Wicker Plant Pots

Wicker plant pots are natural containers for plants made from hand‑woven willow wicker canes that combine practicality with distinctive aesthetics. These eco-friendly wicker covers introduce a warm, rustic character to any interior or garden space while providing plants with optimal growing conditions thanks to natural ventilation.

Where do wicker planters work best?

Stylish wicker planters are versatile both indoors and outdoors. In the living room and bedroom they work perfectly as elegant covers for large houseplants like monsteras or palms, creating cozy boho or Scandinavian‑style arrangements. In the kitchen, wicker containers are ideal for growing fresh herbs — basil, mint or rosemary — combining practicality with decorative appeal.

On balconies and terraces, wicker plant baskets create charming displays with seasonal flowers, ornamental grasses or small shrubs. Their light weight makes them easy to move, allowing you to adapt arrangements by season. In gardens, garden wicker is well suited for relaxation areas, harmonizing with wooden garden furniture and natural stone. Wicker garden decorations are also popular in cafés, restaurants and hotels where they help create a welcoming, natural atmosphere.

Why choose wicker pots?

The main advantage of wicker pots is their ecological nature — wicker, as a natural, renewable material, is fully biodegradable, making these products an excellent choice for environmentally conscious customers. Unlike plastic containers, eco pots can be safely composted at end of life (after removing any plastic liner).

Natural aesthetics are another key benefit — the woven wicker adds warmth and coziness to any space and blends well with a variety of interior styles. The functionality of the pots is evident in the natural ventilation provided by the wicker's open structure, which supports healthy root growth. Thanks to their low weight, plant baskets are easy to move, making redecorating or seasonal plant relocation simple.

Wicker plant pots also demonstrate surprising versatility — once they’ve outlived their use as plant containers, they can be repurposed as decorative trays, organizers for supplies or storage baskets for small items, increasing their overall utility.

How to care for wicker plant pots?

Proper maintenance of wicker pots primarily requires protecting them with an internal plastic liner or special bags that shield the wicker from direct contact with moisture and soil. Regular cleaning should be done with a dry cloth or soft brush to remove dust from the weave; for heavier dirt use a slightly damp sponge with mild detergent. Outdoor pots need periodic protection from the elements using natural wood preservatives or by moving them to sheltered areas during heavy rain.

What types of wicker planters can you choose?

Round wicker pots are the classic shape, available in sizes ranging from small herb containers (diameter 20–30 cm) to large covers for houseplants (diameter 50–60 cm). Rectangular and oval forms work perfectly as balcony boxes and are often fitted with metal brackets for railing mounting.

Tall columnar wicker pots are an elegant solution for single statement plants, while shallow, wide containers are great for compositions of several smaller plants. There are also hanging pots equipped with chains or cords, ideal for trailing or vining plants.

In terms of finish, we offer pots made from natural, unvarnished wicker with a matte, rustic look and varnished or painted models that provide greater moisture resistance and a wider color palette. Steamed wicker is darker and more durable, while white wicker adds lightness and freshness to arrangements.
