The 10 Best Pots for Aloe Plants

1. Yishang Terra Cotta Pots with Saucer – Best Overall

When growing aloe plants, you can’t go wrong with standard terracotta pots that come with matching saucers. As such, the best overall pot for aloe plants is the Yishang Terra Cotta Pots with Saucer. This product is affordable, classic, and attractive.

It comes with six large terracotta clay pots. Each one of these pots is 5.5 inches, which is a great size for many aloe plants. The price is really affordable given that you get six, high-quality clay terracotta pots. As to be expected from any terracotta pot, these pots come with drainage and a matching saucer.

2. WHING Ceramic Engraved Mini Planter Pot – Best Value

The best pot for aloe plants for the money is the WHING You Had Me at Aloe White Ceramic Engraved Mini Succulent Planter Pot. This product is perfect if you have a small aloe plant and are on an extreme budget. It is by far the most affordable option on this list.

Despite being heavily affordable, this pot is super cute. It says, “You Had Me at Aloe” on the front, and it is made from ceramic, one of the best materials for growing aloe. It also comes with a bamboo tray and hole to ensure your aloe gets adequate drainage.

The only downside of this pot is that it is incredibly small. Although it is big enough for the smallest of aloe plants, your plant will likely outgrow this pot fast.

3. Modern White Plants Pot Cylinder Planter – Premium Choice

If you treat your plants like family, you might want a premium pot that shows off your large aloe plant. In that case, you need the Modern White Plants Pot Cylinder Planter. This planter is incredibly expensive, but it is durable and attractive.

The pot is made from a fiber clay material that is durable and suitable for aloe plants. It sits on a potholder so that you can make the aloe the star of the room. The pot itself is 12 inches in diameter and 18.9 inches tall with the stand.

The price is the main drawback of this model. On top of being expensive, you will have to purchase a saucer separately.

4. D’vine Dev 10 Inch Ceramic Planter Pot

The D’vine Dev 10 Inch Ceramic Planter Pot is another glamorous pot for your aloe plant. It isn’t quite as expensive as our premium pick, but it is still pricey. It’s a bit smaller as well, making it better suited for more aloe plants.

This pot is made from ceramic material and has a modern and luxurious design. It has a ceramic tray and saucer included for inconspicuous drainage. It comes in seven colors as well, allowing you to select a pot that matches your decor perfectly.

5. D’vine Dev Terracotta Pots

If you love terracotta planters but want something with a bit more flavor than our best overall pick, check out these D’vine Dev Terracotta Pots. These pots are just as reliable as standard terracotta pots, but they go a step further by having beautiful designs. These designs allow your aloe to stand out and match your decor.

Of course, this pot is more than just attractive. It comes with drain holes, saucers, and two pots with your purchase. That way, you can trust that your terracotta pot is as effective as it is attractive.

The only drawback is that this product is expensive for terracotta pots. These two pots are about the same price as our best overall pick, which came with six pots.

6. Fivolio Home 6 Inch Flower Pot

Those who are a fan of girly, minimalistic decor will love the Fivoli Home 6 Inch Flower Pot. This pot is very simple and has a beautiful pink or gray color that matches many decor styles. The matte glazed appearance truly enhances your aloe with the mid-century design.

Just like the other aloe pots on our list, this pot is highly effective. It has a 6-inch diameter and is made from ceramic. It also comes with a steel mesh and matching saucer to ensure your aloe plant gets everything it needs to have a beautiful and healthy life.

Note that this pot only comes in one size, which means you will have to select a different pot if this one is not the right size for your plant.

7. Koamly Terracotta Planter Pots

The Koamly Terracotta Planter Pots are also standard terracotta plants, but they have adorable designs. With the purchase of these pots, you will get one 5.5-inch and 1/6-inch pot. Both pots come with drainage holes and saucers.

There is even a unique drainage mesh net included. This helps to prevent potting soil from coming into the drainage hole. In other words, the mesh further keeps your plant healthy while making the saucer look clean and attractive.

