   (Read 500+ times)
By Patricia Wainwright

Even the tiniest of patio gardens can benefit from carefully arranged plants and when space is an issue, plant stands will maximize your display and brighten your outlook. There are a myriad of styles to choose, from wooden to wrought iron plant stands and a lot of different uses; so, if you are looking for inspiration, then look no further. Consider where you want your plant stands, the material they are made from and their relative cost.

Indoors or out?

Some plants only cope with the outdoors in good weather and must be brought inside when it gets chilly. If you have these tender types, then they are easier to move back and forth if mounted on a stand. The stands themselves can be part of your furniture, adding a touch of elegance to your living room. Some indoor wrought iron plant stands are designed to look like tables with mosaic, wood or stone tops. The beauty of wrought iron is that it is strong enough to carry the weight of such ornamental materials and your plant stand will be stylish, sturdy and not easily knocked over by clumsy pets or children! Outdoors, your plant stands need to withstand rain wind and snow. All weather plant stands allow you to extend the life of your display, ivy looks amazing trailing down intricate metalwork and winter pansies show off their riotous colors far better if raised from the ground. Outdoor wrought iron plant stands are usually powder coated for additional weather proofing, long lasting and durable. Wrought iron means worked iron and this means designed not molded so it can be fashioned into intricate and beautiful shapes with extraordinary detailing.

Types of plant stand

There is a plant stand for every location in your garden or home and size of space you want to decorate. From cherry wood, holding one plant, costing about $10 to wood pedestals with oak veneer costing up to $130. There are self watering plastic stands holding up to 10 small plants from around $35, useful for “growing on” small cuttings. For durability, choose a wrought iron plant stand and you can pay as little as $15 for a leaf design three tier stand to a top of the range, marble or mosaic insert stand for larger plants at $300. Your wrought iron plant stands will last for years, has timeless elegance and is an investment that will add beauty to your home and garden.
