There is another accessory that is a great addition to your plant and the planter - The stand. Here are three reasons why you should buy a stand with the planter.

​

1. Access to sunlight - If you are potting a plant that has a higher sunlight requirement than its neighboring fellas, you may want to raise its height using a stand. Its a great way of arranging your plants .

​

2. Drainage - If you are using a pot / planter that has a drainage hole, you're good. The amount of drainage also depends on the material of the pot you are using. Ceramic and Terracota pots have a higher tendency to absorb water and maintain temperature and lets the soil dry faster. However plastic and metal do not exhibit this property, resulting in a longer time for the soil to dry, This can lead root rotting. A stand can enabled a better drainage in these pots, as placing them at a height enables gravitational drainage of water as well.

3. Ease of movement - A stand makes your planter portable, whether you want to move its place for a plant shower, a trim or just like that. A stand also enables better cleaning. May sound a little unscientific but check out with the ones, who love every corner tidy! :)
