way). Reviewers say it's heavy and feels well made, too.
Promising review: "The pot I received is very nice. Yes, there are slight inconsistencies, but to me it looks very authentic and handmade. The pot is super sturdy and as another reviewer mentioned, it seems much bigger in person. I really like that this pot was designed with a removable drainage hole. You can water the plant, and when the water has drained out simply wipe off the bottom and reinsert the drain plug and place it back on the counter — unlike other pots where you may need to wait hours for the bottom to fully dry. I'm very happy with my purchase." —Lori Colt
Get it from Amazon for $18.11+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
12. A ceramic and steel tabletop planter to provide a sleek, modern home for your favorite succulent. It's the perfect size for a desk, if you're looking to add some greenery to your workspace.
Promising reviews: "Exactly as pictured! I wanted a planter that was on the smaller side, but was still an elevated planter-in-a-stand variety. On a practical side, the planter stays level in the frame, even when slightly jostled. I put a couple of succulents in it, an Echeveria, and one of the creeping 'string of' varieties." —NB
"GREAT VALUE! They have no drain holes, but I added a layer of rocks for the succulents to have some drainage. They look beautiful and do not feel cheap at all." —Cassie Santellan
Get it from Amazon for $17.05.
13. A mid-century, two-toned planter topped with a reactive glaze that makes each pot truly unique, with a geometric pattern along the bottom providing striking visual contrast.
Promising review: "It is definitely a little smaller than I anticipated (medium size, I could have definitely sized up) but that would be for my lack of busting out an actual measuring tape. It's a great material, the design printing on the ceramic is vivid and clean not messy at all, and the coral color is not too bright but has the perfect 'pop' to it! The medium works, but I will definitely get the large also and make them a group! The mint is beautiful also and may end up out by my pool!" —Tiffany Paradise
Get it from Amazon for $41.93+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
14. A gold turtle planter to remind you to slow down and take it easy sometimes.
Promising review: "It’s beautiful and just as described! It goes great with my room decor and I know it can easily fit any style change. It also has weight to it, which is nice because it’s sturdy enough to not fall over. It comes with a liner inside to prevent any damage to the metal." —Isela
Get it from Anthropologie for $34.
15. A set of geometric ceramic planters so you can fill that empty wall with both plants *and* art — who said you had to pick one?
16. Or an assortment of minimalistic wall planters held up by striking copper metal, with one larger planter to offset the four smaller ones visually.
Promising review: "I needed a wall-hanging planter and this is exactly what I was looking for! It easily matches the rest of my decor and is really nice to look at. The planter came in foam and bubble wrap with original packaging, and arrived without a scratch. It's finished in the inside, so watering my plant while it's on the wall won't result in seepage. It came with instructions and hardware, super easy installation. I was worried that the white option would be difficult to keep clean, but everything wipes right off without staining. I have some tradescantia zebrina (wandering jew) cuttings I propagated in there, and as they grow they'll trail, adding a great pop of color to my living room. I highly recommend this planter." —Fox-c Anderson
Get them from Amazon for $18.80+ (available in two sizes, plus a non-hanging version for desks and tables, and in five colors and metal finishes).
17. A stacking ceramic planter that seamlessly integrates the drip tray into the overall planter design, making for a truly unique piece of functional decor. The top part lifts up for easy watering and cleaning of the drip tray!

Get it from Coming Soon for $100 (available in two colors). It's also available in a mini version for $34!
18. A rattan planter with gorgeous woven detailing around the sides, perfect for a classic boho style.
You'll want to put a potted plant in this, of course, and reviewers say the sizing is a bit awkward — it's relatively short compared to the diameter, and you'll want to keep the height of your inner pot under 6 inches. One reviewer recommends looking for a traditional bulb pan, or azalea pot, which is designed to be shorter and fits perfectly in this planter. Something like this should work!
Promising reviews: "Super cute planter!! I had been wanting it forever and finally snagged it. The size is definitely awkward but I managed to get a plant in there just fine with a fabric planter that I cut to size and a plastic tray under it, inside the planter (had to squish it in there). A little tricky but great!" —Leanna F.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $59 (available in two colors).
19. An adorable set of five tiny ceramic planters for all those succulents you spontaneously buy at the local farmer's market or plant store. There's no such thing as too many!
Promising review: "These are perfect for planting real succulents or using with fake ones. The little pots are the perfect size and have a rough stone-like outside. The colors are a perfect variety of pastels. I paired with some bright succulents and they are a great addition to my living room decor. They do have little holes in the bottom for real planting. Packaged so neat and safe. Could easily gift them to someone. I kept the box and foam inserts to use for moving them." —Combatbarbie365
Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.99.
20. An eye-catching speckled pot that'll quickly become the star of your windowsill.

Get it from Franca for $48+ (available in three sizes and five patterns).
21. A set of three gold terrarium boxes to create gorgeous little homes for your succulents, air plants, and other small plants, with room to add moss, small gems, and other decor to complete the look.
Promising review: "They looked nice online but they're even nicer and sturdier in person. They're going to make a gorgeous terrarium for some succulents and I'm very excited to have them around the house after the wedding too. They looked amazing when I got them and would definitely buy from Mkono again in the future!!!" —steemedjellyfish
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in two sizes and two colors).
If you need some help getting started, you can also pick up this terrarium kit that comes with all the essentials, like gravel, moss, and charcoal, so you don't have to buy in bulk.
22. A set of four glazed ceramic pots in a truly gorgeous shade of green that you don't see every day. Each pot has a slightly different geometric pattern on it, giving some visual contrast while still tying together beautifully as a set.
Promising review: "This set of ceramic pots are gorgeous! They just arrived today and this review is either the first or one of two I have ever written on Amazon. They came well packaged, nothing was broken, they have a nice glaze, and also have drainage holes and saucers. I ordered some mesh to cover the holes. The ceramic is a smidge thinner than other ceramic pots I’ve ordered but, considering the size of the pots and the inclusion of drainage holes and saucers, I don’t think people should be picky. I’m certain I would spend over $10 for one of these pots in most stores. I also like that each pot has a different design. They’re beautiful! I believe this is a great investment and will add a nice touch to anyone’s decor." —Ju
Get a set of four from Amazon for $32.99 (available in three colors).
