No matter how beautiful you think you’ve made your garden, it’s only a matter of time before your current garden arrangement will look stale or boring. It’s in our nature to look for something different, and even in our gardens, moving around our plants by just a little can make a huge difference. Even though potted plants are far easier to move than plants rooted in the ground, having the best rolling planters will make rearranging your plants an even easier task.
Rolling planters are great for a few reasons. They not only make moving your plants easier to do, but they also help with your gardening activities. This list will showcase some of the more functional rolling planters that we’ve found, as well as a few other beautiful options for hobbyist gardeners.
Ever heard of a potted plant that waters itself? This round planter is a modern innovation and a huge improvement from the classic plant pot. It has space beneath the actual pot that holds enough water to keep the plant watered for up to two weeks. The soil doesn’t get overwatered, however, as it uses a clever way of keeping the soil just hydrated enough using hollow legs that connect both chambers of the planter.
Besides the incredibly handy water reservoir, the planter is easy to move with a set of wheels. The wheels are attachable, meaning that while you don’t need to put them in place, they can be installed if you want to move your plant around. It can be a little tricky to install the wheels once you’ve placed the plant in the pot, but other than that, it’s a great planter for single plants.
If you liked using LEGOs as a kid, then you may find this planter to be oddly satisfying to use. It uses a stackable design of uniquely shaped pots. The pots are connected with three spaces for different plants. You can stack up to six of these pot formations, giving you a total of 18 pots to place plants in. All of the pots can be connected to a caddy at the bottom which also serves as a tray for catching any excess water.
What really makes this planter set interesting is that you only need to water one pot for all the plants to be watered. The water flows from the top level all the way to the bottom, so you don’t have to individually water all of the pots every single time. And, as mentioned earlier, the caddy at the bottom serves as a planter saucer and catches any excess water remaining. Overall, it’s an amazing concept, and if you have multiple of these planters, you can mix and match plants to your heart’s content for all sorts of wonderful combinations.
Planter boxes are a handy and mobile alternative to ground planting. It has a lot of ground planting benefits, such as being able to plant on a large patch of soil rather than a small pot. However, it comes with an added layer of mobility, as you’re able to move the planter around wherever you’d like. This particular planter has two wheels to let you carry it around if you want to move it to a different part of your house.
Below the planter box is an area for storing all your gardening tools and equipment. You may even place a couple of potted plants there, too, if you wish. The entire planter box can be set up in a matter of minutes, and even those with no experience will find it easy to do. With a black metallic finish, this planter box is great for long-term use and will be a welcome addition to any home.
This is another planter box, but instead of being made out of metal, it’s made out of wood instead. The wooden frame gives it a more cozy appearance, and despite its appearance, it’s actually quite sturdy. It’s worth noting that unlike the previous planter box with two wheels, these have four wheels that can be turned around, making it far easier to move around than the former.
The space below the garden bed is enough for a variety of tools, equipment, and other potted plants. If you’re worried about oversaturation in the garden bed, don’t be, because there are four drainage holes below the bed to get rid of excess water in the soil. Overall, the design is great because it’s made out of wood, so it’s more likely to take some damage than the previous metallic planter box.
This beautiful wheeled planter is a great example of a natural method of irrigation. This cascading planter holds up to five rows of plants. You can have one type of plant per row or switch it up by having all sorts of plants all over the place; the choice is yours. What really makes this planter special, however, is that the boxes have drilled holes in the bottom that slowly drain out water from the soil and pour it into the box below.
With the layer above feeding water to the layer below, all you need to do is water the top level of the planter and watch the magic unfold. Eventually, all the plants will be watered, making it very easy to keep all the plants in this rolling planter healthy and happy. The five drilled holes also ensure that the water is evenly distributed as it cascades down the levels.
Rolling planters make gardening easier and more convenient. Have a look at this quick guide to learn all about them.
A rolling planter is a special type of gardening planter with wheels attached to its base. The wheels allow the gardener to move the planter around easily without having to carry the whole planter.
Rolling planters give gardeners the opportunity to arrange their plants and flowers whenever they wish. No longer are they limited to their stamina, and they don’t have to lift every single pot that they want to move around, as wheels make the process much quicker and easier.
If you have a hose that’s too short to reach your plants, then it may be easier to take the plants to the hose instead. Rolling planters can bring your plants close to the hose so that they get their daily share of water.
Keep these things in mind when choosing a rolling planter.
Rolling planters vary in size, with some being able to hold large plants and others with only a space small enough to hold tiny shrubs. You can take advantage of the convenience of wheels and get large plants that you normally wouldn’t be able to carry around.
The design of the rolling planter can affect the overall look of your garden. From the color of the planter to the shapes and its frame, every visual element can affect the feel of your garden. This is a subjective matter, so take your time to consider what you like the most.
