Planters, watering cans, and everything else you'll need to bring some greenery into your space.
Extra Small Globe Flower Pot by AYTM
Nordic and so very of the moment, this little ball of deep-colored joy is the perfect roost for a flowering plant with some white in its petals. Feeling ambitious? We suggest Crown of Thrones or a small orchid. $40 at Moda Operandi.
Svante Watering Can by Klong
You can do better by your thirsty babies than watering them with the closest coffee mug. With its sleek brass, handle-free look this number is not only what you need to keep your plants fed, but offers a bit of drama to your windowsill. $91 at Finnish Design Shop.
Vase by Pols Potten
Give your African milk tree or snake plant a fabulous first home with this gorgeous gold-flecked mixture of earthy and sky-blue glass from the beloved Dutch interior brand. $76 by Yoox.
Delicate Scissors by HAY
On top of watering, your plants will need some very careful pruning every now and then. Try to see things from their perspectives: would you want someone giving you a haircut with a pair of nasty ol’ kitchen shears? No. No you would not. $15 at END.
Vase by Firm Living
And to go with your gold-colored scissors by HAY, try pairing them up with this hexagonal brass vase. We’re thinking some Chinese evergreen or a nice paddle plant for this one. $63 at Yoox.
Trio Herb Pot by Sagaform
Yes, this porcelain rack of pots with a corner aperture for easy watering is intended for cultivating an herb garden for your inner cook. But don’t sleep on its ability to serve as stunning platform for your jasmine. $65 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Canvas Pot Cover (Set of 3) by Puebco
Why even bother repotting your aloe plant when you can just slip one of these Japanese-inspired, relaxed-looking covers over your old-fashioned terra cotta pot? Honestly, most things should be this easy. $28 at END.
Vanatta Glass Terrarium by Mercury Row
Of course, some succulents—and the gravel you place them in—are much happier under glass than cooped up in clay. This particular terrarium is just geometric enough to keep you out of Victorian parlor-room territory when you do decide to transfer them. $29 at Wayfair.
Magnetic Table Sweeping Set by Bürstenhaus Redecker
To keep all your all little plants alive, you’re going to have to fill all these little vases with dirt, which will leave a little bit of a mess. This tiny sweeper is just the thing to tackle such minuscule spills. $60 at Design Within Reach.
Deco Cactus by Bloomingvale
And just in case your green thumb turns out to be the kiss of death, make sure you snuggle some pure porcelain—and therefore un-killable vegetation—in with the real stuff. $28 at Yoox.
