Plant Containers Head Into Quirky Territory

You may discover many variations of head planters, and all types of fun creature – and – automobile-shaped vessels for flowers and plants, too. Here is a peek in the more quirky side of houseplants.

Porcelain baby doll head planter – $55
There is something a bit creepy but completely cool about these dollface head planters. I love the option in plants, too.
My mother has always had a green thumb, so last Christmas I treated her to a special planter for her kitchen. The woman head sculpture has space up top for a couple little succulents. The green sprouts appear to be a funky headpiece.
TIP: For a chic alternative to a plastic spray bottle, try a vintage perfume bottle to spritz your crops with water. My mother regularly spritzes that the succulents in her lady head — it’s an easy way to wash the crops without over-watering their little root system.
Add a little whimsy to your backyard garden with a pair of head planters that are mounted. Succulents, cacti and air plants are great options for thanks for their headdress-like shapes and very low water needs.

In my home office, I’ve a scupltural clay head planter (I call Mr. Brain), that I graduated from the local shop Graceful Gardens. I love how the implanted cactus interior looks so much like a brain.
