Know before you buy
To prevent root rot, place a layer of pebbles or gravel at the bottom of the planter before adding your soil. This creates a reservoir for excess water to collect away from the plant's roots.
Because these are vintage-sourced pieces, each planter features unique variations in texture, color, and wear. You should expect your item to have its own distinct character, which may differ slightly from the images shown.
This planter is not frost-proof, so it must be brought indoors during colder months to prevent the ceramic from cracking. Additionally, because it is not waterproof, it is best suited for covered outdoor areas or indoor use.
The medium planter typically measures approximately 6.2 inches in height with a diameter of 13.5 inches. Please note that due to the vintage nature of the item, dimensions may vary slightly within the 5.5 to 6.7-inch height and 13 to 14-inch diameter range.
The planter features an unglazed, matte finish that is porous. Because it is not waterproof, we recommend using a liner or a saucer if placing it on delicate surfaces to protect against moisture seepage.
