Drainage: Traditional indoor plant pots have drainage holes and stand in saucers to allow excess water to drain freely. Tall Planters: Fill the base of the planter with polystyrene foam or other packaging material that will not compress, up to the required height, then sit the plant liner on top with the repotted plant in the liner. For modern decorative plant pots without drainage holes the grow pot could be stood inside the pot on a saucer, or in a pot liner for extra protection. Hydroculture plants - These require a hydro kit for assembly, this includes a waterproof pot liner with a base wide enough to accommodate the hydroculture grow pot.

Please note all measurements are approximate and can vary slightly due to the handmade nature of our pots. The grow pot height is standardised (normally 12cm or 19cm) and shown on the size option for each hydroculture plant. This ensures the root system is surrounded in optimum moisture content rather than it draining to the bottom beyond the roots. This means the diameter of the grow pot at the top of rim x the total height of the plant including the grow pot. Liners can also be cut down to size with scissors for a neater fit if they bulge inwards slightly at the top.
Ensure the external height of your decorative pot is at least 2-3cm higher than the grow pot height of the hydroculture plant. Note: Liners are "squashy" so they can be pushed through the opening to expand and fit closer to the pot wall once inside. Artstone planters include a non-removable water reservoir, which raises the internal base height of the planter. The size tip provided for each hydroculture plant provides a recommended size for the external diameter of the decorative pots that will accommodate the specified waterproof liner. For plants in soil the key size in determining the maturity and fullness of a plant is the diameter of the grow pot.

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. Soil plants - The height of the grow pot can vary slightly, but is usually slightly smaller or the same as its diameter.
If the intention is to leave the plant in its grow pot and sit it directly into the Artstone planter rather than re-potting the plant directly into the planter, please ensure you select a large enough size that will have enough internal height to hide the grow pot. Check your planter will be tall enough to hide the grow pot if you are not re-potting directly into the planter. 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. Hydroculture plant roots have been specially adapted to grow in hydrogranules, which creates a smaller, more fleshy and hardier root system. 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 roots above the granules will pull the water gently out of the granules (capillary action) to keep them moist but not wet. With its stunning embossed leaf design and vibrant teal blue shiny glaze, the Arles is a great way to bring even more natural style to your favourite houseplants. These planters work best with the plant re-potted directly into them rather than left in their grow pots. Liners come in various sizes to fit the internal dimensions of the pot and can be trimmed down to size to create an unobtrusive barrier for the plant and soil to be potted into, whilst protecting the pot from unsightly calcium or fertiliser deposits from the soil.
For 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. 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. Important: The opening measurement of the decorative pot is the size of the access hole for inserting the plant's grow pot as well as an indication of the minimum liner size needed. 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).

The soil should not be so shallow that without drainage the roots will sit in water, nor so deep that the water drains below the roots leaving the plant to dry out. To keep pots looking pristine and avoiding damage to floors and furnishings the solution is to include a flexible liner inside the pot. In taller planters they allow for the soil to be contained to an appropriate depth for the plant, without needing to fill the entire vessel with soil. For round shaped decorative pots we provide the external diameter of the widest point so you get a sense of how large the pot is on the outside, as well as the width of the opening. These plant pots are not guaranteed 100% watertight: use a waterproof liner to protect against moisture damage.
Liners: Modern pots and planters come in all types of materials from ceramic, natural, composite, metal and fibreglass to create that wow factor in their setting. Tip: Pick a decorative pot that has an opening about 1cm larger than the size of the plant's grow pot. Alternatively, for a professional design look, the plant can be repotted directly into a pot liner with a layer of hydrogranules to provide both a drainage layer and a reservoir for the plant.
