Stand-ups

Usually, these are single structures that are placed separately and have rather impressive dimensions. Floor stands for indoor flowers are used for one or two large specimens in massive pots, for example, palm trees, ficus or indoor hibiscus roses.

If the flower itself is tall, the stand should be such that it is comfortable.

Stands with wheels

This is an interesting idea for those who have to move flowers from one place to another for various reasons. For example, if during the season you send them to the fresh air on the veranda, and so that they do not freeze in the last or first cold nights, bring them back into the house.

The easiest option is a regular board on wheels, it is easy to roll it to another place during cleaning or just to free up space.

Decoration stands

Decorative structures are designed to perform two tasks at once: purely practical in terms of plant placement and aesthetic in decorating the interior.

DIY floor flower shelves can have almost any shape, dictated by your imagination.

Corner structures

Usually a corner in a room is a place that is little used for any purpose. That is why it is quite possible to put a flower stand in the corner. The geometry of the shelves is very diverse - from a rectangle or an oval to a complex wave.

The only drawback of this placement is that there is usually little natural light in the corner, so an extra lamp should be considered.

Hanging coasters

For rooms filled with furniture and small in size, the most successful choice is flower stands that are suspended from the ceiling or wall.

The flower stands must be firmly attached to the wall. Plants can also be placed in hanging pots with a solid bottom, which will prevent water from flowing during watering.

How to make a flower stand from various materials

What are the options for using the materials? The simplest and cheapest is plastic. Plastic coasters are presented on store shelves in a large assortment. It is not difficult to match any color and shape.

Plastic structures are floor-standing and suspended. But they have one significant drawback - they do not support a lot of weight and are suitable only for medium-sized pots.

On sale you can also find models of shelves for flowers from MDF or chipboard.
