Know before you buy
Yes, the planter is crafted from durable cast iron, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. However, please note that cast iron will naturally develop a patina or rust over time when exposed to moisture, which many find adds to its character.
The Spindle Planter is designed as a standard pot. We recommend using a nursery liner or a smaller plastic pot inside to manage drainage, as the cast iron construction does not include a pre-drilled drainage hole.
Given its cast iron construction, the planter has significant weight, which provides excellent stability for floor-standing use. It is sturdy enough to remain upright on a patio or balcony without the risk of tipping over in moderate wind.
To maintain the original look, you can wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If you prefer to prevent the natural oxidation process, you can periodically apply a light coat of clear metal wax or oil.
Yes, the 13.5-inch opening is designed to accommodate most standard 12-inch nursery pots comfortably. We suggest measuring your specific plant's current container to ensure a proper fit before placing it inside.
