White Vibes Indoor Plant Pot

The White Vibes Indoor Plant Pot is a rounded cover pot with a fine decorative texture, made from 100 per cent recycled plastic and sold in 160mm and 220mm. It is designed and manufactured in Holland by Elho and produced using wind energy, so the sustainability claim covers the material and the factory. There are no drainage holes: this is an indoor pot built to hold a nursery pot, not to be planted into directly.

Why you'll love it

• Recycled and recyclable. Made entirely from recycled plastic and recyclable again at the end of its life, in a pot that still looks considered.
• It will not discolour. Unlike cheaper white plastic, the finish is made to hold its colour rather than yellow off after a few years indoors.
• Light and easy to move. Simple to lift off a shelf for watering, and it will not mark timber the way a heavy ceramic pot can.
• Texture that reads up close. The soft pattern gives the white some depth at the distance indoor plants are actually viewed from.

Sizes and what fits in them

Two sizes, both scaled for shelves and side tables rather than the floor.

• 160mm. 161mm across and 148mm tall, holding about 2 to 3 litres. It takes a nursery pot of up to roughly 140mm, so it suits cuttings, small foliage plants and compact succulents.
• 220mm. 220mm across and 202mm tall, holding about 5 to 6 litres. Room for a nursery pot of up to roughly 190mm, which covers most feature houseplants sold at that size.

Material, weathering and drainage

Material. Recycled plastic, textured outside and smooth within. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth when dust settles into the pattern.

Outdoors. This one is indoor only. It carries no outdoor rating, and a pot without drainage left in the weather fills with rain and drowns whatever is in it.

Drainage. None, by design. Keep the plant in its nursery pot, lift it out to water, let it drain in the sink and drop it back in. If you would rather water in place, do it sparingly and tip out whatever pools in the base. No saucer is needed or supplied, because nothing runs out the bottom.

What to expect when it arrives

Pots ship empty and are packed to travel on their own. Recycled plastic handles freight better than ceramic, so the 220mm arrives without the crating a glazed pot needs. Delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
