A brief history of indoor plant pots

Ever wondered where the indoor plant craze first started? Plant pots can be sourced back to Ancient Egypt, and were used to transport plants to different areas to take advantage of the best growing conditions throughout the year. Early Roman, Greek, and Chinese societies used potted plants in courtyards and other outdoor settings, and pots were used to transport seedlings throughout the 17th century.

But the real indoor plant craze started in the 19th-century Victorian era, as tropical and sub-tropical plants were imported across the globe. Home innovations like furnaces made it easier than ever to grow plants indoors, with leafy ferns being the hottest choice for adding greenery to affluent homes.

Ferns became so in demand that there was a worldwide shortage of the plant, with wealthy Europeans financing fern-hunting expeditions across the globe. There was even a flourishing black market exclusively for selling ferns!

Since then, indoor plants have only grown in popularity. They can add the perfect finishing touch to your decor at an affordable price and are great for livening up your home or flat, especially with work from home setups becoming more common.

From beginners to green-thumbed experts, we have the right indoor plant for you

Ready to step into the world of plant parenthood but not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered. Our range of beginner and intermediate plants is perfect for getting your hands dirty for first-timers.

Succulents. Ah, the humble succulent, the most unkillable indoor plant there is! If you’re a total plant beginner, you really can’t go wrong with a succulent. We offer an ever-changing range of succulents in loads of different varieties and sizes! We recommend contacting our friendly team if you’re after a specific type of succulent.
Monstera. This iconic beauty never goes out of style thanks to its gorgeous large leaves, making it a stunning addition to your living room or home office. Our Monkey Mask Monstera is bushier than a traditional Monstera plant and requires only small amounts of water in a bright, well-lit area. If you're after an even smaller option, check out our Mini Monstera — its climbing leaves make it a great choice for a hanging pot or indoor trellis.
Devil’s Ivy. A great choice for hanging, the ominously named Devil’s Ivy (or Golden Pothos) got its namesake for being hard to kill. This sturdy plant will grow with minimal care and only requires watering when its soil feels dry. Plus, its trailing vines make it one of the most popular trellis plants around!
Snake Plants. Similar to a succulent, this tough, deep-green plant is great for beginner plant parents. With minimal care, your Sansevieria Trifasciata or Sansevieria Superba will sprout strong, upright leaves in dry conditions, so be sure to choose a pot with good drainage!
Zanzibar Gem. This exotic beauty is known for its stiff stems and fleshy roots which retain moisture, which means less watering for you! The Zanzibar Gem, often nicknamed as the ZZ plant, is virtually self-sufficient when placed in bright, indirect light — although low light conditions are also fine.
Peperomia. The Peperomia family of plants are pet friendly and, much like succulents, are great at storing water. That means you don’t have to stress out if you forget to water it regularly! The Peperomia Incana can handle cold conditions, making them perfect for frosty winters.

You might be thinking, how hard can it be to keep an indoor plant alive? Well, it’s easy when you shop with us! We stock a wide range of plant care products hand-picked by our team and made on the South Coast of NSW including slow-release fertilisers, leaf conditioners, deep-sea sugars and more!

FAQs about indoor ceramic pots for plants

What should I look for when choosing a pot for my new plant baby?

When it comes to choosing your new plant baby, finding the right pot is essential. After all, we all need a pot that will help our little ones thrive!

