Black Fibre Stone Round Planter

This Black Fibre Stone Round Planter is the 340 x 290mm size, moulded from 100% fibrestone in a smooth black finish. It holds roughly 20 to 25 litres of potting mix, is rated for indoors and outdoors, and gives you the density and colour of a stone pot at a weight one person can carry.

Why you'll love it

• Stone looks, manageable weight. Fibrestone reads as solid stone but lifts like a composite, so it can go on a balcony or an upstairs terrace without a second thought.
• Drainage you control. The drainage hole is fitted with a removable plastic plug. Leave it in for indoor use, pull it out when the pot goes outside.
• Deep black, untextured finish. The surface is smooth and even, so the pot sits quietly under the plant instead of competing with it.

Sizes and what fits in them

This listing is a single size in the range, sold on its own.

• 340 x 290mm. 34cm across the top and 29cm high, holding roughly 20 to 25 litres of mix.
• What fits. A plant currently in a 200mm or 250mm grower pot steps straight in with room to grow. Think feature foliage, a compact shrub or a decorative indoor specimen.
• Cover pot method. You can also drop a nursery pot inside and use this as a cover pot, which makes swapping seasonal plants simple.

Material, weathering and drainage

Material. 100% fibrestone, a stone composite. It is rigid and hard wearing, and it cleans up with a damp cloth or a rinse.

Outdoors. Rated for outdoor use as well as indoor. Set it on a stable, level surface before planting. We hold no frost rating for this finish, so in districts that freeze hard, move it under cover for winter rather than leaving it full of wet mix.

Drainage. There is a drainage hole with a removable plastic plug. Outdoors, take the plug out so the pot drains freely. Indoors, leave it in and water conservatively. No saucer is included, so add one if the pot is going onto timber or carpet.

What to expect when it arrives

The planter ships empty and packed for transit, with no plant, potting mix or saucer. At 340 x 290mm it is a two hand carry rather than a two person job, so most people can place it and fill it where it stands. Planters are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
