If you Google decorating trends for 2020, you will see recycled wood, living walls fiber pots, and plants being used as the main focal point.

What better way to put a plant in the spotlight than to display leafy green plants and brightly colored flowers in neutral, earthy, attractive containers made of recycled newspaper?

Fiber pots insulate the roots and protect them during extreme temperature fluctuations. They also prevent rot by drawing excess water out (as the moisture evaporates and cools the soil).
