Pots & Planters FAQs
-
The majority of planters and pots in this category are crafted from various materials including terracotta, ceramic, metal, stoneware, cement, and bamboo. These materials are selected for their durability and aesthetic qualities. For instance, terracotta is known for its porous nature, which allows air and moisture to move freely, promoting healthy plant growth. Ceramic planters are often glazed to add a layer of sophistication and are favoured for indoor use due to their elegant appearance. Metal planters, on the other hand, are robust and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Bamboo and wood planters provide a rustic charm and are often chosen for their eco-friendly properties.
-
Many of the planters in this category are versatile and can be used both indoors and outdoors. However, it's important to note the material of the planter when deciding where to place it. Items like the Planter Ballina Mango and Planter Ballina White, made from bamboo, are more suited for covered outdoor areas or indoor use due to the natural materials being sensitive to prolonged exposure to moisture and harsh weather. Conversely, metal and ceramic planters are more robust and weather-resistant, making them suitable for outdoor use. Always consider applying a protective coating if you want to use materials like MDF or timber outdoors.
-
Caring for these planters involves regular cleaning and ensuring they are not exposed to conditions that could damage the material. For ceramic and terracotta planters, a simple wipe with a damp cloth can help maintain their sheen and remove any dust or stains. For metal planters such as the Planters S/2 Lilac, occasional polishing can help retain their lustre and prevent rust. Timber and bamboo planters should be kept dry and stored in cool, dry places; applying a sealant can also prolong their lifespan. For cement planters, gentle cleaning with water is usually sufficient. Always avoid harsh chemicals that can erode the finish or material of the planter.
-
Most planters in this category are designed with practical drainage solutions in mind. For example, the Planter Bamboo Flower Royal S/2 comes with a hole in the base to facilitate proper drainage. This feature is essential for preventing waterlogging, which can harm plant roots. If a planter does not come with a drainage hole, it's recommended to use a layer of pebbles at the bottom to ensure proper water drainage. Alternatively, you can manually add drainage holes if the material permits it.
-
Absolutely! These planters are perfect for both real and artificial plants. Products like the Planter Moby Fish and Planter Jaz Giraffe Aqua can enhance the aesthetic of artificial plants, providing an attractive base that complements the faux foliage. Using artificial plants eliminates the need for maintenance like watering but still allows you to enjoy the visual appeal of greenery. These planters serve as stylish containers that can elevate the décor of both residential and commercial spaces.
-
Terracotta planters, such as the Pot Tall Branching and Pot Straight Branching, offer several benefits. Their porous nature ensures that air and water can move through the walls, preventing soil disease and root rot, which is particularly beneficial for plants that prefer drier conditions. They also have a timeless, earthy aesthetic that complements various decor styles, from rustic to contemporary. Additionally, terracotta helps to regulate soil temperature, keeping it cool in summer and providing some insulation in winter. This material is highly durable and can withstand outdoor elements, making it a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor settings.
-
Yes, many planters in this category are available in matching sets, providing a cohesive look for your greenery display. For example, the Pot S/2 Avril Sky and Pot S/2 Avril Watermelon are designed to complement each other seamlessly. These sets are particularly useful for creating layered visual interest or lining walkways and patios. Matching sets can simplify the process of decorating large areas with multiple plants, ensuring a consistent and harmonious aesthetic across the space.
-
Certainly, a significant number of planters in this category are handcrafted, adding a unique touch to each piece. For instance, the Planter Mac the Turtle and Planter Jaz Giraffe Aqua are handmade, ensuring that no two items are exactly alike. Handcrafted planters often feature intricate patterns, textures, and finishes that mass-produced items cannot replicate. The slight variations in each piece highlight the craftsmanship involved and add to the individual character of each planter, making them excellent choices for adding an artisanal touch to your space.
-
To create a cohesive look using these planters, consider pairing sets and selecting a consistent colour palette or theme. For instance, using planters like the Planter Santorini and Planter Corfu together can create a visually pleasing Mediterranean-inspired theme. Grouping plans of different heights and shapes but maintaining the same material or design pattern across them can unify the display. You can also create thematic clusters by using planters from the same family or collection, ensuring each element complements the other. Mixing large and small planters within the same design framework will add depth and interest to your décor while preserving a harmonious aesthetic.
-
Yes, several planters in this category are eco-friendly, crafted from sustainable materials like bamboo and reclaimed wood. For instance, the Planter Ballina Mango and Planter Ballina White are made from bamboo, known for its rapid growth and minimal environmental impact. These materials are biodegradable and often involve minimal processing, reducing their carbon footprint. Opting for eco-friendly planters not only supports sustainability but also adds natural beauty and a rustic charm to your garden or indoor space. These planters are not only visually appealing but also align with growing consumer trends toward environmentally responsible products.

As a nation blessed with great weather we love spending time outdoors and we love that outdoor space to look as good as the rest of the house.

Decorative urns, planters and herb pots have been part of this range for some time now, but we have recently started adding decorative garden stakes, gorgeous bang on trend terrariums and decorative watering cans and pitchers.

These outdoor items are perfect for balconies, patios, decking and porches. We also see them in hallways, boot rooms and laundry rooms, adding some decor to those practical rooms on empty floor space or window ledges.
