With gardening becoming more and more popular, many plant parents have taken indoor gardening a step further with the use of trendy, unique, and colorful planters or pots for their leafy babies.

Among the long list of popular planters is the bayong pot. Bayong is a local native basket bag made of woven dried leaves (pandan or buri), commonly used as a shopping bag. But ingenious entrepreneurs have reinvented this native handicraft into to a plant accessory.

Also, various native baskets made from rattan, bamboo, and other natural materials have also been carefully crafted so pots can fit snuggly in them.

According to plant enthusiast Reggie Atazar in his interview on Unang Hirit on Tuesday, October 20, bayong pots aren't just affordable, they are also durable and good for retaining moisture, which is perfectly suitable for plants like alocasia and caladium.

Here's a list of online stores that sell bayong planters for indoor plants:
