The reality is that some plants don’t like to be transplanted, and some even thrive in the root-bound, well-draining conditions of a nursery pot far better than a ceramic or terra cotta pot. If you have recently purchased one such plant, but don’t like the simple black or green plastic of the nursery pot, try using a vintage wicker or wood basket to hide the pot, while still allowing for draining and airflow. If you use a plastic-lined basket, be sure to empty any standing water after watering your new botanical friend to avoid rot!
