Know before you buy
As this is a handcrafted wooden planter, it does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. We recommend adding a layer of gravel at the bottom or using a plastic liner to protect the wood and manage moisture for your succulents.
Redwood is naturally resistant to decay and moisture, making it an excellent choice for outdoor use. However, if you plan to keep it in direct, harsh elements, applying a natural wood sealer can help preserve its color and longevity over time.
Given its shallow depth and unique outline, this planter is ideal for succulents, sedums, or small alpine plants. These varieties thrive in the limited soil depth provided by the California-shaped design.
To maintain the natural look of the redwood, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dust or soil debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the wood grain and potentially harm your plants.
Yes, it makes a beautiful tabletop centerpiece for indoor spaces. Just be sure to place a protective tray or saucer underneath to catch any water runoff and protect your furniture surfaces.
