Two of our most popular ranges, two very different strengths. Hand-cast concrete and lightweight Japi planters both look beautiful, but they suit very different spaces. Here is how to choose.
Concrete pots: solid, timeless, built to stay
Concrete is the classic for good reason. That weight means real stability, which matters for tall or top-heavy plants and windy spots, and the hand-finished look only gets better with age. Concrete pots are extremely durable outdoors and make natural anchors for a space. They are ideal for ground-level gardens, patios, entrances, permanent statement pieces and water features. The one thing to plan for is weight: decide where a big concrete pot is going before you fill it, because it is not something you will want to shuffle around afterwards.
Lightweight Japi pots: the look, minus the load
Our Japi range gives you the modern look of concrete and stone at a fraction of the weight. They are easy to lift and rearrange, UV and weather resistant, and gentle on tiled floors and timber decks. That makes them the smart choice for balconies, rooftops, upstairs rooms, indoors, and for anyone who likes to move things around or rents their home. For a very tall plant outdoors in wind, simply add a few stones to the base for extra stability.
A quick decision guide
Going upstairs or onto a balcony? Choose lightweight. Holding a tree or a big statement plant at ground level? Choose concrete. Like to redecorate and rearrange often? Lightweight. Want a permanent anchor or a water feature? Concrete. It really can be that simple.
You do not have to choose just one
Most beautiful gardens mix the two: solid concrete pots anchoring the ground and entrance, lightweight planters up on the balcony and indoors. Browse our concrete pots and lightweight range, or visit a store to feel the difference in weight for yourself before you decide.
