Animals… Incredible livings that share the earth with us… I cherish them a lot because most of the inventions were made by having inspired by them. We get inspired by those livings not only scientifically but also aesthetically particularly in home decoration such as animal topiary, wood slice animal figures or animal painted rocks. In addition to these ideas, in this article, I am going to introduce animal planters.
Materials
Let me explain the materials of animal planters first. They are ceramic, polyresin, marble, granite, fiberglass, plastic and so on. It is important because its materials determine the conditions of its use for example when you buy a plastic one. It may be affordable, functional and light-weight whereas it could be a detriment to your health. There is plenty of researches say you could get cancer when you expose it in the long-term. If you buy the ceramic one, it will look more aesthetic, elegant and heavy but it would carry its risks, for example, it can lead to injuring someone or it can easily break apart with a mistake.
Plant Types
Another valuable point is its plant. Generally, I see the succulents are largely common in animal planters. There are a lot of strains of them. Here are cactus, bonsai, aloe vera, mother-in-law tongue, and the list goes on. These plants can stand natural as well as synthetic in your planters. For natural plants, they require a little bit of maintenance. They are durable and not require much water. For the reason why the succulents retain water their body but having said that I cannot say the same thing for non-succulents, for example, all kinds of sensitive flowers. The animal planter with a flower needs more attention for those who have got it.
Functions
Now here comes the good part. The place where you put these decoration miracles is in your home or perhaps in your office. When you work at the office and look at the tiny animal planter for a moment. I am sure it is going to inspire you while you are on the work table. At the same time, the animal planter can decorate your kitchen. There are even those with LED lights. It means both a planter and a lantern The eyes of the animal planter glitters all around your garden. Plus they are fascinating gifts for your beloved due to its cute look.
I am pretty sure you will heed my advice. Meanwhile, let’s take a look at the cat planter. When you look at that, the body is ceramic but its tail is a plant just like melting the animal and vegetable world into the same pot.
