If you're a plant lover then chances are you've run into a major problem that eventually plagues all of us: where are you going to put all of your verdant green growing babies? That's where a quality plant stand comes in. A plant stand can ensure your plants are off the floor and ensure they aren't left languishing in a corner or tucked away on a bookshelf.
When picking a plant stand there are a few things to keep in mind. You'll want something that is suitable for your plants, and your design aesthetic. With that in mind, there are a few things to consider.
- Materials: Not all stands are made from the same materials. A metal option might be suitable for keeping larger planters stable, while wicker might not be sturdy enough to get the job done. You'll want to keep a careful eye on both what the stand is made of, and how much weight it can hold safely.
- Size: Plant stands can be suitable for a single small plant, or be large enough to hold several plants of different sizes. You also want to ensure that the plant stand is going to fit into whatever space you have available, especially if you're in a smaller space like living in an apartment.
