Ivyline Artstone 102153 Pot 32x29cm - Claire Grey

Absolutely love this pot. No need to worry about root rot anymore with its clever design. It has an inch gap at the bottom with optional drainage plug. In case you over water your beloved plants. Plus if you want to you can let it drink from the bottom up when you do. It feels like concrete, not plastic cheap rubbish. Looks great and for the price you can't possibly say no. It comes in many sizes and colours so if you often buy pots you can keep a theme going.The best thing is the over watering idea. No more root rot.It's not terracotta or clay, but sure is sturdy. It's holding my 70cm slender cactus cutting just fine and I know I can't over water it. Hobby getting easier. Found the right pot. Finally!!Ps excuse the mess, was eager to get a picture on here. A week has passed and I've now watered the cactus. Drained well. When I the pot gets wet it looks like it could be clay. Nice. Love the sandstone material it's made from. Noticed they go up to like a 47cm pot too. Ceramics or terracotta of this size are well expensive but this modern technology a fraction of that cost. I couldn't be more happy with this plant pot / company.

I use several of these for conservatory plants. They look and feel ceramic but with the lightness and resilience of a plastic/stone composite. They do not need an inner pot, as some have suggested. There is a clever insert above the base with small slots that let the water, but not the compost, through. This forms a reservoir of water like a pot saucer might. This has a rubber bung that I remove to prevent accidental water logging. This way, the reservoir fills to the top but then drains. If you water too much you will need a tray to catch the overflow if you have removed the bung. The insert can be removed from an empty pot for cleaning. I hold the empty pot upside down and drop it gently onto a hard surface and his usually dislodges a reluctant insert. Sounds complex, perhaps, but easy in practice. I will buy more.

Look good. Easy to use and could convince yourself that they look like stone. Good delivery time from EU. Prices seem to fluctuate but fine if you are not in a hurry and can monitor the price or if you are flexible on size

These pots are 29.5cm high, 32cm diameter at the top, and 20cm diameter at the bottom. The material they are made of is about 8mm thick, so deduct that if you wish to know the how big the inside of this pot is.I give these dimensions as the exact dimensions are not mention on the product description page in a meaningful way.They are made of some form of plastic or resin material that claims to be recyclable according to the stickers on them. This claim I can not confirm nor deny.They are light-weight for their size. The look is as-per the image currently used, with a grey almost organic look that is unique to each pot.I bought two pots. Each pot is different in appearance, but the same in dimensions. They have a "water reservoir" at the bottom with the option to remove a drain plug to allow excess water to drain away, or leave the plug in and let the pot fill with water.The idea is that you can water the plant/pot and keep a small "reservoir" of water at the bottom of the pot (remove the plug) allowing excess water to drain away, or water it till the pot overflows, and the plant drowns (plug not removed.)If using this pot to hold an already potted plant in a separate pot leave the drain plug in place, and let it drink of the water saved for it.If using this pot as a pot for it's own plant remove the plug, and let the pot drain.P.S.Bought 3 more in June 2014.

I was more pleased with this plant pot than I expected to be as I'm usually wary of anything other than earthenware.It looks though, like a fine earthenware and has an eggshell like finish [I bought the white one].The seller is very accurate with the dimensions and the diameter dimension is that of the top, rather than the base, which is how it looks in the picture so it is a beautifully proportioned pot.[Plant pots are traditionally measured by the diameter of the base]There is a nice drainage unit in the bottom of the pot.Seller dispatched quickly and tracking provided for the parcel.

We have gradually been changing all our pots to these. they look good, come in decent sizes when available, and the reservoir is a nice little feature both for dry spells and when you forget or can't water them.This and the others we have all lasted well through winter too, with all plants coming through the other side with no issues.So for me, a good pot that I like the look of.

This plant pot is of good size and of good quality. The colour is arracuately white and does look plastic upon inspection. The rubber bung on the base of the pot is designed to be removed to release water from the self watering chamber in the event of over watering or downpour. I tested this with a pot full of water (no soil) but unfortunately it didnt release any water at all from the base.

Sieht klasse aus im Beton Look- mit extra wasserdepot und wasserstandsanzeiger.

Wir haben seit Jahren Pflanzkästen und -gefäße in diversen Größen von Artstone im Einsatz. Einige davon stehen seit 9 Jahren völlig unbeeindruckt im Freien. Für unsere Naschallee mit Erdbeeren brauchten wir neue Pflanzgefäße und auf Grund der sehr guten Vorerfahrungen haben wir direkt 4 der Gefäße geordert.Die Lieferung der 4 Pflanzgefäße erfolgte in 4 separaten Versandkartons. Die 4 Gefäße lagen jeweils ohne weitere schützende Verpackung darin, waren aber vollkommen unbeschädigt. Die Farbe wird als Schwarz angegeben. Es handelt sich aber wir bei Artstone üblich, um ein dunkles Grau. Zur Farbe kommt noch eine optisch gut sichtbare Marmorierung.Das Gefäß hat einen Durchmesser von 22cm bei einer Höhe von 20cm. Das Fassungsvolumen beträgt ca. 3,5l. Ein herausnehmbarer Einsatz dient zur schnellen und einfachen Einrichtung einer Drainage. Überflüssiges Wasser kann durch ein Loch im Boden abfließen, sofern der Gummistopfen herausgenommen wurde.Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Die Schlierenoptik auf der Oberfläche ist gewollt, wie bei allen Artstone-Produkten. Grate oder Reste von der Produktion finden sich nur auf den Außenseite des Bodens. Die Herstellung erfolgte in Malaysia (laut Bodenstempel).In Summe sehr schicke und robuste Pflanzgefäße.

Ho acquistato alcuni vasi Artstone e li trovo ottimi, sia dal punto di vista estetico, sia per l'intelligente sistema di drenaggio e accumulo acqua sul fondo. Consigliati, anche per la vasta scelta di forme e colori.

O vaso é muito bonito e forte.

Bello da vedere e funzionale con la camera sotto che raccoglie l’acqua e funziona da riserva.
