There’s no doubt about it: indoor plants have become more and more popular over the years, as businesses wise up to the many benefits of being near plants. But the real rising star in our industry in recent times has to be the container.

The humble plant pot now comes in many forms, sizes, colours and materials and ensures that a planting display can sit happily in any setting.

Polished steel planters for slick corporate settings, large bespoke wooden planters with seating for communal areas, glossy synthetic containers in a spectrum of both bold and subtle shades, not to mention luxurious golds and coppers, seashell mosaics: there are endless ways to show off your plants these days.

But among all these newcomers, the original, in fact centuries-old, plant pot material still endures, and is looking better than ever.
