Know before you buy
The planter is designed as a standard pot, but because it is handcrafted clay, we recommend using a plastic liner inside to protect the integrity of the pot and manage water drainage effectively.
These planters are best suited for indoor use or protected, covered outdoor areas. Because they are made of natural clay, they should be kept out of freezing temperatures or direct, harsh weather to prevent cracking.
Maintenance is simple. You can keep the surface looking fresh by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the finish.
No, the matching saucer is a separate piece. This allows you to easily remove it for cleaning or to empty any excess water that collects after watering your plants.
We recommend choosing a pot that is 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter than your plant's current nursery container. This provides enough room for root growth while ensuring the plant fits securely within the planter.
