Know before you buy
While the pot is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it is crafted from metal. To maintain its finish and prevent potential weathering or rust, we recommend keeping it in a sheltered outdoor area or bringing it inside during harsh winter months.
The Mategot Flowerpot does not feature a drainage hole. We recommend using a plastic liner or a smaller nursery pot inside to manage water and protect the metal interior from moisture buildup.
The perforated Rigitulle metal is best cleaned by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
The medium size measures 6.10 inches in diameter and 4.72 inches in height, while the large size is 8.27 inches in diameter and 6.69 inches in height. The medium is ideal for smaller succulents or herbs, while the large provides more room for standard houseplants.
The flowerpot features a durable powder-coated finish, but like any metal object, it can be scratched by sharp or heavy items. We suggest placing felt pads on the bottom if you plan to move it frequently across delicate surfaces like wood or glass.
