Full details

Its key benefit is a durable, eco-friendly construction with a sophisticated stone-like texture, perfect for showcasing flowers, shrubs, or decorative plants. A minor consideration is that while it's designed for outdoor use, care should be taken in extreme weather conditions to prevent potential damage to the material over time.

FAQs

The Medium size is approximately 35.5cm in height and 32.5cm in diameter (14" x 12.8"). The Large size is approximately 43cm in height and 39.5cm in diameter (16.9" x 15.5").
Does the pot come with drainage holes?
Yes, each pot comes with pre-drilled drainage holes, ready for immediate planting outdoors.
Can this planter be used indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors, but it is highly recommended to place it on a saucer to catch any excess water and protect your flooring or surfaces.
What is the planter made of?
It is constructed from a blend of 50% recycled plastic, 45% stone powder, and 5% fibreglass.
Is the color likely to fade?
The planter is designed to be weather-resistant. While some minor fading may occur over many years of prolonged direct sun exposure, it is generally very durable.
How should I clean the planter?
Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly.
Is this planter heavy?
Compared to traditional ceramic or stone pots of the same size, it is significantly lighter due to its composite material construction, making it easier to move.
Troubleshooting
Plant appears overwatered despite drainage holes
Ensure the drainage holes are not blocked by soil or roots. Use a well-draining soil mix appropriate for your plant. In very wet climates, consider elevating the pot slightly with pot feet.
Surface appears to be developing a white, chalky residue (efflorescence)
This is a natural phenomenon with mineral-based materials. It can typically be wiped away with a damp cloth or a mild vinegar solution. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Planter feels unusually light when empty
This is normal due to the lightweight composite material. Ensure it is filled with enough soil and plants to provide stability, especially in windy locations.
