Metal plant pots are receptacles intended to hold substrate and plants that has bottom drainage holes. Brushed metal plant pots effortlessly elevate the aesthetics of any space, indoors and out, with bang-on-trend metal planters. Typically made from either steel or aluminum, colorful metal plant pots are available in various shapes, designs, and hues. These containers combine form and function, making them a brilliant choice for commercial settings like restaurants, hotels, and office buildings. Metal planters provide too much damage to the health of plants both indoors and outdoors. Excessive heat outside can scorch and harm plants and soil. Inside, the metal may rust and oxidize the plants' undersides, causing the plants to rust as well.

Advantages of metal plant pots

Refusing to bow in scorching heat, corrode under torrential rains, or expand and crack when temperatures drop, outdoor metal plant pots are designed for ultimate durability. Both aluminum and corten steel metal plant pots are incredibly hard-wearing, happily withstanding the harshest weather conditions without worry. However, when looking for the lightest and most portable option, even in larger sizes, opt for aluminum planters. Not just for flowers and foliage, this material is commonly used in shipbuilding and aircraft fabrication as it's super strong and a third of the weight of steel. Having the freedom to move the pots and planters without specialist equipment enables easy swapping and changing layouts whenever trends change - offering many years of enduring style.

Additionally, with a little bit of extra care and attention, indoor metal plant pots can last a long, long time. Scrub any marks and stains with a soft, bristled brush dipped in mild dish soap diluted in hot water, then rinse and towel dry. Avoid using steel wool pads and acidic cleaning products as they can leave deep scratches on the surface of your planters, which will let in moisture and cause irreparable damage.

Tips on using metal plant pots

Utilize fiber or plastic containers and place them inside of metal containers to use them as cachepots. Adding holes to metal plant pots aids in drainage. Make holes in the bottom of the pot with an awl or big nail, or use a can opener. More holes are preferable. In the sun, black metal plant pots can grow quite hot, which can quickly dry out the soil and burn your plants. To lessen heat and glare, only use metal containers in shaded areas. To protect the roots and soil from the hot metal in colder climates, place bubble wrap inside your metal containers. Aluminum is very malleable, making aluminum metal plant pots easy to customize and mold. Plus, it can be powder-coated in a wide rainbow of colors. This process is environmentally friendly, containing no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and helps ensure durability. Choosing metal planters with a powder coating means you can trust they'll stand up against bleaching UV rays, seesawing temperature changes, and other extreme elements.
