My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Best containers?

14 years ago

Please show me your favorite indoor containers. I have some indoor plants that I need to buy containers for that offer some type of dish at the bottom to catch exiting water/fertilizer that can then be emptied so the pot doesn't sit in water. Or should I use some kind of spacers to lift the pot from the saucer so I can just let the water evaporate? Searching for some ideas...there must be a line of planters/pots that have addressed this dilemma...right?
