Hi Annie! We feel your pain when it comes to schlepping things up endless staircases. From getting it home to setting it up in the perfect corner, a heavy planter can definitely be a bit of a struggle.

Our Pallas fiberglass floor planters are the ideal options if you’re trying to figure out the next step for your snake plant. With its 11” interior width, this upgrade will do wonders for any thriving plant that’s ready to be repotted.

While these don’t have drainage holes, there are still easy ways to avoid watering woes. The easiest option? Lava rocks! A simple layer of these underneath your potting mix will ensure that those roots are never staying too wet.

Thanks to its simple structure and fun color choices (we’re swooning over the Amber still), pairing a plant with this high-style choice will look flawless. It’s light-weight aspects are just an added bonus!
