Indoor And Outdoor Planters – All You Need To Know About Them
So you’ve finally decided to use plants and planters to deck up your site. Whether you’re redoing the garden, sidewalk or open sections of your industrial site or office garden, or decking up the interiors, plants and planters are a great way to do the trick!
What Kind Of Options Do You Have?
There are broadly two types of planters that you need to pick from. And these depend on the place that you’re looking to refurbish. If you want to fill up your interiors, windowsills or porch, then you’re going to have to go for indoor planters. Indoor planters are small and lightweight planters that are usually tailor made for indoor usage and conditions. The other type of planters is your regular outdoor garden planter. Outdoor planters are usually large and imposing, designed to fill space and house bigger plants, trees and shrubs.
Indoor Planters
Indoor planters can be placed at a variety of places- right from the porch to your kitchen’s windowsill. There’s nothing like a warm cup of coffee and the sight of fresh sunlight penetrating your window first thing in the morning! Indoor planters are reputed to increase the supply of oxygen inside your house and in removing carbon dioxide and stale air.
Indoor planters are light in weight and small in size. No one in their right mind would want to grow a tree inside their house, so indoor planters are perfect for growing small vegetable patches and flower beds. Pretty, small and petite, indoor planters are a great value addition to any house’s interior.
Indoor planters are usually made of ceramic or wood. Ceramic being non porous can prevent your house floor or windowsill from becoming a dreaded, damp mess owing to its non porous nature. Wooden indoor planters need to have a lining of plastic in order to prevent rotting. You definitely don’t want rotting wood inside your house, so it’s important to make sure soil doesn’t sit on any wooden surface to exempt them from rotting.
Outdoor Planters
Outdoor planters are usually utilized to fill large open spaces such as patios gardens, pathways and to mark great boundaries in golf courses, street walks and industrial venues. Outdoor planters are also larger in size and easier on the decoration when compared to their indoor counterparts.
While indoor planters are primarily made of wood or ceramic, outdoor planters are usually heavy wood such as teak, or concrete in material. Outdoor garden planters are at the mercy of the elements of weather, and are prone to house larger and heavier plants and trees. So it is important to use heavy weight wooden and concrete planters for outside purposes in order to stabilize the foundation of the tree or plant. Outdoor planters are also prone to heavy impact and damage from kids, pests, vehicles and pets- so its important that they are sturdy, strong and heavy-duty in nature to save you from the trouble of relocating the plant or fixing up the planter itself!