If you have a large aloe plant, these pots may not be big enough, but they are good for many young aloe plants.

8. POTEY Terracotta Planter Pots

If you have a quirky sense of style, you may like the POTEY Terracotta Planter Pots. With this purchase, you will get three pots: 6 inch, 5 inch, and 4 inch. These pots are quirky looking because they come with stands built onto the bottom, almost looking like little legs. The pots are made from terracotta as well, ensuring a durable and reliable pot for your aloe plant.

The main downside of this model is that it does not come with a saucer. So, you will have to purchase a saucer separately. Given the unique legs of the pot, it may be difficult to find a saucer that inconspicuously fits in with the design.

9. Costa Farms Aloe Vera Décor Planter

The Costa Farms Aloe Vera Décor Planter is a minimalistic and attractive pot for aloe plants. It has a light design so that it displays the green aloe leaves vibrantly. The pot is made from ceramic material, and it is about 7 inches tall, perfect for most aloe plants.

Although this model is attractive and effective, there are some drawbacks. Most notably, it is a bit expensive for what it offers. It is nothing outstanding, and it does not come with a saucer or drainage net. So, you will have to buy a saucer separately.

10. homenote Plastic Planter

The last pots on our list are the homenote Plastic Planters. With this purchase, you’ll get five different-sized plastic pots for an affordable price. You will get a 7-, 6-, 5.5-, 4.8-, and a 4.5-inch flower pot. It comes in four colors, all of which are attractive and affordable.

The reason why we have ranked this planter last on our list is that it is made from plastic. Although plastic is suitable for aloe plans, terracotta pots and ceramic pots are better. You might want a plastic planter if you intend to be transporting the aloe plant anytime soon, though.

Buyer’s Guide: Picking the Best Pot for Aloe Plants

Buying a pot for your aloe plant is actually more difficult than it may first appear. Many first-time aloe growers believe that just any pot will do. This is simply not the case. Instead, it’s important that you should select a pot based on material, drainage, and size for your aloe plant.

Here’s a closer look at each one of these factors to ensure you get the right pot for your needs:

Material

Technically speaking, aloe vera plants can grow in a variety of materials, but certain materials are better than others. The two best materials for aloe vera pots include terracotta and ceramic. These two materials maintain just the right amount of moisture and temperature so that the aloe roots are well taken care of.

It’s best to avoid pots that are made from metal. Metal pots can get too hot and lead to root burn. Conversely, wood pots have the opposite issue. They are too moist and can cause the roots to die out.

If you intend to move the plant a lot, you might want to consider hard plastic in addition to terracotta and ceramic. Hard plastic isn’t as durable or as useful as the other two materials, but plastic pots won’t be as dangerous as metal or wood pots, and it is easier to transport.

Drainage

Aloe vera plants require good drainage. It is essential that the pot you select has drainage holes at the bottom. The best pots should come with matching saucers that are inconspicuous and attractive. Not all pots come with saucers. You will need to buy saucers separately if they do not come with your pot.

Size

Many first-time aloe vera growers make the mistake of putting a pot that is the same size as the plant. Pots that are too small will cause the soil to dry out sooner, which causes your aloe vera plant to get dehydrated. On the other hand, going with a pot that is too large may prevent water from fully reaching the roots.

You always want to select the right size pot based on the aloe vera plant you have. What this means is that the ideal size will change as your plant grows. As a rule of thumb, select a pot that is 2 inches larger than the aloe vera’s current size.

Conclusion

After reading these reviews, we hope that you have an idea of what to look for in aloe pots. Of the pots we looked at, the Yishang Terra Cotta Pots are our favorite because you can never go wrong with standard terracotta pots, and these come in at an affordable price. If you want something more premium for your plant baby, we recommend the Modern White Plants Pot Cylinder Planter instead.

If you decide to get an aloe plant pot not listed here, remember the three factors mentioned above. You must consider material, drainage, and size to ensure you get the right pot for your plant. Good luck!
