Overview

Sculptural geometry that turns a single plant into a statement. The Geo Bowl's faceted, terrazzo-finish silhouette sits low and wide — the perfect stage for succulents, groundcovers, strappy greenery and seasonal colour on a patio, balcony or entryway.

Crafted from a fibre-clay composite — magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride reinforced with fibreglass — the Geo Bowl is UV-stable and weatherproof, yet remarkably lightweight. That makes it an easy fit for a balcony, courtyard, entryway or any indoor–outdoor space, and simple to lift and reposition whenever the mood strikes. A drainage plug is included, so you can plant directly or use it as a cache pot.

Choose Your Size

• Small — 6 L: 30 × 15 cm (W × H). Fits a plant up to a 200 mm nursery pot. Around 1 bag of potting mix to fill.
• Medium — 16 L: 41 × 20 cm (W × H). Fits a plant up to a 300 mm nursery pot. Around 1 bag of potting mix to fill.
• Large — 38 L: 54 × 26 cm (W × H). Fits a plant up to a 400 mm nursery pot. Around 1–2 bags of potting mix to fill.

Being a shallow bowl, the Geo suits succulents, groundcovers, grasses and colour rather than deep-rooted shrubs. Tip: pick a bowl whose opening is a little wider than your plant's nursery pot, so there's room for fresh mix around the roots.

Sealing & Care

Fibre-clay is naturally porous, so it is worth brushing a pot and ornamental sealer around the inside of the pot before you plant. It forms a waterproof barrier that stops moisture and fertiliser salts wicking out through the wall — the cause of the pale tide marks and chalky white bloom you see on older pots — and it adds years to the life of the pot.

Sealers are water-based and brush on like paint; most hardware stores carry one. Coat the inside walls and the base, let it cure as directed, then plant as normal. It is worth the extra half hour on any pot going indoors, onto a deck, or onto paving where a damp ring would show — and together with the drainage plug supplied, it is what lets you use these inside without marking the floor.

Painting & Colour Matching

The speckle is the whole point of this finish, so most people leave it as it is.

If none of the colourways quite matches your render or trim, fibre-clay takes an exterior-grade acrylic spray paint well, so you can match a colour scheme exactly rather than settling for close enough.

How to do it: no primer needed — the fibre-clay surface takes paint straight. Wipe the pot down, let it dry completely, then build up two or three light coats rather than one heavy one. A clear exterior sealer over the top is optional, but worth it: the pot’s own finish is UV stable, and paint over it won’t be.

Paint the outside only — the inside wants a pot and ornamental sealer instead, as above. And do bear in mind that painting is an alteration, so the 12-month warranty won’t cover damage caused by it. Done properly it is a half-hour job that gets you a pot in a colour nobody else has.

Why You'll Love It

It's the rare pot that does the decorating for you: one sculptural bowl, one well-chosen plant, and a balcony or entryway suddenly looks considered. Light enough to restyle on a whim, tough enough to live outdoors year-round, and finished to look far more expensive than it is.
