Glazed ceramic cylinder - crackle green

These green glazed cylinder planters are handmade in Vietnam, a country with a long and proud history of producing beautiful ceramics. The rich jewel colour is superb for setting off bright spring bulbs, and great for foliage too.

They would also work very well as indoor pots either sitting in a saucer or used as a pot cover with a saucer placed inside for a clean and tidy look.

With three available sizes, they look really effective clustered together, one of each size, to create a tiered display. In smaller areas, a single pot will add a pop of cheerful colour to make the most of the space.

Fired at very high temperatures for UV and frost resistance, the pots are suitable for year-round outdoor use. Supplied with a 2cm drainage hole.

Care and maintenance

Raise the pot off the ground with pot feet, making sure the drainage hole is clear so it can drain freely. Arranging a few crocks in the bottom of the pot before adding your soil will help stop the hole from clogging.

Protect the pot from frost damage over winter by sealing it with wax, wrapping it in bubble wrap, fleece or newspaper, moving it to an unheated shed or greenhouse, or placing it in a sheltered spot.

If using for perennial plants, repot them when they outgrow the pot to stop roots from cracking the base. To know when it’s time to repot, check underneath the pot for roots starting to emerge from the drainage hole.

Please note: as with all glazed planters, there may be hairline cracks present in the glaze. These are only surface deep and will not compromise the structural integrity of the pot in any way.
