Planters come in all shapes and sizes, but oval planters stand out because of their versatility. You can do so many great things with an oval planter or two! There are many beautiful designs along with various styles and sizes to choose from, so finding something to suit your needs won’t be hard.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes these planters so special along with some of the designs and styles available.
What Makes Oval Planters So Special?
With so many different shapes and designs available, what makes oval planters stand out? This particular design provides both stability and space for your plants. They fit perfectly on many windowsills, ledges, and other small areas due to the long slender design.
However, they’re wider than rectangle planters so your plants have more room to grow and thrive. They also come in many stylish designs that will brighten up your home or garden.
Galvanized oval planters
Galvanized oval planters are both durable and decorative and you can use them either indoors or out. This particular type of material draws heat when placed in direct sunlight so they’re perfect for plants that flourish in the heat.
However, they work just as well for other types of plants when placed in partially shaded areas. Galvanized containers also hold in the cold, so they make excellent mini coolers. Here are a few of your options.
