Plant Baskets and Fabric Pots UK | Woven Planters | Rebel Plants

Plant baskets and fabric pots UK houseplant lovers actually use day to day, sit in a very different aesthetic register to ceramic and metal planters, and that is precisely their appeal. Lightweight, tactile, and effortlessly relaxed in feel, woven baskets and macrame plant holders bring a natural warmth to any indoor plant display that harder materials simply cannot replicate.

Which Plants Suit Woven Baskets and Fabric Pots?

Woven baskets and fabric-style plant holders work beautifully as decorative outer pots, housing your plant's nursery pot inside rather than planting directly into them. This approach works particularly well for trailing and hanging plants such as Pothos, Hoya, and String of Hearts, where the softness of a woven or macramé holder complements the natural flow of the foliage. For floor-standing plants, a woven basket in a natural or jungle green tone pairs naturally with larger Monstera, Ficus, and palms, adding texture without competing with the plant itself.

Rebel Plants is based in London and delivers UK-wide via tracked Royal Mail services, with every order carefully packaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Difference Between a Fabric Pot and a Regular Plant Pot?

Fabric pots and woven baskets are typically used as decorative outer pots rather than direct planting containers. They are lightweight, easy to move, and bring a natural, textural quality to a plant display that ceramic or plastic pots cannot match. We recommend keeping your plant in its nursery pot inside the basket and using a waterproof plant pot liner to protect surfaces from any moisture. For a practical inner pot to sit inside a woven or fabric outer, our nursery grow pots are available in multiple sizes.

Are Macrame Plant Hangers Suitable for Heavy Plants?

Macrame plant hangers are best suited to lighter plants in smaller nursery pots, typically up to 12-17cm. For heavier or larger plants, a floor-standing woven basket is a more stable and practical choice. When hanging a macrame pot holder, always fix it to a secure ceiling hook rated for the combined weight of the pot, compost, and plant, and check the fixings regularly, especially after watering, when the pot will be at its heaviest.

What Size Nursery Pot Do I Need?

Nursery grow pots are available in multiple sizes in this collection. As a general rule, your nursery pot should match the size of the pot your plant is currently growing in, or go up one size if you are repotting a plant that has outgrown its current pot. Nursery pots are measured by their external diameter, and the pot opening will be slightly smaller. Our sizing guide explains how to match your plant to the right pot size in more detail.
