Product Information

Full details

This guide is for gardeners looking to easily add vertical interest and floral displays to patios, balconies, or conservatories without permanent fixtures. The key benefit is the quick, drill-free setup that instantly elevates your garden's aesthetics. A key caveat is that these pedestals are specifically designed for Plantopia model Easy Fill baskets, which must be purchased separately. These black, weather-resistant pedestal planters offer a freestanding solution to showcase hanging baskets, featuring adjustable heights and a stable base that can also accommodate additional planting.

FAQs

What size hanging baskets do these pedestals fit?

These pedestals are specifically designed to fit the Plantopia model Easy Fill hanging baskets. Other types of hanging baskets will not be compatible.

Do the hanging baskets come with the pedestals?

No, the hanging baskets are sold separately. You will need to purchase the compatible Plantopia model Easy Fill baskets in addition to the pedestal planters.

What are the two height options?

The pedestal planters offer two height settings: a taller 85cm option and a shorter 53cm option, allowing you to customize your display.

Can I plant directly into the base of the pedestal?

Yes, the wide base of the pedestal is designed to accommodate additional plants, such as bedding or trailing varieties, to create a fuller display.

Are these planters suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are made from durable, weather-resistant black plastic and are designed for outdoor use on patios, balconies, and in gardens.

How easy are they to assemble?

Assembly is very quick and easy, taking just minutes to adjust the height and place your filled basket. No tools are required.

Can I move them around my garden?

Yes, they are lightweight and freestanding, making them easy to move to different locations as desired.

Troubleshooting

Pedestal feels unstable

Ensure the pedestal is placed on a flat, level surface. Verify the height adjustment is securely locked. Consider planting additional trailing plants in the base to add weight and stability.

Hanging basket does not fit securely

Confirm that you are using a Plantopia model Easy Fill hanging basket, as these pedestals are only compatible with that specific type. Ensure the basket is fully seated within the pedestal's holder.

Difficulty adjusting height

Ensure the telescopic pole is clean and free from debris. Gently twist and pull/push to adjust, ensuring the locking mechanism clicks into place. If stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant might help.

Plastic appears faded after a season

While weather-resistant, prolonged intense sun exposure can cause some fading over time. Regular cleaning can help maintain appearance. Consider rotating the planter's position seasonally.

Cons
