FAQs
Does this pot come with drainage holes?
No, these pots are designed as solid vessels. It is recommended to use an inner nursery pot or add drainage material at the bottom.
Can I leave these pots outside in winter?
It is best to bring them indoors or into a sheltered area during winter to prevent potential cracking from freezing moisture.
Are the pots heavy?
Yes, being made of cement, they have a substantial, high-quality weight that provides excellent stability.
What is the diameter of these pots?
These pots are 13cm in diameter, making them suitable for most standard small houseplant sizes.
Can I paint these pots?
While they come in a clean white finish, the cement surface is generally receptive to masonry or acrylic paints if you wish to customize them.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the pot
Use a nursery liner pot inside the cement shell or add a drainage layer of pebbles at the base.
Surface dust or white residue
Gently wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth and ensure it is dried thoroughly.
Pot feels too heavy for a specific shelf
Ensure the shelf is load-rated for the weight of cement and soil; consider using lightweight plastic inserts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the pots for use, ensure your chosen plants are appropriate for the 13cm diameter. If you intend to plant directly into the cement, it is highly recommended to add a layer of gravel or expanded clay pebbles at the bottom to act as a drainage reservoir since the containers lack holes. To maintain the clean white finish, wipe the exterior periodically with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive brushes or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may scratch or discolor the surface finish. If using outdoors, bring the pots inside during freezing temperatures to prevent the cement from cracking due to moisture expansion.
