FAQs
Can I drill holes in these ceramic pots?
While it is possible to drill ceramic using a diamond-tipped masonry drill bit and plenty of water for cooling, it carries a risk of cracking the pot. Proceed with caution.
Are these pots frost-proof?
These pots are primarily designed for indoor use or sheltered outdoor areas. We recommend bringing them inside during freezing temperatures to prevent the ceramic from cracking.
What is the exact diameter of the pots?
The pots are approximately 12cm in diameter, making them suitable for most standard small garden center plant pots.
Are the pots heavy?
Being ceramic, they have a solid, stable weight that prevents them from tipping over easily, but they are lightweight enough to be moved between rooms comfortably.
Can I use these for direct planting?
Yes, you can plant directly into them. Just ensure you manage your watering carefully to prevent root rot since there are no drainage holes at the bottom.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the pot
Because there are no drainage holes, use a spray bottle to water sparingly or insert a plastic nursery pot inside the ceramic pot to allow for easy water removal.
Surface marks or scuffs
Gently wipe the area with a damp microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, ensure the cloth is only slightly dampened with mild dish soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your plants thrive, consider placing a layer of Leca or coarse gravel at the bottom of the pot to create a drainage reservoir, as the pots do not feature drainage holes. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap; avoid abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the matt pink finish. If placing these pots on delicate wooden furniture, consider using small felt pads on the bottom to prevent potential surface scratches.
