Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Each piece can be used in interior or exterior settings.

  • Each planter is offered with or without a drainage port, which must be specified during the ordering process.

  • Yes. All pieces are double waterproofed from the inside. This prevents water seeping into the concrete body of the planter. For vessels ordered without drainage the waterproofing will catch any excess / unwanted water from the plant’s watering schedule.

  • Yes. They are finished with a matter sealer. The sealer keeps dust and moisture out but does not prevent stains or scuff marks.

  • Yes. Concrete is porous and so will develop a patina as it ages. The patina will develop more rapidly outside and according to the surrounding environment.

  • No. The concrete mix design, waterproofing and sealers are not organic and thus should not be used to grow plants intended for consumption.

  • Mild soapy water or a magic eraser is best for regular upkeep. For scuff marks we recommend any calcium carbonate cleaner (ie. Comet, Barkeeper’s Friend) and a non-metal stiff bristle brush.

Installation Guide

  • We recommend keeping the vessels in their packaging material until they are ready to be installed.

  • Many of the vessels are heavy and are best handled by professional installers in teams of two or more.

  • While the concrete is extremely strong the edges of the vessels are delicate. Take care when installing to avoid any chipping or damage to the surface.

  • Many of the vessels are designed to slot into one another and should be arranged according to drainage requirements and plant material.

  • All plants have very specific requirements to lead a healthy life. We recommend consulting a professional to advise on plant choices best suited for your project.

  • Should the vessels have soil marks on them from the installation of plant material it is best to clean them immediately with a non-abrasive cleaning agent and stiff bristle brush.
