Best of 2011: 10 Indoor planters

Indoor plants are the best option for those who wish to have a garden, but can’t do so owing to the space problem. Besides creating greenery around you and providing a healthy home environment, the indoor plants add to your home decor. An indoor plant distinguishes itself from a home’s luculent interiors and therefore, choosing the right indoor planter becomes essential. Pick the one that not only matches the ambience of your house, but also facilitates the health of the plant. You can also design your own planter from the various discarded things available at your house, such as old books and old furniture. Check out the some of the best indoor planter ideas below.

1. Planter ideas made of old books:

Old Books

The old books, which are of no further use and are often given away for recycling, can be creatively reused as indoor planters. An Italian design company, Gartenkultur, has given this unique idea of reusing discarded books as decorative pots for house plants. The idea is very simple and equally cheap. You just need to drill a hole in a thick book or a stack of slim books and cover it with some isolation material to prevent it from getting wet. After that, cover the hole with soil and your planter is ready to hold plants. The old books planter is suitable for small flora like bonsai that would create a vivid atmosphere in your house.
