2. Choosing the Shelf

Depending on whether or not you are planning to plant an actual plant in the planter, You need to choose a safe and a convenient shelf.

You don't want dripping water on an electric appliance under the shelf or need to use a ladder to climb up to water your plant. Also you need to check the sunlight suitable for the plant you want to place in the planter.

Choose a shelf where you can water the plants easily. If the shelf is difficult to reach, Cocopeat is recommended instead of soil as it requires less frequent watering. Keep a small tray under the planter in case the water drips too much.

 If your shelf is near a window or natural light source, concrete planters can enhance the interplay between light and shadow. The texture of the concrete and the shape of the planters can create interesting shadows, adding another layer of visual appeal. You can also incorporate small LED lights or fairy lights on the shelf for a cozy and warm effect, highlighting the plants and planters.

 

3. Choosing the Right Plant

The choice of plants for your concrete planters is just as important as the planters themselves. Some plants complement the miniature feel of our planters, while others can dominate them. Here are a few suggestions:

 Succulents and Cacti: These low-maintenance plants work well with concrete planters and fit into modern or minimalist designs. Plus, their compact size makes them ideal for shelves.

 Trailing Plants: Plants like pothos, ivy, or string of pearls add movement and soften the hard edges of the concrete. Their cascading leaves bring life and a sense of nature to the shelf.

 Miniaturized Plants:  Kamini Bonsai Plants, Jade plant, aralia plant, asparagus fern plants are a few suggestions that give the miniature look to the planters

4. Caring for your shelf and planter

Maintenance of a space is as important as setting it up. Here are a few tips to do that correctly:

• Use cocopeat instead of soil and water less to avoid spillage of water on the shelf.
• Keep a small paper piece or a napkin under the drainage hole of the planter for extra precaution.
• In case of soil or dust on the planter, DO NOT clean when its wet. Wait for it to dry completely and brush the dust off with a soft brush.
• Avoid contact or friction of the planter with a rough surface or a sharp and pointed object for durability of the paint. 

 

 5. Use planters to Divide and Define

If you’re using your shelf to display a variety of objects, use concrete planters as dividers between different sections. For example, place a planter between a stack of books and a photo frame to create clear divisions while maintaining a cohesive look.
