Dabito found this huge jade sitting in a dimly lit corner of a thrift store. Being the first plant he'd ever come across during his thrifting adventures, he knew he had to take it home. After a backbreaking haul to his loft, he eventually planted it in a DIY drip planter and says, "It brings lotsa luck."
The planter is another opportunity for design. A paint-dipped pot makes a statement next to the Eames rocker. Any other pot would have just disappeared. Access to well-designed planters is considerably easier now than it was years ago. There are probably several garden stores or other design resources in your city that have a broad selection of interesting planters to add to your overall design. Consider specifying colored planters to work with your color story, or metal planters for a more industrial feel. Also, with the improvement in resin technologies, there are now plenty of planters that look like stone at tenth of the weight.

Fun with planters. Use concrete cylinder tubes. Cut in different variations. Line with moisture barrier poly. Spray exterior. Or go to ceiling with side cut outs, for draping plants; i.e. ivy. & Use stone spray.
