Leaves
and flowers not only resonate well with humans; they also add life
giving oxygen into your immediate space. Modern day interior decorators
have been co-opting natural ’living’ colours into their interior
designs. This is one reason why homes and offices these days have come
to sport indoor flowering and non-flowering plants including Bonsai. The
other reason of course is because plants add harmony, beauty, colour
and a sense of well-being.
There was just one problem – the plants
either came in clay pots or thin plastic pots neither of which looked
elegant. Clearly, the pots needed to match the interior decor of the
home or office. For a while, interior designers experimented with
Chinese hand painted porcelain. Although these were elegant, they were
too delicate and too expensive. Thus was born the Fiberglass plant
planters bringing in elegance and functionality to the indoor garden.
The Fiberglass Plant Planters
Instead of making the pot out of clay,
the pot was made out of amalgam of fiberglass, plastic and polymer
resin. The advantage was that the finished product was lighter than
clay, stronger than clay, could be made into any shape, size and colour,
and best of all, it had a lustrous quality to it. The Fiberglass plant
planter all by itself became a thing of beauty and when you add a plant
into it, the indoor ambiance was greatly enhanced.
Does this mean that mud and a plant are
put directly into Fiberglass plant planters? Yes and no. There are two
types of Fiberglass plant planters – indoor Fiberglass plant planters
and outdoor Fiberglass plant planters.
Indoor Fiberglass plant planters
For the indoor Fiberglass plant planters,
the plant continues to be put in clay pots. The difference is, the clay
pot in turn, was inserted into a fiberglass plant planter. This enabled
the businesses to enter into contracts with plant hire companies. The
plant hire businesses would hire out flowering and non-flowering plants
and change them (usually) once a week. The fiberglass plant planters
remained the same, the indoor decor remained the same but the plants
themselves kept changing. Thus the Fiberglass plant planters brought in
elegance and functionality to the indoor garden. Enterprising Fiberglass planters
manufacturers even offer branding services. Thus it is not uncommon to
find large corporate sporting Fiberglass plant planters with their logo
proudly stencilled on it. The added advantage of branding was that it
prevented theft.
Some Fiberglass planter manufacturers
also offer to produce your requirement in any custom shape, size and
colour you desire (provided the minimum order quantity is met). Large
corporates loved the idea as it enabled them to extend their brand
colours to the Fiberglass plant planters as well.
The outdoor Fiberglass plant planters
These generally lack the lustre of the
indoor variety of Fiberglass plant planters and are also a bit cheaper.
Generally, outdoor Fiberglass plant planters are available in various
shapes including cubed, bullet, tall planters, ridged bowl planters,
hanging basket planters, wall mounted baskets, trough planters, pyramid
shaped planters, low bowl shaped planters, tapered round, Cuban curved,
ridged eye planters, etc.
So if you are planning an indoor or
outdoor garden or planning to upgrade your garden, think Fiberglass
plant planters – they add beauty and elegance to your plants and your
living space.
