Terrazzo planters offer a smooth style with practical sturdiness
Terrazzo is made from a traditional mixture of cement, granite and marble, sanded to a smooth finish. Planters made from this material offer supreme sturdiness and a stylish, contemporary look.
Solid and sleek
Terrazzo planters are perfect for non-hanging indoor plants and can add a touch of class to any furniture arrangement. Terrazzo’s sleek lines and solidly weighted forms are a perfect complement to many modern furniture styles.
All kinds of plants look perfectly at home in a terrazzo planter as the minutely textured surfaces are a good match for the organic form of plants and their foliage.
The relatively simple manufacturing process means that terrazzo planters are available in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Terrazzo is easily formed into smooth cubed vessels, regular round pots and large, sturdy fixture basins, allowing for any number of plants in whatever mix of tall grasses, perennially flowering plants, small trees or bushes you prefer.
In extreme weather and wintry months, terrazzo planters are typically covered or brought indoors. Simple care like this can protect their finish and internal structure from cracking in a bad frost or cold spell.
Moving advice
There’s no question that terrazzo is a top choice when it comes to both good drainage and heavy usage in high traffic areas. Unfortunately, larger planters can become rather heavy when loaded down with your own personal version of biological paradise. In order to make transportation and feng shui-style rearrangement easier, consider buying your deep terrazzo planters along with large, shallow basins or trays that can easily be shifted.
