Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a complete newbie, plant baskets are a versatile and stylish way to showcase your favourite plants.

We'll also look at the advantages of using plant baskets, how to choose the right size, and the dos and don'ts of plant basket care for first beginners.
What are plant baskets?
Plant baskets are essentially baskets that are designed to hold plants. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from small hanging baskets for tiny plants to large baskets for full-grown trees. Most plant baskets are made from natural materials such as rattan, bamboo or wicker, although you can also find synthetic options made from materials such as plastic or metal.
How do plant baskets work?
Plant baskets work by providing a container for your plants. The basket holds the soil and the plant, allowing it to grow and thrive. Plant baskets can be used both indoors and outdoors, depending on the type of plant and the environment.
What are plant baskets made of?
As mentioned, plant baskets are typically made from natural materials such as rattan, bamboo, or wicker – durable, lightweight, and eco-friendly materials. Synthetic options made from materials such as plastic or metal are also available, but they may not have the same aesthetic appeal as natural options. They are, however, much more durable then natural alternatives.
Advantages of using plant baskets
There are many advantages to using plant baskets; firstly, they are a great way to add greenery and life to your home or garden. Lacking a bit of diversity? Simply add a plant basket to create a focal point or to fill an empty corner.
Secondly, they are a versatile and stylish way to display your plants. They come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect basket for your particular plant. Thirdly, they are easy to care for, with most simply requiring regular watering and occasional fertilising.
How to choose the right size plant basket for your houseplants.
Choosing the right size plant basket is important to ensure that your plant has enough room to grow. The general rule of thumb is to choose a basket that is one size larger than the plant's current pot. For example, if your plant is currently in a six-inch pot, choose a basket that is eight inches in diameter. This will give your plant enough room to grow without overwhelming it.
