Atlantis Palm Planter

The Atlantis Palm Planter is a wide hand-made Vietnamese ceramic planter in one size, 94 x 60cm outside, holding 380 litres. It is double-fired and finished in the textured aged glaze that runs through the range. The proportions are deliberate: broad and low, so a spreading crown has a base wide enough to sit under it.

Why you'll love it

• Built for a wide crown. At 94cm across and 60cm tall it carries the visual weight of a palm or a multi-stemmed plant instead of disappearing under it.
• 380 litres of soil. Enough root volume for an advanced plant to stay put for years, and enough moisture buffer to ride out a hot week.
• Frost resistant. The double firing lets a planter this size stay outdoors through winter in cold southern and inland gardens.
• Hand-finished aged glaze. Fired into the clay and applied by hand, so every planter weathers with its own character.

Sizes and what fits in them

One size only: 94 x 60cm outside width by height, 380 litres.

• Advanced palms. The width suits a spreading frond span, and 380 litres gives the root plate somewhere to go.
• Small trees and large shrubs. An olive, a citrus or a clipped feature plant sits comfortably at this volume.
• Mixed underplanting. The broad surface leaves room for low plants around the base.

Material, weathering and drainage

Material. Hand-made ceramic from Vietnam, double-fired, with the aged glaze over a textured body. Variation in tone across the surface is part of the finish.

Outdoors. Frost resistant and intended to stay outside permanently. The glaze looks weathered on arrival and keeps ageing rather than holding a uniform surface.

Drainage. It is drilled for drainage. Keep them clear and raise the planter on pot feet so water escapes freely. Cover each hole with a single layer of fibreglass flyscreen, never fabric or geofabric, which clogs, then a 50mm layer of 10mm gravel and a premium potting mix, never garden soil.

What to expect when it arrives

It ships empty and packed for transit, dispatched in 2 to 5 business days. At 94 x 60cm and 107 kg empty this needs planning: help on the day, a trolley, a clear path and a level base that carries the load once 380 litres of wet mix is in it. Set it in position, then fill and plant. Avoid aggressive root systems, which damage any planter. These pots are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
