Find the Right Pot

Check out the different collections to find the right look for your home. Different planters suit different plants, so it's important to find the right pot for your plant. Here are some key features to look out for when choosing an outdoor planter:

• Size does matter when it comes to planters. Growing plants need room to grow and spread their roots. A pot that's too small won't be able to hold as much moisture and will ensure your plant becomes rootbound. Choose containers that are the right proportion to the size of your plant.
• Terra-cotta pots are made of porous clay, which helps keep the soil cool and wicks moisture away from plant roots.
• Stone pots are very durable and work well for permanent fixtures, but do require more watering. These planters work well for small trees and shrubs.
• Fibreglass planters are lighter than their stone counterparts. Their lightweight construction means they provide less insulation and therefore work well in indoor or sheltered environments.
