Make yours
Open this pot in the editor and change it.
Move the diameter, the height, the wall, the flutes, the drainage holes, tray and feet, and what comes out is a file and a code you send us. The link carries PP-ST-140 with it, so the drawing you started from comes back with the order. 5 to 8 days from the moment a size is agreed.

What it suits
Suits
- Sansevieria
- Zamioculcas
- Dracaena
- Ficus elastica
- Aloe and larger succulents
- Most things sold as easy that are actually just drought tolerant
Not for
- Shallow-rooted rosettes that will look marooned in it
- Bulbs planted in groups, which want the width
- Phalaenopsis and other epiphytes, which want an orchid pot instead
If the plant you are potting is wider than it is tall, the Pan Pot 200 is the half of the pair drawn for it.
Drawn for Aroids, Cacti, Succulents, Alocasia and Monstera, and each of those pages says why this shape and not another.
Why it is that shape
After a pot drains there is a saturated layer at the bottom in which every pore is full of water. Its depth is a property of the mix, not of the pot, so it is roughly the same 30 mm in this pot as in a shallow one. In a 172 mm column that is 17 percent of the root zone drowned. This is the pot for anything that resents wet feet, and it is why the number in the catalogue is a height rather than a litreage.
Looking after it
Water until it runs out of the base, then empty the saucer. A saucer left full refills the pot's large pores from below, and those large pores are the only ones that ever hold air. The ribs keep the base clear of a small spill; they will not save a pot standing in 20 mm of water.
Pigments fade under sustained sunlight.
Drainage through the pot itself
Round holes pass through the main pot floor. Short feet lift it above a separate catch tray, included by default. Plant directly into the shell; there is no liner or liner holder.
