Know before you buy
No, this planter does not have drainage holes. We recommend keeping your plant in a plastic nursery pot with a saucer inside the basket to protect the natural fibers from moisture.
While the planter is technically suitable for indoor or outdoor use, it is not weather-resistant. To maintain the integrity of the natural banana leaf fibers, it is best kept in a covered, dry area away from direct rain or harsh elements.
With a 12-inch width and 10.5-inch height, this planter is designed for medium-sized plants. It works perfectly for standard nursery pots that are 10 inches or smaller in diameter.
Maintenance is simple. You can spot clean the basket as needed with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth for tougher spots. Avoid soaking the material to prevent damage to the natural fibers.
Yes, its flexible yet durable construction makes it a great storage solution. It is ideal for organizing household items like throw blankets, towels, or toys in a living room or bedroom.
