What is a plant stand?

A plant stand is a holder for houseplants and outdoor plants that elevates the pot off the ground. Plant stands come in a variety of shapes and sizes, all the way from a simple column that holds one pot to a tiered structure that holds a handful of thriving plants. The purpose of a plant stand may seem straightforward, but its uses are surprisingly varied: some pull double-duty as furniture inside the home, others act as artwork, and some provide more room for further greenery by making it so your plants can sit on an elevated surface. The result? An indoor or outdoor addition to your home that is as decorative as it is functional.

Types of plant stands

Plant stands come in a variety of styles, and the right option for you depends on your aesthetic and needs. On Etsy, you’ll find these common types of plant stands: Metal plant stands : Sturdy, chic, and long-lasting, metal plant stands are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether it be copper, brass, iron, or anything in between, these stands are often multi-level and can be crafted into a variety of customizable shapes to best suit your style. Modern plant stands : Modern plant stands are characterized by their funky styles (puzzle-shaped shelves, anyone?) and often minimalist appearance. Browse to your heart’s delight and enjoy the many showcases of abstract creativity that sellers on Etsy have to offer. Mid-century modern plant stands : Mid-century plant stands offer a splash of vintage class to make your plants pop. With angular legs, retro pops of color that harken back to the ‘60s, and materials like wood and enamel, mid-century modern and vintage plant stands add a unique touch to your green decor. Outdoor plant stands : Outdoor plant stands are carefully created to be able to face all weather conditions without losing their decorative edge. Enjoy a rainbow of concrete, wood, resin, and even ceramic plant stands to add a special flair to your garden. Indoor plant stands : Don’t let outdoor plants hog all the fun. With indoor plant stands—oftentimes smaller and more space-conscious than their outdoor counterparts—you’ll find that your houseplants have never looked more at home.

Do plant stands have benefits other than being decorative? Absolutely. Plant stands don’t just showcase your plants, they also work to maximize your growing space, can elevate plants to make sunlight more accessible, lift them up out of the reach of curious pets and children, and even help make your plants easier to reach for watering.
