Plant pots that bring your home to life
Indoor pots that finish a room, frost-proof planters that shrug off a British January, and the right pot for your orchid, your herbs or a statement fig. Chosen for drainage and proportion first, looks a very close second.

Where is it going?
Pick the spot and we will show you the pots built for it — the right size, the right material, the right amount of personality.
Where do I start when buying plant pots?
Start with the spot, then the size. Measure the pot your plant is in now and go 3 to 5cm wider. Indoors, a cover pot over the nursery pot is the least messy option; outdoors, choose frost-proof plastic or fibreclay so British winters do not crack it.
- Go 3 to 5cm wider than the current root ball, never more
- Every pot needs drainage, or use a cover pot over the nursery pot
- Frost-proof plastic and fibreclay survive UK freeze-thaw winters
- Terracotta dries fastest; glazed ceramic holds moisture longest

Gold, copper and brushed steel for a bit of shine. Modern rooms, meet your match.
Shop metal →By plant
What are you actually potting?
Different plants, different pots. Orchids want airflow, herbs want drainage, and your fig wants more room than you think.
Monstera
Climbing, top-heavy and hungry for support
See the pots →Orchids
Roots that need light, air and fast drainage
See the pots →Herbs
Small pots, sharp drainage, within reach of the hob
See the pots →Succulents & cacti
Small terracotta and grit - never an oversized pot

Roots need room
Measure the pot your plant is in now and go 3 to 5cm wider. Any more and the compost stays wet; any less and it strangles.
