One of the most affordable ways to house your plants indoors is using planter baskets. Truth be known, all baskets can be turned into a planter basket. You just have to find the right size to accommodate the size of your pot.

I’ve used pom pom baskets to house my plants indoors and they have been a stylish way to cover over the black pot. It’s also saved having to transfer the plant into another pot.
Tips For Using Planter Baskets Indoors
Having used two baskets to decorate my plants, there are some things to consider.
1. Make sure your basket has a wide enough opening to fit your pot. Some baskets taper up and this can make it hard to get a larger plant pot into the basket.
2. Always put a pot saucer in the basket first and then place your plant pot in. The saucer will catch the water when you water your plant, preventing the basket to go mouldy underneath due to moisture.
3. Don’t over water your plant and cause the saucer to overflow as your basket will go mouldy (learned this from past experience)
4. If you are worried about mould, choose plastic plants instead.
5. There are so many varieties and styles of baskets to choose from. Seagrass and wicker are the main options. Consider a neutral basket to blend in with the interior of your home.
Here are some baskets I found online and what they look like when housing a plant.
