Bloem Saturn 12" Round Planter vs RooTrimmer 5 Gallon Nursery Pots

Buy the Bloem Saturn if you want one finished-looking pot for a patio, porch or windowsill; its attached snap-in saucer catches runoff and the black finish looks intentional indoors. Buy the 5-pack of 12-inch nursery pots if you are potting up several plants, starting seeds or moving plants into the ground later; the soft body and rolled rims make root balls easy to slide out. The Bloem is the sturdier display piece and carries a 4.7 rating from 610 buyers; the nursery pots are thinner, plainer and sold as a working set of five.

• Choose the Bloem Saturn if you want a single decorative pot with a built-in saucer for a houseplant or a front-door display.
• Choose the 5-pack nursery pots if you need several 12-inch containers for transplanting, seedlings or a vegetable start.
