I have had very good luck getting rid of warts by first applying castor oil to the wart and then using moxa. Moxa is an herb also known as mugwort that can be purchased as a form of charcoal or loose leaf from Chinese herb shops and some natural food stores. Light the moxa (if you have the charcoal variety) and hover it over the wart until the heat is almost too much. Don't burn yourself. Do this several times over the course of a few minutes. If you have the loose variety, also called moxa punk, then roll a small pinch of it into a cone the size of the wart. Place the moxa on the wart (the castor oil should help it stick) and light it on fire. Knock the moxa off before it starts to burn you. Repeat two more times. If you are using the punk form it is best to have someone else help. Be careful not to start a fire. Do the treatment 2-3 times a day and you should notice a change in the wart within a week. It may take a few weeks to make the wart disappear entirely.
duct tape worked on my other warts - it might work for planters too. If you don't like the way it looks you can cover it w/a band aid.
I got rid of mine using the latex from milkweed <asclepias sps>.
