Plant pots and planters frame your greenery and tie a display together, and this collection features handwoven cotton and seagrass designs. Natural basket-style planters bring texture and a relaxed, organic look to houseplants, herbs and foliage indoors or in sheltered outdoor spots.
Woven from cotton rope or seagrass, each planter works as a decorative cover for a standard nursery pot, letting you refresh a display without repotting. The soft, tactile finish suits living rooms, hallways, conservatories and covered patios.
Available in a range of sizes, these baskets group well together for a layered arrangement or stand alone around a favourite specimen plant, adding warmth and natural character to a room or seating area.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.
Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.
Handwoven cotton and seagrass planters are generally designed as decorative outer covers rather than pots with drainage. The usual approach is to keep your plant in its plastic nursery pot inside the woven basket, so excess water drains into the liner or a saucer. Empty any standing water regularly to protect the natural fibres and prevent the roots sitting wet.
These planters are described as indoor-outdoor, so they can sit on a sheltered patio, porch or balcony during dry spells. Natural fibres are not fully weatherproof, however, so keep them out of persistent rain and bring them inside over winter. For permanently exposed spots, treat them as fair-weather decoration and move them under cover when heavy or prolonged wet weather arrives.
Match the planter to your plant's nursery pot so it slips inside snugly without forcing. Larger floor baskets suit statement plants such as fiddle-leaf figs or palms, while smaller ones hold herbs, ferns or trailing foliage on shelves and tables. Leaving a little room around the inner pot makes watering and occasional repotting easier and keeps the woven sides looking neat.
Dust or brush them regularly and wipe gently with a barely damp cloth if marked, avoiding soaking, which can weaken or stain the fibres. Let them dry fully before returning a plant. Keeping a waterproof liner or the plastic pot inside prevents moisture damage. Stored dry and out of constant sun, cotton and seagrass planters keep their texture and colour well.
Because these are woven natural fibres, water can seep through if it pools inside, so always use a waterproof liner or keep the plant in its own pot with a saucer. This catches drainage and protects floors, shelves and furniture underneath. Check the liner after watering and tip away any excess so the base of the planter never sits in water.
