Know before you buy
The product description does not specify a drainage hole. If you are planting directly into the vessel, we recommend adding a layer of gravel at the bottom or using a plastic liner to manage moisture.
The planter is crafted from a combination of aluminum and iron. While these materials are durable for outdoor use, iron can develop a patina or rust over time when exposed to the elements; we recommend applying a clear coat sealant if you live in a high-humidity or coastal environment.
Given the dimensions of 17 inches wide by 6.5 inches high, this planter is best suited for shallow-rooted annuals like pansies, petunias, or small succulents. It is designed more as a decorative accent piece rather than a home for deep-rooted perennials.
At 3.7 pounds, the planter is relatively lightweight. If you plan to place it in a high-wind area, you may want to add decorative stones or a heavier potting medium to the base to provide extra stability.
Yes, the Whale Planter can be used indoors as a decorative piece. Just be sure to use a saucer or liner underneath to protect your surfaces, as the planter does not come with a plug for drainage.
