Blue Lagoon Ceramic Planter

Place the Blue Lagoon ceramic planter in a spot protected from impacts and extreme temperatures to preserve the integrity of its glaze.

It fits into any room: living room, bedroom, office, or bathroom. However, avoid placing it outdoors, as significant temperature fluctuations between freezing and heat can weaken the glazed ceramic.

Indoors, it looks just as good near a bright window as in a more discreet corner. Its deep blue shade harmonizes particularly well with plants with bright green foliage such as Monsteras, Philodendrons, or Pilea.

Important tip 🌿Avoid placing the planter directly on parquet flooring or a delicate piece of furniture without protection. Felt or a saucer effectively protects your furniture from potential moisture marks.For rooms with low light, our full-spectrum grow light faithfully mimics natural light, without harmful UV rays.

The Blue Lagoon ceramic planter is a decorative accessory made of glazed ceramic, non-toxic to cats, dogs, and young children.

The glazed ceramic used for this planter does not contain harmful volatile chemical compounds. The glaze is fired at a high temperature, making it inert and stable once cooled.

Like any ceramic object, its main source of danger remains its mechanical fragility: a shock can break it and create sharp shards. It is therefore preferable to place it out of reach of young children and animals who could knock it over.

What precautions to take on a daily basis?

Position the planter on a stable and flat surface, away from the play areas of young children or the most turbulent animals.

Overall, the Blue Lagoon ceramic planter coexists perfectly with animals and children as long as it is placed in a safe location.

The glaze on the Blue Lagoon ceramic planter most often becomes dull or marked due to limescale in the water, unsuitable cleaning products, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

• If the glaze has whitish deposits, the problem is generally caused by limescale from the watering water that has settled on the surface during runoff.
• If the surface appears scratched or dull, the problem often stems from the use of abrasive sponges or overly harsh household products during cleaning.
• If the blue color appears faded or uneven, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may be the cause, as UV rays can alter the pigments in the glaze over time.

The Blue Lagoon ceramic planter has a glaze tinted throughout, which gives it good resistance to surface marks, but gentle care is still necessary to preserve its full shine.

Important tip 🌿One or two small marks after use are completely normal.However, you should act quickly if limescale deposits build up or if deep scratches appear.

To remove limescale marks without damaging the glaze, our anti-limescale microfiber gloves are ideal for gentle and effective cleaning.

The Blue Lagoon ceramic planter should ideally be cleaned once a month, or as soon as limescale deposits or traces of moisture appear on the enamel.

A thorough cleaning is necessary when:

• white limescale deposits are visible on the surface,
• a damp smell develops at the bottom of the planter,
• or the surface has lost its initial shine.

As a general rule, light monthly maintenance and a more thorough quarterly cleaning are sufficient to keep the planter in perfect condition.

Thanks to its smooth, dense enamel, the Blue Lagoon ceramic planter is highly stain-resistant and easy to clean without the need for special products.

Use a damp soft cloth or our clear perforated pots to inspect the roots after repotting if you wish to transfer your plant to a growing pot before placing it in the planter. We also recommend our premium substrates made in France, designed for drainage, aeration, and healthy growth, if you wish to plant directly in the planter.

1. Carefully remove the plant and its growing pot from the planter.
2. Rinse the inside of the planter with warm water and wipe with a soft cloth.
3. Allow it to dry completely before replacing the plant.

Important tip 🌿After acquiring your planter, wait 2 to 3 weeks before permanently pairing it with a newly received plant, allowing the plant time to acclimate to its new environment. Regular cleaning is sufficient to preserve the enamel's shine over time.

The Blue Lagoon ceramic planter is ideally showcased with plants featuring deep green foliage or graphic textures, creating a striking visual contrast with the blue glaze.

The most successful combinations highlight the complementarity of colors and shapes.

Plants that particularly enhance this planter:

• bright green foliage for maximum contrast with the blue,
• graphic or cut-out shapes to play with textures,
• and trailing plants to dress the edges of the planter.

The deep blue of the Blue Lagoon planter harmonizes particularly well with Monsteras, Philodendrons, and Pilea, whose bright green creates a natural visual balance.

👉 To nourish your plants and maintain beautiful foliage, we recommend our concentrated liquid fertilizer for tropical plants, easy to dose, with quickly visible results.

Important tip 🌿Avoid planting directly in the planter without a drainage layer, as this could promote water stagnation and harm the roots. Always use an inner plant pot or a thick layer of clay pebbles.

Watering a plant in the Blue Lagoon ceramic cache-pot requires special care, as this cache-pot does not have a drainage hole: excess water accumulates at the bottom and can drown the roots.

How to know when to water?

The finger test remains the most reliable method: push your index finger 2 to 3 cm into the substrate. If the substrate is dry, it's time to water.

Thanks to the absence of a drainage hole, the Blue Lagoon ceramic cache-pot retains moisture longer than a regular pot, which means you need to space out waterings more to avoid any excess water at the bottom.

Important tip: If in doubt, wait rather than watering. Plants tolerate a lack of water better than an excess, which rots the roots.

The Blue Lagoon ceramic planter is ideal for a standard nursery pot with dimensions slightly smaller than those of the planter, allowing for easy insertion and removal.

How to choose the right indoor nursery potMeasure the inner diameter of your planter and choose a nursery pot 1 to 2 cm smaller. A pot with drainage holes ensures proper moisture management. Use our straight-tip stainless steel pruning shears to neatly trim excess roots before placing the plant in its new pot.

1. Measure the inner diameter of the planter and choose a suitable nursery pot.
2. Place the nursery pot inside our clear propagation pots if you wish to monitor root development.
3. Place a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom of the planter to absorb any excess water.

For recently propagated plants, use our live sphagnum moss as a rooting medium before transplanting into our all-purpose potting mix enriched with essential components.

Important tip 🌿A well-fitting nursery pot makes plant care easier and protects the planter from excess moisture. Regularly check that no water is pooling at the bottom of the planter.
