Wayzkiss Plant Stand Flower Pot Holder, Metal 3 Tier Corner Display Rack Wrought Iron

Wayzkiss' 3 Tier wrought iron metal corner display rack, a flower pot holder for a classic look.

Our score8.0/10Mid-range

Plant stands raise your pots off the ground and stack them on tiers or corners, displaying more greenery in the same small footprint. They are a favourite of balcony gardeners because a single tiered stand can hold several pots where the floor would otherwise fit one or two. Lifting plants also improves airflow, keeps roots off cold tiles, and puts trailing foliage at eye level. Look for a weather-resistant frame in powder-coated metal or treated wood, a stable base that will not tip in wind, and shelf sizes that match your pots. Corner and ladder designs make good use of awkward balcony edges, so measure your space and check the loaded weight before buying.
