FAQs
Can this vase be used indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors, especially for artificial plants or as a decorative piece. If using for live plants indoors, you must place a protective saucer or tray underneath to catch any drainage from the integrated hole and prevent damage to your surfaces.
What are the exact dimensions of the vase?
The dimensions are approximately 50 cm (height) x 28 cm (width) x 28 cm (depth).
Does this vase come with a separate saucer for drainage?
No, the vase features in-built drainage but does not come with a separate saucer. If using indoors for live plants, you will need to purchase a suitable saucer separately.
Is the vase heavy to move?
No, despite being made of iron, it is designed to be lightweight, weighing approximately 1.33 kg when empty, making it easy to move and re-position.
What kind of plants are best suited for this vase?
Its size and style make it suitable for a variety of medium to large plants, such as ornamental grasses, ferns, small shrubs, or a cluster of flowering annuals. Its height also makes it great for showcasing plants with trailing foliage.
Will the metallic finish fade or change color over time in the sun?
The galvanised finish is designed to be stable in sunlight and resistant to fading, ensuring its appearance remains consistent over time, even with prolonged outdoor exposure.
How do I ensure my plant thrives with the built-in drainage?
To ensure your plant thrives, use a good quality potting mix that drains well. You can also add a layer of gravel or broken pot shards at the bottom before adding soil to further improve drainage and prevent the hole from becoming blocked.
Troubleshooting
Water is not draining properly from the vase.
Check the drainage hole at the bottom of the vase to ensure it is not blocked by soil or roots. Use a stick or small tool to clear any obstructions. Ensure your potting mix is well-draining.
The vase appears dull or dirty.
Wipe the vase down with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild solution of dish soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Small rust spots are appearing, despite being rust-resistant.
While highly rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to stagnant water or corrosive substances can sometimes cause minor surface rust. Gently clean the area with a fine-grade steel wool or rust remover designed for galvanized surfaces, then rinse and dry. Embracing a natural patina is also an aesthetic choice for some.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility
- Plants: Compatible with a wide variety of plants, both real and artificial. Its 50 cm height makes it suitable for medium to large plants, or multiple smaller plants.
- Locations: Designed for outdoor use on terraces, patios, front doors, balconies, and garden spaces. It can also be used indoors as a decorative piece for artificial arrangements, or for live plants if placed on a protective saucer to catch drainage.
- Style: The vintage-style, ribbed galvanised iron aesthetic blends well with rustic, industrial, modern farmhouse, and contemporary outdoor decors.
Care
- Cleaning: To maintain its appearance, gently wipe the vase with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scouring pads, which could damage the galvanised finish.
- Drainage: Regularly check the in-built drainage hole to ensure it remains clear of soil or debris to prevent water accumulation.
- Seasonal Maintenance: While resistant to frost and rust, an occasional inspection, especially after harsh weather, is recommended to ensure its longevity. No special winter storage is typically required due to its robust design.
- Protecting Surfaces: If using indoors, always place a protective saucer or tray underneath the vase to prevent water leakage from the drainage hole from damaging flooring or furniture.
