Most people think of a planter as a container with plants hanging from it. In fact, there are many more types of them. Unlike a pot, a cache-pot has no holes in the bottom. In this regard, it would be wrong to plant flowers in it. Its main purpose is to hide a simple container with flowers. Outwardly, these products look, as a rule, thematic and colorful, so it is not difficult to choose a product that suits your interior.
Let’s consider the main reasons for using a cache-pot.
It is easier to change its appearance than to transplant flowers into a new container.
Flower pots, in particular, made of ceramic, can accumulate white coating, which is desirable to hide.
When using pots with pallets, water may overflow over the edges. This can cause water to get on expensive furniture, other interior elements, and parquetry that is unstable to moisture. In addition, over time, pallets do not look very aesthetically pleasing.
In winter, this product helps to increase the humidity around the flowers, but to provide this function, it must have a diameter at least three centimeters larger than the plant pot.
Helps to provide balance to plants that are unstable, tall, or hanging.
You can use supports for climbing flowers by placing them in the gap between the planter and the pot. This eliminates the need to insert them into the ground, touching the roots of the flowers.
First of all, flowerpots can be bright and striking, or they can have a neutral, strict look and not stand out. Their appearance plays a very important role, since it is the main purpose of these decorative products. When buying, you need to remember that the brighter they look, the more inconspicuous the plant itself will be. If the plant is blooming, you need to pay attention to the harmony of its flowers with the color scheme of these products.
The sale of hanging and floor-mounted versions of pots, as well as flower baskets, is widespread. Previously, hanging varieties were used exclusively for orchids, and later they began to be used for ampelous plants. Hanging models are easily mounted on ceiling beams, curtain rods and other interior elements located high above the floor.
Also popular are pots made of ceramic without drainage and a pallet with a glazed planter. You can plant a plant in the most ordinary unglazed pot made of terracotta clay, which is well breathable, and place it in a ceramic pot of the appropriate design.
There are also modern decorative products that take the form of containers and compositions consisting of small pots located at different levels. They look very impressive. When buying them, you should keep in mind that plants with the same requirements are planted in them. It is important to water them at the same time and provide them with sufficient light and heat for full growth.
