For no fuss or mess you can place the plant in its growing pot (the pot it arrives in) inside a decorative one. This allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in a rounded pot.

Nursery Pot Diameter	Minimum Decorative Pot Opening Required
⌀17cm	18-19cm
⌀20cm	21-22cm
⌀25cm	25-26cm
⌀28cm	29-30cm
⌀33cm	34-35cm

For a seamless finish where the plant is potted into the decorative pot, liners are available to prevent water leaking and the pot from damage.

We also offer a potting service.

Plants are perfectly happy left in their nursery pots and placed inside a decorative pot, however if you prefer the look of a potted plant choose our potting service.

Add our potting service (indoor / outdoor) to your order when buying a plant and pot together and our expert team will deliver your plant potted (plants over 200cm assembled on site).

Indoor plants will be potted with a liner and in-built water reservoir and a decorative toping of your choice, giving a professional finish. Please note potted plants require careful watering.

Our outdoor potting service includes the soil and a decorative topping.

The service is only available for combining plants and pots purchased from us.
