Indoor Plant Pots
Indoor plant pots and planters that finish a room - glazed ceramics, warm terracotta and clever cover pots for every houseplant you own and the ones you are about to buy.
What are the best indoor plant pots?
The best indoor plant pots are cover pots 1 to 2cm wider than the plastic nursery pot your plant arrived in. Leave the plant in its nursery pot, water it over the sink, then drop it back inside. You get no mess on the shelf and no waterlogged roots.
- Cover pots need no drainage hole - the nursery pot has one
- Size a cover pot 1 to 2cm wider than the nursery pot
- Pots with drainage need a matching saucer indoors
- Glazed ceramic holds moisture; terracotta dries faster
About our indoor plant pots
A houseplant is only half-dressed without the right pot. Call them indoor planters or plant pots for indoors - either way, this is where the room comes together. Our indoor plant pots are chosen to do two jobs at once: keep your plant healthy underneath, and make the room look properly finished on top. The range runs from small house plant pots for windowsill herbs and trailing cuttings up to house plant pots large enough for a statement monstera, in glazed ceramic, classic terracotta and light, practical plastic. Indoor plant pots and planters here come in two types - pots with drainage holes and matching saucers for direct planting, and cover pots that hide the plastic nursery pot for zero-mess watering. Styling plant pots indoors works best in odd numbers - a trio on the shelf beats a lonely one.

Indoor Plant Pots - FAQs
Should I plant directly into the pot or use it as a cover pot?
Either works. Direct planting needs a drainage hole and a saucer. A cover pot is easier - keep the plant in its plastic nursery pot, sit it inside, and lift it out to water.
Will these pots mark my floors or windowsills?
Use a saucer under any pot with a drainage hole, and felt pads under heavy ceramics. Our pot and saucer sets bundle the two together.
What size do most houseplants need?
The majority of common houseplants live happily in a 16 to 25cm pot. Check the nursery pot your plant came in and go 3 to 5cm wider.
How do I water indoor pots without making a mess?
Keep the plant in its plastic nursery pot inside a decorative cover pot. Lift the inner pot out, water it at the sink, let it drain, then put it back. No drips, no soggy compost sitting in the base, no marks on your furniture.
How often do houseplants need repotting?
Young, fast-growing houseplants need a new pot every year or two, while mature plants can wait three years or more. Spring is the best time. Roots circling the surface or growing through the drainage holes are the clearest signs it is due.
