These planters work best with the plant re-potted directly into them rather than left in their grow pots. This will however raise the height of the plant slightly in the planter.įor hydroculture plants use the size tip to select a decorative pot that will accommodate the waterproof liner recommended for the plant in the hydro kit.Īrtstone planters include a non-removable water reservoir, which raises the internal base height of the planter. In this case you can add a liner on a small layer of pebbles to increase the size of the base. Note: If the shape of the planter tapers strongly at the base, it might not be wide enough for your plant to sit squarely at the bottom. For smaller plants (up to 14cm grow pots) you should go slightly smaller and for larger plants (above 24cm) you can add 2-3cm without the pot looking too large for the plant. Tip: Pick a decorative pot that has an opening about 1cm larger than the size of the plant's grow pot. We show the size of the decorative pot openings for each pot as you click the different size options or hover over the size buttons. How do I choose the correct sized decorative pot to fit my houseplant?ĭetermine the plant's grow pot diameter. Compare this to the size of the opening of your chosen decorative pot and ensure it is big enough to insert the plant's grow pot through the opening (see diagram below). Hydroculture plant roots have been specially adapted to grow in hydrogranules, which creates a smaller, more fleshy and hardier root system. This results in mature plants being available in smaller grow pots than their soil based equivalents. For example: an 18/19 grow pot has an 18cm diameter at the rim and is 19cm tall. Hydroculture plants are measured the same way as soil plants, however the grow pots are sized by diameter plus their standardised heights, which allows a water meter to be fitted. The larger the diameter, the more mature the plant. Plants suitable for hanging may be depicted in a hanging grow pot, the actual grow pot used to ship the plant might not include these attachments.įor plants in soil the key size in determining the maturity and fullness of a plant is the diameter of the grow pot. Please note: plant heights are approximate and are provided for indicative purposes only. It therefore includes the plant roots etc as well as the height or length of the plant. This means the diameter of the grow pot at the top of rim x the total height of the plant including the grow pot. Plant sizes are shown as the grow pot diameter x the total height of the plant.
