Hey, fellow plant lovers! 🌿 If you're anything like me, your home is slowly (or rapidly) transforming into a lush jungle. You’ve got plants on every shelf, hanging from the ceiling, and maybe even sneaking into the bathroom (shoutout to the shower ferns!). But if your plants are thriving, they deserve to live in something as fabulous as they are, right? Enter: handcrafted ceramics. Because let’s be real—your beloved Monstera is too good for that boring (basic) plastic pot it came in.
Here’s the lowdown on how to style your plants with Khaos Creates’ handmade pottery, so your home jungle looks like it stepped straight out of a Pinterest board. Let’s get planting! 🌱
1. Match Shapes and Sizes: Don’t Squeeze the ZZ!
First things first—size matters (when it comes to planters, anyway). Your plant should have enough room to stretch its roots and grow happy and healthy. Take your ZZ Plant, for example. This low-maintenance beauty deserves a pot that gives it some space but also keeps things snug enough to avoid drowning it in water.
Our Plant Mama Combo Pot is perfect for plants like ZZs, ferns, or pothos. Its medium size and gently curved shape give your plant plenty of room to spread, while the built-in drainage holes ensure you won’t accidentally turn it into a swamp. Plus, it looks adorable—kind of like a cozy little home for your plant to thrive in.
Pro Tip:
If your plant looks like it’s giving you the side-eye because it's outgrowing its pot (think roots poking out), it’s time to size up! Treat it to a bigger handcrafted ceramic, and watch it flourish.
2. Color Coordinating: Your Fiddle Leaf Fig’s Fashion Moment
Let’s talk color—because not every plant has the same aesthetic, and neither should your pots. The key is to balance your plant’s natural beauty with a pot that complements its vibe. For instance, your baby Fiddle Leaf Fig, with its dramatic leaves, is already making a statement. So, it’s best to pair it with something understated but chic, like our minimalist Geo Pot. It lets your plant steal the spotlight without clashing with your decor.
If you’ve got plants with more subtle foliage (like a Snake Plant or Peace Lily), don’t be afraid to go bold with the pot! Think vibrant glazes or unique designs—something like our Bonsai Cachepot that adds a pop of color without overpowering the plant’s natural look.
Pro Tip:
Stick to a color scheme that reflects your space’s vibe. Neutral ceramics work great if you’ve got a ton of plants, letting the greenery shine. On the flip side, if your collection is more curated, don’t be afraid to add a splash of color here and there with a statement pot!
3. Mixing Textures: Smooth Ceramics, Spiky Plants
Texture is the secret ingredient to giving your home jungle some extra oomph. Got a cactus or spiky succulent that’s all about that desert vibe? Pair it with one of our smooth, matte-finish planters for a stunning contrast. The Plant Daddy Cache Pot is a great option—it gives your spiky friend an understated, cool backdrop that lets its quirky shape shine.
If your plant has softer, more delicate leaves (think ferns or baby’s tears), a textured ceramic pot like the Plant Mama Planter creates a fun play on contrasting textures, adding dimension to your space.
Pro Tip:
The more texture, the better! If you’re feeling adventurous, mix different ceramics in a cluster—some smooth, some textured—to create a dynamic corner full of character. It’s all about that “I effortlessly styled this and didn’t spend 30 minutes rearranging” vibe.
4. Hanging Out: Your Trailing Plant’s Elevated Look
Some plants just want to hang (literally). Trailing plants like String of Turtles or Ivy look incredible when cascading from a hanging planter. Our floating Plant Mama Pot is perfect for this. The clean lines of the ceramic give your plant room to drape elegantly without competing with its natural beauty. Plus, hanging planters are a great way to free up some floor space while still feeding your plant addiction (we don’t judge).
Pro Tip:
When hanging plants, make sure they get enough light—especially if they’re in a corner. And don’t forget to rotate them now and then so they don’t grow all wonky toward the sun like a houseplant trying to make a break for freedom.
5. Go Big or Go Home: Show-Stopping Pots for Statement Plants
If you’ve got a plant that’s basically become a roommate at this point (looking at you, Bird of Paradise), it deserves a show-stopping ceramic to match. Large statement plants need equally grand pots, so don’t skimp here. The larger planters are a standout option. Its oversized design and bold, natural finish make it the perfect match for your indoor tree or giant leafy friend. Plus, it’s so stylish it’ll practically be begging you to take more photos for the ‘gram.
Pro Tip:
Remember, big plants can be heavy, especially after watering. Place larger pots on a plant stand with wheels to make moving them around a breeze (your back will thank you later).
