Quick answer

Use the Mid Modern Medium Stand to elevate your indoor or outdoor planters for better drainage, airflow, and visual impact. Choose the right size for your pot and place it on a stable, level surface.

Why elevate your planters

Elevating planters off the ground helps prevent water damage to surfaces, improves air circulation around the pot, and makes plants easier to see and care for. The Mid Modern Medium Stand works for both indoor and outdoor use, so you can move plants between spaces without changing the stand.

Size matters

The Mid Modern Medium Stand comes in 9.5", 12.5", and 15.5" sizes. Choose a size slightly smaller than your planter's base so the pot sits securely without wobbling. A stand that is too large may look unbalanced, while one that is too small can tip over.

How to use the Mid Modern Medium Stand

Choose the right size: Measure the base diameter of your planter. Select a stand size that is slightly smaller than the planter base so the pot sits securely. Common mistake: using a stand that is too large, which can make the pot unstable. Check the base diameter before buying.
Place on a level surface: Set the stand on a flat, stable surface both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor use, ensure the ground is even to prevent wobbling. Common mistake: placing the stand on uneven ground, which can cause the pot to tilt and spill. Use a level tool if needed.
Position the planter: Center the planter on the stand. For tall or top-heavy plants, add a non-slip pad between the stand and pot for extra grip. Common mistake: leaving the pot off-center, which increases tipping risk. Test stability by gently pushing the pot.
Adjust for indoor vs. outdoor use: Indoors, place the stand near a light source or as a decorative accent. Outdoors, avoid areas with strong wind that could knock over the pot. Common mistake: forgetting that wind affects elevated pots more than ground-level ones. Move the stand to a sheltered spot on windy days.
