12 indoor plants for pots with legs
We can say that almost all plants are suitable for pots with legs. The main thing is that they are not too large and do not have a lush crown because they can fall over and knock over the pot with soil. Almost all small and medium-sized plants are suitable for such flower pots. We have selected 12 of the most popular plants that look great in planters with legs.
- Alocasia regal shield. At home, such a plant rarely grows more than two meters, so it looks ideal in a pot with legs. Its large leaves grow sideways, but the rather thick trunk makes the plant stable. It will not knock over the pot, so you can choose it for your home or place such a plant in your office.
- Pencil Cactus. A good choice if you like a plant that resembles pine or spruce. It looks very beautiful and does not require a lot of watering. Grow it in a pot with legs and enjoy the comfort of your home. Due to its ease of care, this plant is ideal for commercial premises.
- Stromanthe 'Triostar'. This plant looks luxurious even in a simple pot. But put it in a pot with legs and it will become even more luxurious to decorate your interior.
- Snake Plant. This choice is very popular especially for people who want to have a plant with low maintenance. If you want to choose a pot with legs, it is better that they are not long. The plant grows quite quickly so it is better to avoid it falling in the future.
- Rubber Tree Plant. If you like plants with large leaves, then it is better to choose this species. It has large leaves and medium-length stems, but they grow straight up, so this plant does not need a lot of space to grow, like, for example, a palm tree.
- Monstera. There are lovers of this plant and they also grow it in pots with legs. You can do this too, but choose models with short legs. Also think about adequate space because monstera leaves grow in different directions.
- Peace Lily. This plant is very popular because it looks very elegant and produces delicate flowers in the form of a blanket with a pistil in the middle. If you are lucky and your plant blooms, you will enjoy the delicate aroma several times a year. Despite the fact that Peace Lily is quite lush, it is small in stature so it looks neat even in a flower pot with legs.
- Ficus Benjamina. You can put any medium-sized ficus in a pot with legs. But it is best to choose this type because it is not very lush. Remember that this ficus needs a lot of light, so choose the optimal place for it near the window.
- Dracaena. You should consider this plant because it looks great. Even a flower pot with legs will give it an even more luxurious appearance. The height of the legs can be different; dracaena grows very tall. Its lush crown has small long leaves, so the dracaena is quite stable and does not take up much space in the room.
- Norfolk Pine. This plant looks very fluffy and funny because it is one of the subspecies of pine. Most often it is chosen for office premises to add a little coziness to the working atmosphere. But you can grow it at home if there is enough space in the room to install a pot. The plant can be quite tall so do not use a pot with long legs.
- Money Tree. If you give it a big pot it will grow tall. But more often this plant is of medium size and you can put it in a pot with legs. Money Tree looks stylish especially thanks to its intertwining trunks. Do not forget to turn the plant so that it grows evenly, otherwise it will stretch sideways towards the light.
- Fiddle Leaf Fig. If you like this plant and are not afraid of its pickiness in care, then you can choose it for your home. This plant is not suitable for the office; it needs a lot of attention and care. But at home it will delight you with its large leaves and luxurious appearance.
Create a cozy and warm atmosphere with plants and flowers. Place them in pots on legs to make it easier for you to clean the floor or move the pot. Such models look very elegant in any interior, so you will make your home more comfortable and beautiful. Almost all plants are suitable for such pots, just do not choose very large types that continue to grow and become more magnificent. Pots with legs can stand not only on the floor; place several small models on the windowsill or very small ones on the table. Planters on legs are quite stable because the weight of the soil and plant is added to the weight of the pot.
