FAQs

Can I plant directly into this pot?

No, it is strongly recommended not to plant directly into the pot as it does not have a drainage hole. Water can collect and damage the papier-mâché. Use a plastic pot insert or a waterproof bag.

Is this planter suitable for outdoor use?

No, the Construct Flower-pot holders are strictly for indoor use only.

How should I clean the planter?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth for dusting. For light cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring the material does not become saturated. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What are the dimensions of the planter?

The dimensions are approximately Ø 50 cm in diameter and 47 cm in height.

What materials is the planter made from?

The planter is made from papier-mâché, which is a material composed of paper pulp or strips of paper, often using recycled paper.

Does the planter have a drainage hole?

No, this planter does not have an opening at the bottom for water drainage.

Who designed this planter?

The planter is designed by Marie Michielssen.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the material

Ensure a fully waterproof liner or inner pot is used. Double-check that the liner is correctly positioned and sealed if necessary. Avoid overwatering the plant.

Surface marks or dirt

Lightly dust with a dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a barely damp cloth and wipe gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Pot feels unstable

Ensure the pot is placed on a flat, stable surface. If using an inner pot, make sure it fits securely within the papier-mâché planter without causing imbalance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Unique, handcrafted aesthetic that serves as a decorative art piece.
Highlights the beauty of raw, textured materials and artisanal techniques.
Substantial size makes a statement in interior design.
Eco-conscious material choice (recycled paper).

Cons

Not suitable for direct outdoor use.
Lacks a drainage hole, requiring careful plant management to prevent waterlogging.
The rough texture may be prone to snagging delicate fabrics.
Requires specific planting methods (e.g., using a plastic pot insert) to protect the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place the planter pot in your desired indoor location.

Compatibility: This planter is designed exclusively for indoor use. It is not suitable for direct planting due to the absence of a drainage hole. To accommodate plants, use a plastic pot with a saucer or a sturdy plastic bag inside the planter to hold the plant and soil. Ensure the inner pot or liner fits snugly to avoid excessive movement.

Care: Gently dust the planter with a soft, dry cloth. For minor smudges, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid saturating the material. It is crucial to prevent prolonged exposure to moisture. If using it with plants, always ensure there is a barrier between the soil and the papier-mâché. Keep away from direct heat sources or prolonged direct sunlight, which could affect the material over time.
