Plant stands can be multi-tiered, standalone, hanging, tabletop, or corner, and come in all different shapes, all to fit your style and space. “When selecting the suitable plant stand, you should consider the number of plants it can take, your desired vision or inspiration of the final composition, practicality, and the height relative to the sun's position,” says Melvin Cubian, the resident botanist at Plantin. You’ll also want to ensure the shelves comfortably hold your pot(s) weight and size.

You don’t want to monopolize a room with a giant plant stand (unless you’re going for a jungle look), and depending on how many plants you have, you may need a larger stand or multiple small ones. The biggest constraint in picking your plant stand is the size of your space. Although depending on whether you’re putting the plant stand indoors or outdoors, some materials may be better than others. The material you choose depends on your personal preference, style, and existing home decor.

Plant stands come in various materials, including wood, metal, steel, bamboo, and more.
