February is a fickle month. It often delivers the worst winter weather, with heavy snowfall and below-freezing temperatures, all while teasing the arrival of spring. If you can’t wait for the tulips to bloom, incorporating plants into your home’s decor is a great way to add color, texture and personality. Here we’ve rounded up 10 pots and stands that will inspire you to go green.
