FAQs
Do these pots have drainage holes?
No, these Nicola Spring plant pots are designed without drainage holes to prevent drips indoors.
Can I use these pots for succulents?
While possible, it requires very careful watering. Succulents prefer dry conditions, and the lack of drainage can lead to root rot. Consider adding a significant drainage layer or planting in an inner pot with drainage.
How should I clean the pots?
Wipe the pots with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Are the designs exactly the same on every pot?
Each pot is hand-printed, so there may be slight variations, which adds to their unique character.
What are the dimensions of each pot?
Each pot measures approximately 125mm in height and 138mm in diameter.
Can these pots be used outdoors year-round?
They are suitable for outdoor use, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather or freezing temperatures may cause damage. It's advisable to bring them indoors during extreme weather conditions.
What material are the pots made from?
The pots are made from ceramic with a strong glazed finish.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the bottom of the pot
This is expected due to the lack of drainage holes. Water sparingly, ensuring the soil is only moist, not saturated. For sensitive plants, add a drainage layer or use an inner pot with drainage holes.
Slight imperfections in the hand-printed design
Minor variations are characteristic of hand-printed items and add to their unique charm. If the imperfection is significant, contact the retailer.
Pot appears to be leaking
Ensure the pot is not cracked. Check the glazed finish for any fissures. If a leak is confirmed and not due to damage, contact the retailer as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Cons
- Absence of drainage holes can be problematic for plants that require good drainage, increasing the risk of root rot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pots require no assembly. Simply place your chosen plant and soil directly into the pot. For plants sensitive to overwatering, consider adding a layer of gravel or drainage pebbles at the bottom before adding soil.
Compatibility: The pots are compatible with standard potting soil mixes. Their size is suitable for small to medium-sized plants. Due to the lack of drainage holes, they are best suited for plants that tolerate consistently moist soil or for use with an inner nursery pot that has drainage.
Care: Clean the pots by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could damage the glazed finish. While durable, handle with care to prevent chipping or breaking, especially when moving them.
