Display Your Favorite Houseplants on These Stylish Plant Stands

Whether you've just started collecting plants or you consider yourself to be an amateur horticulturist, the right plant stand can really bring your plants to life—literally and figuratively. Pots and planters are a great place for plants to live, but plant stands bring dimension and style to any room and really showcase your plants. Plant stands elevate houseplants so they're off the ground and on display. They come in two styles: Ones that hold a single plant, are low to the ground and tend to have a midcentury modern vibe, and ones that are more like an actual display shelf that can hold multiple plants and look great while doing it.

Not only do plant holders make the most of your greenery and act as a decorative item in your home, they can also save space by consolidating your plant display to one area.

‌Size:‌ The height, diameter and shape of a plant stand are important factors and will depend on the type of plant you plan on setting there. Short and wide plant displays work best for wide-growing plants, while tall plant stands are ideal for smaller plants or climbing plants with long vines. You can find plant stands that can be adjusted as the plants grow and need a larger pot or if you decide to switch out the plant with one that's a different size. It's also a good idea to take a look at the weight limit of a plant stand, otherwise, you could end up with a plant that's too heavy and it could topple over when the plant stand collapses from the weight. Of course, the dimensions are also important so you can make sure the plant stand fits in your space.

‌Indoor Versus Outdoor:‌ You can find plant stands for both inside your home and outside. If you want to set the plant stand on a porch, patio or other outdoor space, you'll need to make sure that it's weather-resistant. Outdoor plant stands are helpful in keeping your plants off the ground and away from pests. You can find both indoor and outdoor plant stands that come on wheels, whether it's to move all your plants together to find more sunlight or to take them outside for repotting day.

‌Single Versus Multi-Plant Stands:‌ If you have multiple smaller plants to showcase, you might want to consider buying a multi-plant stand as opposed to several single plant stands. A plant shelf can save space by holding several plants and allows you to display plants by size, with the larger ones on the bottom and smaller plants and trailing plants on top. Many of them also come in handy for displaying other decorative items like photos and trinkets. Additionally, many multi-plant stands are multi-tier. Some need to be mounted to a wall, while others can sit next to a couch, table or other areas in your home.
