Know before you buy
No. Because each piece is hand-sourced and has a unique history as a former feed trough or water pot, every planter features distinct weathering, textures, and character marks. You should expect variations in color and surface detail.
If you plan to keep the planter outdoors, we highly recommend drilling a drainage hole to prevent water from pooling and damaging your plant's roots. You can easily add one using a masonry drill bit.
With its 22-inch width and 15-inch height, this planter is ideal for large indoor trees, structural shrubs, or oversized arrangements. Its substantial depth provides plenty of room for root systems to thrive.
Since the vessel does not have a drainage hole, it is best to keep your plant in a plastic nursery pot inside the limestone planter. This allows you to remove the plant for watering and prevents moisture from sitting directly against the stone.
Yes. Given the material and the substantial dimensions of the piece, it is quite heavy and stable. It is an excellent choice for windy outdoor areas where lighter pots might tip over.
