Planters for My Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees

I recently welcomed a pair of Fiddle Leaf Fig trees into my home. These trees make great houseplants and are supposedly easy to care for...hopefully I don't prove that theory wrong! Anyhow, now I seriously need two containers for the trees as you'll see below.

This one is sitting on a beautiful cardboard box lid...

And this one is occupying a lovely metal trash can...

Not exactly the look I'm going for!


I'm thinking that I want either a pair of classic lacquered box planters or Chinese fish bowls. I'm also open to using two different containers. Per the usual, the kinds of planters I like are pretty darned expensive but I found a couple of affordable options. Here's the mix of styles that I like..can you guess which ones are pricey and which are bargains?


The Imari Jardiniere is the priciest one...ringing in at almost $5,500. Needless to say, I won't be getting that one! I'd really like to get a porcelain fish bowl but the larger ones aren't cheap. I'm so mad at myself that I didn't buy one that I saw at Homegoods last year! Anyhow, for my budget, I'm liking #1 and #11. Which ones do you like? This is the room that they'll be going in...
