11 Rattan Planters That Will Perfectly Complement All Of Your Houseplants

With boho and earthy styles taking over the design world, one material that has solidified its place in most homes is rattan. This fabric is often mistaken for other materials used for woven furniture, like seagrass or bamboo, but it's an entirely separate plant. According to Amanda Lindroth, rattan is a type of climbing palm tree native to tropical climates. As a bonus, it's also a lot more durable and sustainable than other natural materials of its caliber.

Rattan is most commonly woven into wicker furniture or other weaved patterns, but similar to bamboo, the woody material can either be separated into fine, malleable, and weavable strips, or used as sturdy logs for furniture construction. Furniture makers aren't the only ones who enjoy the many benefits this material has to offer, though. Many houseplant aficionados love using either rattan planters or stands to hold their houseplants. Like bamboo and macrame, the fabric's natural and light woody color goes wonderfully with lush green foliage. Most rattan planters are meant to hold or display a potted cultivar since the material itself isn't water resistant, but it undoubtedly adds a wonderful decorative touch to any room, boho or not.
