In a recent post I shared a rattan basket I’m using to display spring plants in my kitchen. Several readers asked for similar planters at different price points, so I gathered a selection of options below. They were a bit harder to find than I expected, but I’ll update if more appear in the coming weeks.
Baskets and divided planters are a charming way to group small potted plants or spring flowers, and many of these styles work well year-round. Some of the items listed aren’t traditional planters, but they make great vessels for setting pots inside. I often place potted plants in a basket, remove them for watering, and set them back on saucers to protect the basket—this is exactly how I use the planter on my counter.
A few of the pieces are stoneware or ceramic, which add texture and visual interest. If a basket is shallower than the pots you want to use, it can still look attractive if the pots are decorative or if you tuck in moss around them for a finished look.
The trick to the full, lush appearance of my arrangement is using plants with thick foliage so the pots aren’t visible. I have four small plants in mine, each set on a saucer in case of any drainage.
Scroll down to see the options and images. Enjoy!

One budget-friendly option is FLODBJÖRK from Ikea, currently priced around $19.99. It’s made from durable plastic rattan and is handwoven, so each box has slight variations that give it character.
Another rattan trough-style planter is expected to restock seasonally. Watch for availability in spring and through my social channels or newsletter if you follow those for updates.
If you like the style of my specific planter, there’s a round version from the same brand that’s slightly smaller and more affordable. It’s a good option if you want a similar look but with less width.
I also received a hobnail ceramic planter as a gift, and it fits perfectly in the small window by our front door. A pretty planter in a favorite spot can be a small pleasure that brightens daily routines.
