Help for When You Need to Move Plants Around

By , About.com Guide

Large plants are wonderful to look at, but a handful to move. Place your large pots on plant caddies, for easy movement anytime. You can roll the plant to the sink, to water, roll it into the sun, roll it indoors or out or anywhere you want. Plant caddies can be decorative or invisible, but they're always functional. Here are some top pick plant caddies.

1. Wooden Plant Caddy

For really heavy plants, skip the ornamentation and go for a good, solid dolly. This wooden caddy holds plants up to 200 lbs. It has 4 non-marring urethane wheels that do a decent job on carpets too. There's a square style and a larger rectangular caddy. Both are made of solid pine, coated with an exterior-grade clear sealer. Dimensions: 12" x 12" x 4" or 15" x 15" x 4". There is also a round model.

This is a more decorative model than the basic coaster. It has a round base that holds any shape pot up to 16.25" in diameter. It's made of steel, for years of abuse. The caddy is constructed of open scrolls, but there is also a plastic tray for overflow. Five casters keep it balanced and make rolling easier. Dimensions: 16.25" diameter.

3. Woodstream 13" Plant Caddy

Basic Model Plant Caddy.Photo: Courtesy of PriceGrabber. Used with Permission.
This is a very basic caddy for moving a plant that's too heavy to lift and reposition. 13" diameter isn't wide, but it's a flat surface, so there can be some overhang. And with 4 casters, it's well-balanced enough to move plants without tipping over on route. It even has a water reservoir to catch overflow. Made of clear plastic polymer.
