Know before you buy
No, the planter does not have a drainage hole. We recommend keeping your plant in a plastic nursery pot with a saucer inside the basket to protect the natural grass material from moisture.
This planter is designed specifically for indoor use. Because it is crafted from natural elephant grass, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or outdoor elements can cause the material to fade or degrade.
To keep your planter in top condition, spot clean it with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. It is important to keep the basket dry and avoid placing it in areas with high humidity.
Each piece is unique due to the traditional handweaving process. While the dimensions and overall design remain consistent, you should expect slight variations in the weave and tone that reflect the artisan's individual touch.
The elephant grass is durable and flexible, making it ideal for standard houseplants. However, because it is a lightweight, woven material, it is best suited for medium-weight plants rather than very heavy or large trees.
