About the marble pot
The marble pot is a small pot cut from natural marble, polished to a smooth, glossy surface. It is offered in black and in white, and it holds a single air plant.
Marble is a timeless material. A black marble pot with a silver plant, or a white one with a green plant, fits any setting from traditional to modern. The pot itself is an object worth keeping.
Because it is natural stone, the veining differs from pot to pot, and no two are identical. The polished finish is glossy and easy to wipe clean.
At $2.50 the marble pot is priced to be a stock item rather than a special. Stone is heavy, so large orders may carry additional shipping, billed separately.
For a shop this is the pot for the customer who wants something that looks expensive. The weight and the polish signal quality. The plant inside costs a fraction of what the finished piece sells for.
Using the marble pot with air plants
Marble holds neither water nor air, so treat the pot as a dry holder. Set the plant in loose, lift it out to soak, shake it, let it dry completely and return it. Water left in the bottom of a stone pot has nowhere to go. A plant with a slim base sits in the cavity, and a small rosette can rest on the rim. The weight of the pot keeps even a lopsided plant upright. Keep it in bright light and away from cold windowsills in winter. Stone chills, and a wet plant against cold stone can mark.
- Fits: One small to medium plant: ionantha, harrisii, stricta, small caput-medusae.
- Mounting: Set in loose. No glue.
- Watering: Remove to soak. Return only when dry.
- Feeding: Feed monthly with diluted TillyBoost Fertilizer during the soak.
- Placement: Bright light on a desk or counter.
- Care of the pot: Wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid acidic cleaners on marble.
