We hope that we can ease the transition by making our desks feel as cozy as possible. That means decorating with our favorite accessories, framed photos, and above all, plants. Especially after the last year, many of us have come to appreciate plants in a new way – they bring so much to our home environments, and we have no idea how we ever lived without them.
The best new planters, plant stands and pots that indoor gardeners will love adding to their collection for their home or office.
Of course, if you’re looking for the perfect plant for your desk, it has to be small and easy to care for – think a succulent, or a cactus. And above all, it has to come in the right planter. After all, you only have so much room – you want every single piece of décor to help make the space your own.
Here are ten planters we recommend for easing the return to the office.

With a planter like this one on your desk, it will feel like summer every day, all year long. Made from three marbled stonewares, this stunning piece has a smooth and clear interior, and an exterior that retains the appearance of raw clay. With its single drainage hole and matching saucer, this would be a great match for anyone who’s hoping to actually grow something small from their desk. Every piece is made to order by the New York artist.

We are big fans of the rainbow exterior, which will really shine next to the green leaves of your succulent.
