Bringing home a new houseplant sparks a certain kind of joy. And to experience an additional boost of happiness? Get your new leafy roommate a lovely space of its own — a charming pot that matches and elevates your room’s aesthetic.
Plus, as writer Jackie Reeve, who has a collection of more than 70 (!) houseplants, puts it: “It turns out that putting a houseplant in a gorgeous pot is an excellent way to remind yourself to pay attention to it.”
To find the very best plant pots, we spoke with several gardening experts, researched more than 100 planters, and tested 23. We walked away with 15 chic favorites, including a cool glass pot, a confetti resin stunner, a scalloped terra-cotta beauty, and a … disco ball.
