House plants spruce up a living space as well as purify the air in our dwellings—what’s not to love? However, finding the perfect indoor plant stand can be difficult. New foliage may fit in small containers at first, but in time you’ll need a larger indoor plant pot—and a bigger stand to match—to suit your growing greenery (especially if you receive plant subscription boxes).

No matter if you own a sprouting monstera plant, spider plant, jade plant or any other house plant, finding the ideal indoor plant stand is not always an easy task. (Maybe you’ve even tried a DIY plant stand and had less-than-spectacular results.) That’s why we’ve done the hard work for you, unearthing 11 beautiful, functional options that support and flaunt your budding plant and herb babies.

FAQ

What else can you put on a plant stand?

Plant stands can hold much more than plants—consider adding books, candles, decor or even smart home systems. Many plant stands share materials and heights with bedside tables, so they can double as extra surfaces when needed.

Where should a plant stand be placed?

Place plant stands near a window, preferably in a corner. This keeps plants out of foot traffic while ensuring they receive sunlight to grow healthily.

What are the benefits of a plant stand?

Plant stands proudly showcase greenery, maximize growing space and keep plants safe from foot traffic and pets. These versatile stands can also function as accent tables or clever spots to hide knickknacks and smart home gadgets.
