The Best Wall Planters to Liven Up Any Space

Best Overall

Mkono Ceramic Hanging Planter

4.7

View On Amazon

If you have a few smaller plants (like a variety of succulents or some air plants) that would look great together, this three-tiered wall planter is perfect for your space. Each planter is 6.5 x 3.25 x 2.5 inches, making it just small enough to hang over a desk or in an entryway, but still big enough to house a few plants at once.

Each pot has a drainage hole, so you can make sure your plants won't get root rot from staying too damp. Unfortunately, the pots don't easily come off of the rope that they hang from, so you'll need to take the entire planter down to water, then wait for it to stop dripping before you put it back into place.

Just be aware that these planters are not a good fit for plants that are on the larger side or need a lot of room for their roots to grow.

View On Amazon View On Wayfair View On Walmart

When in doubt, go with what always works: sleek ceramic, geometric shapes, and brass details. Stylish enough to proudly display your favorite plantings, but subdued enough to go with you from one design trend to the next, these wall planters look great and work well no matter what. Available in multiple sizes, this small set works well on its own in tighter spaces or pairs perfectly with its big ceramic sibling on more grand wallscapes. 

If big potted plants aren’t your jam, these are great vessels for succulents, air plants, and the ever-propagated pothos. If you’re looking to add interest to your gallery wall, these nestle nicely in among your favorite framed art and photos. All in all, whether you’re a beginner looking to add a couple of small plants or a seasoned green thumb looking for a way to squeeze in more greenery, these simple hanging planters from Umbra will not disappoint.

Best for the Kitchen

August Grove Cardona 9-Piece Pot Metal Wall Planter

View On Wayfair

While herb gardens are a great way to get fresh herbs into your cooking, many kitchens don't have counter space for more than one or two plant pots, if any. This wall planter fits in just about any size kitchen—it's only 23.5 x 17.5 inches and comes about 6 inches out from the wall, including the tilted metal pots. Its farmhouse-inspired design is definitely on the more rustic side, but we think it will look great filled with leafy plants.

You'll need to keep your herb plants on the smaller side since each pot only measures about 4.5 inches tall. The pots also have no drainage holes, so you'll need to keep plastic liners in them and be careful to drain your plants well before they go back on the wall.

Best for Seedlings

Worth Garden 3-Pockets White Self-Watering Drip System Wall Planter

View On Amazon View On Home Depot

If you have a large outdoor garden or like to propagate plants from cuttings, you may need space to keep your smaller plants safe while they grow. This wall planter is composed of a plethora of pockets ready for planting. Designed to make the most of your space—inside or out, thanks to the durable polypropylene material—each planter kit comes with room to fit up to 36 plants at once, allowing to create a kind of vertical garden.

If keeping all those pots watered sounds a bit too daunting, don’t worry—that’s covered. The well-designed automatic drip system will make it so everything gets what it needs. Water drips on the topmost row and slowly travels down to each succeeding row, ensuring all plants get all the water they want, but never more than they need.

Best for Air Plants

Orimina Hanging Glass Wall Planters

View On Amazon

If you aren't interested in messing around with repotting, worrying about root rot, or getting on a fertilizer schedule, you might want to fill your wall space with air plants, which can just be misted with a sprayer from time to time. These lightweight glass orbs are perfect to showcase air plants anywhere indoors and offers another vehicle to cleverly hang greenery in your home. If air plants aren’t your thing, that’s OK too, as these globes are perfect for propagating or presenting hydrophytes in something other than an old Mason jar.

This set comes with six bulbs, which is enough to create an interesting wall display or to sprinkle throughout your home. We love that the hook and nail are tucked neatly behind the plant, giving the illusion that the globes are floating on the walls.

Best Splurge

Gromeo Unplanted Living Wall Panel

View On Habitathorticulture.com

We can’t quite get enough of this statement-making piece from Gromeo. Crafted with a light birch-finished plywood frame and white polyethylene edging, the simple look of this standalone garden certainly makes a statement. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking to create a stunning living wall.

If you’re nervous about the anything-but-green thumb you were born with, it has you covered, too. By using an ingenious water reservoir design, you'll only have to water your plants every couple of weeks, depending on your home's humidity levels and the plants you display.

You can get the Unplanted version and fill in the eight pockets with plants of your own choosing, or you can opt for one of the company's pre-planted options, which are marked for high, medium, or low light conditions.

Best for Outdoors

CB2 Concrete Hanging Planter

View On CB2

This concrete wall planter is rustic and a little rough around the edges, which will fit in with just about any outside patio décor or look great out on a deck in your backyard. This planter is sturdy while remaining lightweight, thanks to its concrete and fiberglass makeup. Perfect for those plants that sway in the wind, this planter is priced just right, so you can stock up on a few and really make a statement. 

You'll want to make sure this planter gets enough sunlight since the lack of drainage holes puts plants at risk for overwatering unless they're given plenty of time and sun to dry out between waterings. 

Best Macramé

Mkono Macrame Plant Hangers Set of 4

View On Amazon

No boho-style home design is really complete without its true hallmark—macramé. This set of four planters allows for your hanging plants to drape naturally and allows you to choose whatever pots best fit your plants. Available in classic ivory cotton or brown cotton and jute, either set is going to add depth and texture to your home. 

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, these planters are best suited for areas that aren't particularly windy, since they will sway, which can potentially damage both the pots and your walls.
