Greenery can liven up any space, especially indoors. While many people choose to be modest about their indoor planters, others would rather incorporate quirky designs and other accessories to add something special to the space.
Head planters come in many different varieties, and before we get ahead (see what I did there?) of ourselves, let’s clarify what we mean by head planters.
The head of a plant is the flower, or the part that contains the seed. But we’re not talking about that today. No. We’re talking about head planters. Planters in the shape of a head. Pots that feature faces.
Anything that you can adorn with flowers or ferns to make it look like it’s growing hair or something else funky is super fun and exciting.
These types of planters come in all shapes and sizes, so there’s no limit to the things you can do or the places you can put them. They’re fun, but they can also be elegant.
Quirky
These unique designs are sprightly and can be great conversation starters. Mix and match or pick a favorite. By putting different plants in the same pot, you achieve a different look every time.
YIKUSH Head Planter Cement Flower Pot
This guy with his large nose and his eyes closed is peaceful enough to add a bit of relaxation to any room. It’s perfect for a library or guest bedroom, but you could also put him in the kitchen to hold herbs or a succulent.
He’s only 6 inches tall, so he’s best suited for small plants, herbs, or cacti. There’s also no drainage hole in the bottom, so make sure you plant something that is not prone to root rot or that you will water sparingly.
He’s made of cement, so the planter is sturdy and charming, for a sprinkle of cheer and warmth in any space. His rosy cheeks and soft angles are soothing and will welcome any small plant. It’s one of my favorite quirky choices because it’s fun, but not too odd.

MOCOHANA Greek Sculpture Planter Urn
This contemplative character comes in red, yellow, black, or white. I love the thoughtful expression on his face. Its resin composition is made in the Greco-Roman style with a faux distressed finish for a bit of an antique effect.
The vintage look with the abstract nature of the design make it warm but edgy. It’s 5.9 inches tall and perfect for small, indoor plants, but you could also place it outdoors. Combine several colors for a more multi-dimensional display.
There is a drain hole in the bottom to help with ventilation and to prevent root rot. The soft angles and smooth features make this planter a great addition to any room.

I know, it’s not a face or a head, but sometimes you have to spice things up. Let’s face it (I did it again), this butt planter is hilarious. Don’t you think it would make a nice companion to your head planters? Everyone needs a matching set.
Or perhaps you should think of this planter as an ode to the female body. It’s a lovely ceramic piece that’s neutral and versatile, so it goes well in most spaces. The speckled pink glaze is actually quite lovely, and it’s hand painted, so it may have a few flaws, just like us.
It has a drainage hole, so this urban boho piece can hold any type of plant, and it’s quite chic. In fact, if you’d rather not use it as a planter, it makes a great desk organizer for office supplies or a makeup brush organizer in the bathroom.
In all honesty, for generations, artists have been drawn to the naked body for many reasons, and this vase is a great way to pay homage to the history of art in a tasteful way. In fact, there’s also a taller version that contains more of the torso, and a top version.
Each sculpture is crafted from high quality ceramic then hand-painted with a speckled glaze by one of our talented artisans. May have marks as we adore on our own body. A charming small accent piece carries character and every piece tells its own story.
MONDEYO Skeleton Head Design
A skull is just a head without skin, right? So I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to include this one. Whether you’re into the look of skulls, you like to study death and the human condition, or Halloween and Dia de los Muertos are two of your favorite holidays, this is a cool item.
It’s made of strong resin so it can withstand a lot of wear and tear, and it’s environmentally friendly, so it can live either inside or outside. The drainage hole will help promote healthy plant growth, no matter what you put in it. Skulls are some of my favorite planters because I think you can plant some truly hilarious things in them. Every plant gives life to its face and changes its facial expression in a unique way.
Ornamental grasses that stand straight up will give your skull a look of surprise while elegant, flowering choices will make him look sultry and inviting. It’s a versatile pot that could be used as a fun serving dish for Halloween candy or a seasonal decor item if you don’t want to leave it out all year long.
The wonderful thing about skulls is that there are so many wonderful and gorgeous designs available. Small black skulls are great for succulents, skulls without a chin look eerie, and flowered or painted skulls can be truly beautiful and celebratory.

While this particular planter may only be 5.5 inches tall, it’s very wide, so it’s the perfect pot for plants like orchids or irises, whose roots tend to spread out farther rather than dig down deeper.

FAQs
Answer: No, it’s not recommended that you put sand in the bottom of a planter, because sand absorbs and retains moisture, which means your soli won’t drain well. The roots of your plant will sit in soggy soil and could rot. It’s better to fill your entire pot with a potting mix to avoid damage to your plants.
Answer: To fill the bottom of a large planter when you don’t want or need to waste that much good potting soil you can fill the bottom of your planter with plastic water bottles. This is a great way to recycle your plastic bottles, because they take up room in the bottom, requiring less potting soil, but still giving your plants room to grow and breathe.
You can also use packing peanuts, because they’re great at creating drainage and they’re made to last rather than deteriorate. Wood chips are also an excellent, environmentally friendly choice.
Answer: It’s not necessary to put rocks in the bottom of a planter, but one rock to cover the drainage hole can be useful. It serves the purpose of covering the hole so you don’t have soil leaching out of the bottom, but it still allows water to drain freely through the pot.
However, putting rocks at the bottom of your pots will not improve air circulation or aid in drainage, so don’t believe this myth.
Answer: Generally, the best plants for head planters are those that look like hair. For one, it’s funny. Picking ornamental grasses, string of pearls, air plants, or succulents are incredibly popular choices.
However, you can also choose flowering varieties. Anything that creeps or climbs would be an interesting and smart choice for an outdoor head planter while herbs and spices can make great useful options for a head planter in the kitchen.
Final Thoughts
Head planters are very versatile. They can be elegant, quirky, cute, or fun. Finding the right head planter for your favorite plants depends on your style, but there are plenty of options to choose from, so don’t give up.
These suggestions are just the beginning, but hopefully they gave you some ideas to get started.
