About WikiPlanter

WikiPlanter is a reference for planters and the pots, beds and boxes plants grow in: glazed ceramic and clay pots for a windowsill, concrete urns for a front step, window boxes, hanging baskets, pots with a water reservoir and raised garden beds. Each entry carries the seller's own title words beside a store price stamped with the minute it was fetched.

Read from the listing, not from the pot

Material, the largest size in inches, the number of pots in a set, a drainage hole and a self-watering reservoir appear only when the title names them. Sellers print a height, a width or a diameter without saying which, so the size column copies the biggest figure in the title and turns feet into inches. Words such as frost-proof, fade-resistant or weatherproof belong to the maker, and nobody here has left a planter outside through a winter to see.

What counts as a planter here

A planter on this site holds soil and a plant: indoor and outdoor pots in any material, nursery pots, urns, window and railing boxes, hanging baskets, planter sets, raised garden beds, and planters sold with a stand or a trellis. Macrame or chain hangers sold without a pot are left out, and so are soil, seeds, live or artificial plants, saucers sold alone, plant stands without a pot and hydroponic kits.

No planter was filled for this site

Nobody who works on WikiPlanter has potted, watered or carried any of these planters, so nothing is ranked by how a glaze ages, how heavy a pot gets once it is full, or how well a plant grows in it. Questions about plants, soil or the load a balcony can bear belong to a gardener or the maker, not to a price list.

Prices carry their minute

Every price was read from the store's own listing, and the time of that reading sits next to it. Once a reading is too old to rely on, the price is withdrawn instead of being passed off as current, and the store's checkout sets the final amount.

How WikiPlanter is paid

WikiPlanter is a member of the Amazon Associates program. A purchase made after following one of our links pays the site a commission, and the buyer pays the same price as anyone else. The order of a page comes from the filters you pick and from price; a larger commission never lifts a planter higher.

Buying guides set stated materials, sizes and prices side by side. Articles in Learn explain planter terms from gardening references and from planter makers' own pages, and the front page says how many planters the site covers.
