Plant caddies are a convenient invention with caster wheels that allow you to slide pots out of the way easily. We’ve revealed the leading brands here to help you pick out the right style.

A heavy-duty plant caddy can hold up to 500 pounds, making these ones ideal for potted trees or shrubs. Moreover, if your plant requires drainage, consider a rust-resistant or rustproof caddy made of metal. Plastic is also a safe bet, though the loading capacity will be lower.
