Best Pots & Planters for Aussie Conditions and Small Gardens

Small gardens, balconies, and courtyards are common in Melbourne—but the right pots and planters can turn them into lush, thriving spaces that complement our climate.

Key Points:

• Material matters — choose fiberclay or glazed ceramic to survive heat swings and frosts better than porous terracotta.

• Select the right size — deeper pots help retain moisture during dry spells, while lightweight options work if you move plants indoors over winter.

• Style for your space — belly pots and tall cylinders draw the eye-up; squat bowls and textured planters work great on tables or steps.

• Consider inserts — saucers or liners help with drainage and reduce mess indoors.

• Keep it local — pick warehousedirect planters in Melton to avoid shipping damage and get personal advice.
