Outdoor use preferred
-
Suitable for plants & vegetables
Deaices Plastic Vertical Planters is a self-watering, stackable planter that’s surprisingly sturdy for plastic. Its fade and frost resistant nature makes it suitable for all seasons.
And the self-watering system isn’t just a tray of water at the bottom of the planter. The smart system can be set to water daily or weekly whilst the rest of the water is stored. The drainage holes also prevent over-watering and minimise water usage.
And each tier has pre-drilled centre holes which can be used to link up a hydroponic system. So it is a really simple, multi-functional piece of kit.

Zipcode Design Wooden Wall Planter
The best looking vertical planter

Zipcode Design Wooden Wall Planter-
Rust and weather proof wooden material

75cm x 83cm x 15cm
-
13kg
-
Outdoor use only
-
Suitable for plants and vegetables
Wayfair’s Zipcode Wooden Wall Planter – like everything Wayfair related – is excellent quality. And aesthetically my personal favourite vertical planter.
The wood is both sustainably sourced and weather and rust resistant. Of which we’d expect nothing less. And each one has natural variation that comes in the form of grain and colour variations.
You could use this planter indoor if you’re a huge fan of the wooden look. But as it’s weather and rust resistant, it’s a balcony classic.

The wood has been treated against rot and whilst the screens in the picture aren’t included – mores the pity – the planters are lovely. And you can always add a screen another time.