Leave room to grow. The first step is making sure your pot is the right size. We recommend choosing a pot with enough depth and height for your plant to continue growing. However, plants tend to grow slowly, so you only need a pot that’s larger by a few extra centimetres.
Choose the right drainage. Drainage holes are important to make sure potting soil doesn’t stay wet for too long after you’ve watered your plants; they also let oxygen reach your plant’s roots. Choose a pot with fewer or smaller drainage holes for plants that prefer moisture.
Make it stylish. Once you’ve found a pot that will satisfy your new plant babies, it’s time to make sure it matches your style. After all, the pot you choose is going to be in your home for years to come, so it's important to make sure you’re happy with it!
We recommend our terracotta pots or ceramic pots for plants that suit a neutral, modern aesthetic — or you can go bold with our glazed plant pots in blue-black pearl, white and black peacock or brown and red peacock.
Reduce, reuse, repot. Repotting your plant is an important step in keeping your babies healthy and happy. But don’t worry — you don’t need to buy a new pot every time… unless you want to!
Repotting simply refers to taking your plant out of its existing pot to replace its soil with a new potting mix — this helps give your plant more nutrients and prolongs its lifespan. Repotting is also done when a plant is looking a little too big for its current pot and needs to be moved to larger dwellings. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to propagate any new seedlings and offshoots that have sprouted from your plant baby, and clean your current pots!
Clean before reusing. One of the things plant parents often forget is cleaning their pots when reusing them for a new plant. For example, clay pots can often develop a white crust from mineral buildup that should be cleaned before potting a new plant — this helps prevent diseases in your plants. Scrub your pots with a stiff brush using water and vinegar or water and soap before adding new plants to them.

Should I choose terracotta or ceramic pots for my indoor plants?

Just like how every plant is different, each pot will have different benefits that will help your budding indoor beauties thrive; buying a pot is not a one size fits all solution!

Terracotta. The most recognisable and common material used for plant pots, terracotta pots allow more moisture and air to pass through them thanks to their porous material and large drainage hole at their base. This is a great way to control the wetness of your soil, and prevent your roots from sitting in water for too long; which is especially useful for plants that like to live on the dry side. Plants suited for terracotta pots include:

Succulents
Snake plants, like the Sansevieria Trifasciata and Sansevieria Superba
Pilea such as Chinese Money Plants
Peperomia Obstusifolia Speckled Marble, Incana, and Obtusifolia Jade

Ceramic. Most people opt for a ceramic pot for one simple reason: aesthetic. While terracotta pots tend to have more classic, monochromatic colours, indoor ceramic plant pots are more commonly customised with glazes that feature eye-catching colours and patterns.

Ceramic planters are the superior choice for plants that need a little more moisture. The extra coat of lacquer on glazed ceramic pots slows down your soil’s drying, with many ceramic pots being made without drainage holes for plants that like to sit in stagnant water — although, this is a surefire way to kill your new plant babies by overwatering. Even with one or more drainage holes, a ceramic plant pot will still hold more moisture than their terracotta counterpart, making them perfect for plants such as:

Nephrolepis, aka the Macho, Macho Boston Fern
The macho fern’s sister, Maiden Hair Fern
Spider Plants and Curly Spider Plants
Golden Pothos, known by her stage name, Devil’s Ivy

What are the best plants for hanging pots?

Hanging plants are one of the easiest ways to decorate your living space, but not all plants are suitable for hanging. Check out our rundown of the best indoor plants for your hanging pots.

Silver Falls. This soft trailing plant is best for indoor areas with plenty of sunlight and is a popular choice for placing near windows. Be sure to water it once its leaves become curly and dry, but take extra care not to overwater this cascading beauty. Silver Falls plants are known for being hardy and are a great choice for your first hanging plant.
Devil’s Ivy. Known endearingly as a “creeper,” this hearty Epipremnum Aureum is a bold hanging plant with trailing green and cream leaves. With a little bit of light and water, your Devil’s Ivy will thrive in any climate and is suitable for most spots in your home.
Clown’s Tears. For an unkillable hanging plant, look no further than the wonderfully named Clown’s Tears succulent. Its dusty-green colour and pea-shaped foliage give it a unique look perfect for your windows, as it requires bright, indirect light to thrive.
Teddy Junior Fern. Similar to the iconic Boston Fern, the Teddy Junior prefers warm areas with indirect sunlight. Its wild leaves are more compact than its older siblings while still making a stunning indoor feature, especially in bathrooms.
Coconut Kokedama. Handmade by our plant experts in Sydney, this striking coconut hanger is inspired by the Japanese art of Bonsai. Choose from five different established plants that are already growing in your Coconut Kokedama planter, including easy to manage favourites like Crocodile Ferns and Silver Sword Philodendrons.
