Plant stands can be multi-tiered, standalone, hanging, tabletop, or corner, and come in all different shapes, all to fit your style and space. “When selecting the suitable plant stand, you should consider the number of plants it can take, your desired vision or inspiration of the final composition, practicality, and the height relative to the sun's position,” says Melvin Cubian, the resident botanist at Plantin. You’ll also want to ensure the shelves comfortably hold your pot(s) weight and size. You don’t want to monopolize a room with a giant plant stand (unless you’re going for a jungle look), and depending on how many plants you have, you may need a larger stand or multiple small ones. The biggest constraint in picking your plant stand is the size of your space. Although depending on whether you’re putting the plant stand indoors or outdoors, some materials may be better than others. The material you choose depends on your personal preference, style, and existing home decor. Below, we rounded up some plant stands we like - along with a few bookshelves, end tables, step stools, art-supply carts, wooden crates, and more things you can also definitely put plants on.Plant stands come in various materials, including wood, metal, steel, bamboo, and more. No matter what kind of “stand” you choose, though, you’ll want something that has an open design to let in light and that can support a decent amount of weight and hold up to the occasional water spill. If you have a medium-size plant teetering off the edge of your windowsill, why not put it on top of a stool instead, or a bar cart, or floating shelves? If you’re a bit of a plant hoarder, with every square inch of floor and table surfaces covered, you can use rolling utility carts, shoe benches, or bookcases to better organize your collection. Thankfully, a plant stand can really be any object you can place a plant on, and one sweep of the internet will reveal that you can put plants on lots of things. Both styles can be good-looking and super-functional, but they’re also a bit limiting.
Traditional plant stands seem to come in two styles: those mid-century-modern ones that stay low to the ground and fit just one big pot, and the more bookshelf-style bamboo units with a few shelves that can hold a bunch of smaller plants. Photo-Illustration: The Strategist Photos: Retailers
