Eichholtz Hortus Planter

Yes, the planter is crafted from durable stainless steel, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, to maintain the antique bronze finish over time, we recommend placing it in a sheltered area or bringing it indoors during extreme weather conditions.

The Hortus Planter is designed as a standard decorative pot and does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. If you plan to plant directly into it, you may want to add a layer of gravel at the base or use a nursery liner to manage moisture.

To preserve the finish, simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the aged patina and the protective coating on the stainless steel.

The planter weighs approximately 14.46 lbs. While it has a substantial presence, it is relatively lightweight for its size; if you are placing it in a high-wind area, you may want to add weight to the bottom using stones or a heavy internal pot.

The Hortus Planter is highly versatile. Its repeating ring pattern and antique bronze finish bridge the gap between industrial and modern aesthetics, making it an excellent statement piece for minimalist, rustic, or eclectic home interiors.
