By the nature of their composition the walls of “Pebble” pots are very absorbent – more so than traditional terracotta pots therefore happy roots will slowly drink, or excess moisture will evaporate from the outside of the pot.
Patience is key, nothing happens fast, we generally recommend plant care and watering is generally similar to usual pot/container gardening.
Top Planting Tips
Pebble pots make an ideal home for all dry loving plants such as Alpines, Sedum, Sempervivum, Cactus and Bonsai. However we love the flexibility of being able to plant all sorts of fabulous plant varieties, annuals and herbs so with this in mind all our pots leave our workshop with the PH levels carefully rebalanced and all ready to allow you to unleash your planting container creativity 🪴
Drainage holes
Since porosity is high, there is generally no need for drainage holes; if desired these can easily be carefully drilled using a suitable drill.
Usage
Your Pebble pot is ideal for outside use, is very strong and can withstand temperatures down to -15 degrees, hence no cracking after a bitterly cold winter. If placed outside they age gracefully and look charming with creeping moss and lichen.
Indoor Use
They look fantastic indoors in garden rooms and orangeries however due to high porosity must ALWAYS be placed on a saucer to protect the surface they sit on.
Sustainability is Vitally important
My Pebble pieces aim to be 100% recyclable and are created using upcycled and reusable materials.
