I’m always surprised when I go to the nursery and see the huge selection of fiberglass planters that are available on the market today. Fiber glass planters seem to becoming very popular recently, and I can see why. A fiberglass planter can be made to look like it was made from any kind of material, but the fiber glass planter is generally more durable and lightweight.
They are also easy to maintain. They don’t rot or rust. And if you want to alter their appearance in some way (like decorative paint on them) if you feel creative, they are easy to paint. Since they are not as porous as clay, the plants inside don’t need to be watered as often, yet they can look like clay. I think that using fiber glass in this way is a stroke of genius! I wish I’d thought of it and patented the concept myself!
