Why you need a metal plant pot!

Whether you go for a subtle, understated design or a bold, glossy one in a lively colour, the possibilities are endless. Take a look and see how a stylish pot lifts your houseplant and your home to a higher level!

What are metal plant pots made of?

You might assume that all metal plant pots are simply made of metal, but there are real differences between the types of metal. Each one has its own properties, and those affect both the look of the pot and the way it behaves. Here are the most important materials.

Zinc

Zinc pots are mostly used outdoors, because wind and weather give them a tough, weathered look. The drawback of zinc is that it insulates poorly. In extreme cold or heat that can harm the plant's roots. Happily, there's an easy fix: line the inside of the pot with foil and put a layer of polystyrene on the bottom for extra insulation.

Steel

Steel pots are known for being robust and long-lasting. Outdoors they soon develop a rust-brown patina, which gives them an industrial look. Because they're heavy and solidly built, these pots are mainly used outside. Like zinc, steel insulates only to a limited degree. Here too we'd advise lining the inside with foil and placing polystyrene at the bottom to protect the roots from swings in temperature.

Aluminium

Aluminium is a versatile material that's easily cast into different shapes and colours. That makes it ideal for sleek, modern designs as well as classic ones. Aluminium pots can be light or heavy, depending on the version. They also work indoors and outdoors, which makes them a flexible choice for any home or garden design.

Which metal planter suits you best?

We've looked at which metal pots work best with five different interior styles. Taste is personal, of course, and there are no fixed rules or standards. Let your own feeling and creativity guide you when you choose the perfect pot. That way you create a unique atmosphere that suits your home and your green friend alike!

Metal pots for a Scandinavian interior

A Scandinavian interior is defined by light colours, clean lines and natural materials. It creates an oasis of calm and is ideal for making a room feel larger than it really is. In this style the motto is 'less is more'. Calm, simplicity, function and quality sit at the heart of the design.

At Green Bubble you never have to worry about the quality of your pots, because that side is always taken care of. Go for metal pots in neutral tones such as white, grey or beige, with a matt or powder-coated finish. Pots like these reinforce the minimalist feel and let your houseplants stand out gently, without disturbing the calm of the room.

Metal pots for a country interior

The country look is one of the most popular living styles in the Netherlands, all warmth, comfort and cosiness. Calm shades and natural materials play an important part. In an interior like this, everyone feels at home straight away. Think of a soft sofa piled with cushions, a sturdy wooden dining table, candles and a handsome dresser, all typical elements of the style.

At Green Bubble we have metal pots that suit a country interior perfectly. The Elisa Mystic Green adds exactly the right mood with its warm tones, while the Pot Ellen Vintage Green makes a stylish addition with its sturdy yet elegant look.

As for plants, the cheerful Chinese money plant is a perfect match for this style. Its round leaves bring a playful note to the room. It's easy to look after, too: water it once a week, but don't let it stand too wet. Give it a bright spot out of direct sunlight and it will look its very best!

Metal pots for an industrial interior

An industrial interior is all about open spaces, high ceilings and raw materials. The look is tough and unfinished, with elements such as bare brick walls and scaffolding pipes. Robust pieces take centre stage and strengthen the industrial feel.

A perfect addition to an interior like this is the Pot Christina Copper, a real eye-catcher that gives the room an instant edge. The Pot Elisa Mystic Earth also sits beautifully in this style, thanks to its earthy tones and strong presence.

Combine these pots with a spider plant, for instance, a popular air-purifying houseplant. It asks for very little: a splash of water each week, but take care it doesn't stand too wet. Put the spider plant in a bright spot out of direct sunlight and you have a plant that is lovely to look at and good for the air indoors!

Metal pots for a Bohemian interior

A Bohemian interior is playful and full of influences from all over the world. It's about mixing colours, patterns and materials. Accessories matter here: rugs, hanging chairs and personal objects that make the whole thing complete.

The Blooming Namaste vase fits this style beautifully, with its elegant height and warm character. Pair it with a Monstera Monkey Leaf for a gorgeous effect. The plant's unusual leaves tumble playfully over the rim of the vase, exactly the relaxed note a Boho room needs.

The Monstera Monkey Leaf is an easy plant as well. Keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy. Give it a bright spot and avoid direct sunlight, which would scorch the leaves. It does very well in a shadier corner too, so it suits just about any home!
