I tend to buy more plants than I have planters. It’s an affliction that I’m working on but in the meantime, I will continue to Prime ship pots and planters to my apartment tout suite. Amazon is a gold mine for indoor and outdoor planters that will arrive at your doorstep before your plants have time to get used to their less-than-ideal housing. This very fact is what keeps me buying plants and rush ordering a bunch of pots and planters, and may very well convince you to do the same.
Indoor:
Lechuza Classico Color 28 Planter, $45 on Amazon: This sleek indoor planter has a similar mindset as the advanced Aerogarden, but without the large footprint and potential for a hefty electric bill. It combines the natural power of the sun with the easy-to-take-care-of nature of a hydroponic (that is, grow-in-water) planter that keeps your indoor plants healthy and hydrated.

Window Garden Aquaphoric Self Watering Planter, $50 on Amazon: If you’re sensing a theme here, you wouldn’t be wrong. Hydroponic planters for indoor greenery just make sense. This planter comes with its own special soil, Fiber Soil, that will take the dirty work out of making sure your roots can thrive and stretch their, uh, legs.
