Lathrrop Black Planter, Set of 3

These planters feature a sophisticated "caged" open-work design rather than a solid basin. This makes them ideal "cachepots" or decorative holders. For the best results and to protect the bamboo, we recommend keeping your plants in their plastic nursery or drainage pots and nesting them inside the round tops. This allows for effortless watering and prevents soil and moisture from sitting directly against the frame.

The open caged details are more than just a Boho-style statement; they are highly functional for high-heat environments. In regions with intense summer sun, such as Texas, this design allows for maximum airflow around the plant's root system. This increased circulation helps prevent the roots from overheating, which can occur in solid, non-porous pots, effectively helping your greenery stay cooler during the afternoon heat.

Yes, these planters can be used in coastal climates, but natural materials require specific care in high humidity. To prevent moisture buildup, it is best to place these in a well-ventilated area such as a screened-in porch or lanai. Regularly wiping the black-finished bamboo with a soft, dry cloth will help maintain its luster and prevent the effects of salt air and moisture over time.

Customer assembly is required for this set. The process involves securing the angled legs to the round planter tops. We provide straightforward instructions to ensure the structural integrity of the tripod base, which is essential for supporting the weight of your favorite indoor or outdoor plants.

Bamboo is an excellent material for outdoor accessories due to its natural strength and impressive strength-to-weight ratio. These planters are crafted to be sturdy yet lightweight, allowing you to easily reposition them on a patio or deck. To preserve the deep black finish and the integrity of the natural fibers, we recommend placing them in a covered outdoor area or using a protective furniture cover during extreme weather, as suggested in our general outdoor care guidelines.

With a footprint of 15"w x 15"d, this set of three is perfectly scaled for urban apartment living or smaller balcony layouts. The tripod-style angled legs provide a stable base; however, because bamboo is naturally lightweight, we suggest placing heavier ceramic or stone pots inside the holders if you live in a high-wind area to ensure they remain securely grounded.
