Know before you buy
This planter is specifically designed to accommodate a standard 6-inch nursery pot. While you can plant directly into it, keeping the plant in its nursery pot makes it easier to monitor the sub-irrigation system and swap out plants as needed.
The planter includes a sub-irrigation insert and aeration stones that sit at the base. This setup allows the plant to draw up the exact amount of water it needs through capillary action, preventing root rot while maintaining consistent moisture levels.
With a width of 8 inches, it is best suited for wider windowsills, bookshelves, or side tables. We recommend measuring your specific surface to ensure there is enough depth to support the 8-inch footprint.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the glazed ceramic provides a durable, non-porous surface that is easy to wipe clean. The hand-worked finish ensures that each piece has a unique, fluid texture that feels more organic than mass-produced alternatives.
Everything you need is included. Simply place the aeration stones and the sub-irrigation insert at the bottom of the planter according to the instructions, and then place your 6-inch nursery pot directly on top.
