This 20cm Greenville pot in Concrete/Grey is ideal for home gardeners seeking a durable, eco-friendly planter for indoor or outdoor use. Its key benefit is the integrated water reservoir, reducing watering frequency, though its rigid material may not suit all plant types requiring more flexible pots. Made from 100% recyclable polypropylene and manufactured using wind energy, it offers a sustainable choice with features like frost resistance for year-round use.

The specific capacity of the water reservoir is not detailed, but it is designed to reduce watering frequency for typical plant needs.
You can typically check the water level visually through the drainage holes or by feeling the weight of the pot. Some systems have a water level indicator. Refill when the reservoir appears low or empty.
Yes, it can be used for seedlings, but ensure the potting mix is appropriate and the water reservoir does not keep the delicate seedlings too consistently saturated, which could lead to damping-off.
Color variations can occur in recycled materials, but B&Q aims for consistency. Minor aesthetic differences may be present due to the nature of recycled plastic.
Plants that prefer consistently moist soil, such as ferns, peace lilies, or many flowering annuals, are ideal. Drought-tolerant plants can also benefit from the reservoir, reducing overwatering risks.
Drilling additional holes is possible, but care should be taken not to damage the integrated water reservoir system. It is generally recommended to use the existing holes.
The pot has a diameter of 20cm. The height and base diameter are not specified but are typical for a 20cm round pot.
Ensure the potting mix has good drainage. Reduce the frequency of top watering and allow the reservoir to empty partially between refills. Check if the drainage holes at the bottom are clear.
Ensure the reservoir is filled correctly and the wick system (if applicable) is in contact with the soil. Check for any cracks or leaks in the reservoir. The plant may also have a very high water demand.
While frost-resistant, extreme prolonged freezing with saturated soil can stress materials. Inspect for any minor cracks and consider bringing the pot indoors during the harshest winter months if it contains sensitive plants.
Setup: Simply fill the pot with your chosen potting mix, ensuring adequate drainage material at the base if necessary. Add your plant and water thoroughly initially. The integrated reservoir will then manage the ongoing water supply.
Compatibility: Suitable for most indoor and outdoor plants, especially those that prefer consistent moisture or are prone to drying out. It is compatible with various soil types. Ensure the plant's root system is not overly expansive and will not be constricted by the pot's 20cm diameter and depth.
Care: Clean the pot with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For long-term storage, empty and clean the pot. Its frost-resistant nature means it can remain outdoors but ensure the soil is not waterlogged during freezing temperatures to prevent potential damage to the plant itself.
