How to find the right Planter Caddies AI guide
Written by an AI model from its trained knowledge.
What the AI looks for in Planter Caddies
- Weight rating
- Rate the caddy above the weight of the filled, watered pot, and remember that large planters get very heavy. Overloaded casters crack or flat-spot and stop rolling.
- Diameter
- The caddy should be at least the pot's base diameter, and ideally slightly larger. An overhanging pot is unstable and puts the load on the platform edge instead of the casters.
- Casters
- Choose locking casters for decks or slopes, and soft or rubber wheels for hardwood floors. Unlocked caddies drift, and hard plastic wheels scratch wood floors.
- Drainage and material
- Outdoors, choose a water-resistant platform with drainage or a built-in saucer. Pooled water rots wood caddies and stains decks.
What to avoid
- Caddies without locking casters on raised decks or ramps
- Particleboard caddies for watered pots
