As your collection grows in quantity and size, you'll need large decorative pots for indoor plants to keep your flora healthy. And, it won't hurt if they're stylish, too.
While some green selections do nicely on shelves or countertops, other sizable leafy pieces require a display area or floor space of their own — and we've uncovered just what you need for the occasion.
Let's be honest, half the fun of selecting the best indoor plants is finding cute pots to house them. Our expert shoppers have gathered larger selections for your apartment garden, all while keeping your budget in mind.

"Plants are one of the easiest and most natural options to brighten up your personal space," says Alfred Palomares, the vice president of merchandising and self-described resident plant dad at 1-800-Flowers.com, the retailer which named the 2024 plant and flower of the year.
We couldn't agree more, but we'd be remiss not to credit the cute plant accessories that help keep them nourished.
When working with large decorative pots, you'll want to ensure there's a proper drainage system — or easy ways to remove your plants, if not — the pot itself is roughly two inches larger than the plant itself, and the roots have enough space to absorb nutrients and grow.
