A pair of tallplanters at your entrycan make quite a statement.
When deciding which material to use, consider how much weight you want in the planter.

Based on those needs, we’ve listed several materials you could put at the bottom of a planter.
it’s possible for you to also arrange several smaller plastic pots to fill the bottom.
Styrofoam
Blocks of styrofoam are another lightweight option for planters.
Cut one to fit or use several pieces to fill the bottom.
Just ensure you situate the bubble wrap so you aren’t sealing off drainage holes.
Pine Cones
If you prefer an organic option, try filling the bottom with pine cones.
These will eventually break down into compost.
you could also use coarse gravel if you have extra on hand.
Arrange the shards in a layer in the bottom of your planter.
