Office Planters

(24 products)

Office planters here means floor-standing pieces for a workplace: lobbies, breakout areas, circulation routes and the edges of open plan floors. Pieces that divide space and take a specified plant.

These are the models we carry that suit a commercial interior. If you are looking for a small pot for a desk, this is not the right collection.

Office planters for floors, not desks

Almost everything sold as an office planter is a desk pot. This collection is the other kind: planters that stand on the floor, hold a specified plant and do a job in the space rather than decorate a surface. That distinction decides whether this page is useful to you.

What office planters have to survive

Being knocked. A planter in a circulation route gets caught by chairs, trolleys and bags. Fiberglass takes that better than ceramic or concrete, which chip or crack, and Jay Scotts offer touch-up paint kits for nicks and scratches.

Being moved. Offices get reconfigured. A planter that two people can reposition without a trolley survives churn; one that cannot gets left where it is and resented. Boxed weights are published per size, which is the figure facilities teams need for delivery.

Low light and long intervals. Most office planting is maintained on a schedule rather than watched daily, which usually means a nursery pot dropped into a decorative outer planter and swapped when it tires. That is a good reason to leave the planter undrilled and work with a liner.

Specifying rather than shopping

A commercial order is usually a schedule rather than a single purchase, and the two questions that decide it are repeatability and matching.

Repeatability. Several models run across a wide size range on one form, so a scheme can use the same shape at three scales and still read as one family. Lima runs 12 to 30 inches and Asheville 17 to 28.

Matching. Everything is finished to order, so a run ordered together is finished in the same batch. Beyond the 20 standard colors Jay Scotts will match a custom color, which is how a planter scheme gets tied to a brand palette or to joinery. Custom color orders are final sale.

Full dimensions, interior openings and boxed weights for every size are on the specifications page, which is usually what a facilities or design team wants before approving.

What we do not do

We do not sell desk pots. The smallest pieces here are still floor or sill scale. If you need something for a desktop, a specialist in small ceramics will serve you better.

We do not supply plants. We sell the vessel. Your interior landscaper or plant maintenance contractor chooses the planting, and they will want the interior opening figure from us to do it.

We do not do structural advice. On an upper floor or a podium deck, filled weight is a question for the building's engineer. We publish boxed weights so that conversation starts from a real number.

Drainage and finish

Planters are not drilled unless you ask, and for an interior you usually do not want them drilled — a liner or a nursery pot dropped inside is the normal arrangement. Jay Scotts add drainage free of charge at order time if you do want it, and a drilled planter is final sale.

Every piece is finished to order with an automotive-grade paint system in any of the 20 standard colors across matte, gloss, satin and metallic, or a custom match.

Frequently asked questions

What size planter suits an office?

For floor-standing pieces, 16 to 32 inches tall covers most lobby and breakout positions. Taller pieces to 42 inches work as dividers between desk banks or along a circulation route.

Do you sell small desk planters?

No. Everything here is floor or sill scale. If you need a pot for a desktop, a specialist in small ceramics is a better place to look.

Can planters be matched to our brand colors?

Yes. Beyond the twenty standard colors Jay Scotts will match a custom color, which is how a scheme gets tied to a brand palette or to joinery. Custom color orders are final sale.

Will a large order match across every piece?

Order the run together and it is finished in the same batch, which is the best way to keep a schedule consistent. Jay Scotts note that because the planters are finished by hand, weights and dimensions can vary slightly from piece to piece.

Should office planters have drainage holes?

Usually not. Indoors the normal arrangement is a nursery pot or liner dropped into an undrilled planter, so watering is contained. We do not drill unless you ask, and a drilled planter is final sale.

How heavy are they for facilities teams to move?

Boxed weights are published for every size on the specifications page. Fiberglass is far lighter than concrete or ceramic at the same size, which is what makes reconfiguration practical.

Are they durable in a busy workplace?

Fiberglass handles knocks from chairs, trolleys and bags better than ceramic or concrete, which chip or crack. Jay Scotts offer touch-up paint kits for nicks and scratches, and the planters carry a three year warranty.

Do you supply the plants?

No, we supply the planters. Your interior landscaper or maintenance contractor chooses the planting — they will want the interior opening figure from us to match a nursery pot to the planter.

Can we use these on an upper floor?

Filled weight over a structure is a question for the building's engineer, not for us. We publish boxed weights so that conversation can start from a real figure rather than a guess.

Do you quote for larger commercial orders?

Yes. For a schedule rather than a single purchase, get in touch and we will work through sizes, finishes and lead times with you. Everything is finished to order, so a run ordered together is produced together.
