Caistor Teal Planter

Yes, the Caistor planter is designed for complete versatility. It is finished to be displayed on a porch, patio, or entryway, but its contemporary aesthetic also makes it a sophisticated choice for indoor spaces. It features built-in drainage holes, which are essential for outdoor plant health while allowing for easy use with a liner if placed inside.

The fire glaze on this planter provides more than just a vibrant pop of color; it creates a durable, protective barrier for the ceramic material. Based on our expertise with outdoor accents, a glazed finish is highly effective at resisting moisture and UV exposure, ensuring the solid teal color remains bright and the surface remains easy to clean even after seasons of use.

With dimensions of 18"W x 18"D x 15"H, this medium-sized planter is perfectly scaled for framing a front door or adding vertical interest to a porch corner. Its modern round silhouette offers enough volume for significant root growth for shrubs or floral arrangements without overwhelming smaller transition spaces like an apartment balcony or a suburban entryway.

While designed for outdoor durability, ceramic can be susceptible to damage during extreme freeze-thaw cycles if water trapped in the soil expands. To preserve the integrity of the fire glaze and prevent cracking, our care guidelines recommend bringing the planter into a garage or sheltered area during periods of a hard freeze.

Glazed ceramic is an excellent material choice for humid or coastal regions like Florida or the Gulf Coast. The non-porous fire glaze protects the planter from the effects of salt air and high humidity, which can often cause other materials to corrode or warp. To maintain its glossy finish, we recommend a simple routine of wiping the surface with mild soap and water to remove salt or dust buildup.

This planter is equipped with pre-drilled drainage holes. Proper drainage is critical for preventing root rot by allowing excess water to escape the soil. This is a vital feature for outdoor containers in rainy climates, ensuring your plants remain healthy and vibrant.
