Fox & Fern 12" & 14.6" Large Planters (Set of 2) — Premium Lightweight Fiberstone Matte White Plant Pots with Drainage Plug; Extra Large Planters for Indoor & Outdoor; Weather Resistant & UV Resistant

First, I'll give credit to the company for attempting to make my initial order of 2 pots right with replacements for both. Communication lagged a few times and they hesitated over whether one problem warranted a replacement, but they did ultimately send 2 new pots. (They'd asked me to ship the first 2 pots back, but never sent the promised shipping label.) Alas, I've had problems with all 4 pots and consider this a failed experiment.Summary set of recommendations for those that want to skip my review and try the pots regardless: First, I'd rinse them out with some warm water and scrub all inside surfaces as well as the outside bottom surface with a stiff nylon brush or similar to clean out the overspray and any loose pieces of fiberglass. (Be careful not to scrape your hand when inside the pot, as my pots did have some sharper bits of fiberglass sticking out.) Second, seat the drain plugs firmly and fill the pots full of water to test them *before* you consider putting plants in them! Check that no water is coming through the fiberglass itself as well as around the plugs. In fact, I'd consider sealing the plugs with caulk on the inside of the pot unless you truly think you'll need to remove the plugs at some point.Details of my experience: Of the first two pots, 1 had a crack in the rim, and the other had various spots on the matte finish that had been rubbed enough to become glossy. Not hideously glaring, but enough that I noticed it fairly easily. There was also a run in the finish and a few other defects in the surface. I set these pots off to the side, merely dropping in my 2 plants within their original garden center containers while I waited for the replacements.Replacements arrived, and while there were no cracks this time, both pots had additional rub spots that had gone glossy as with the one initial pot. (I think this was actually the result of overpacking them tightly in their boxes. The attempt to prevent the problem by adding more packing in a limited size box only increased the rubbing during shipping.) Disappointed, I didn't have the will to deal with the problems a second time, and ended up letting too much time pass to recontact the company. So I decided that I'd at last try to properly plant two Chinese Evergreens in the second set of two pots and just not look at them too closely. Unfortunately, I found out after planting that one of the drain plugs didn't seal tight, and water leaked out of the bottom. Despite attempts to seal it with various waterproof sealing tapes I also ordered off of Amazon, I could only slow down the leak, rather than eliminate it. I'm going to have to uproot the plants into another container at some point, which will be a hassle given the volume of dirt these planters hold. I've had the leaking container sitting on my kitchen table hanging over the edge and dripping onto a plate for a week, at which point the flow finally stopped.In the meantime, I took the original set of two pots and decided to try sealing the drain plug on the inside of the pot with some clear silicone caulk. Having been bitten previously, I filled the first of these pots full of water as a test, and... the sealed plug holds, but the water is actually leaking *through* the fiberglass in one spot. (See final image.) At this point, I'm officially done and my $120 investment in two pots has left me with 4 pots that I'm going to have to recycle at a complete loss, coupled with an additional $20 spent on sealing tape and caulk. (I could try to seal the leak point with more caulk, but I've now lost confidence in the pots, given that I had planned to put them directly on my carpet and can't risk any leaks at all.)Given the above, I can't recommend these pots.

These pots are really attractive, especially when paired with the mid-century wooden stands. They appear sturdy and provide a beautiful frame for one's houseplants.Unfortunately, that is all I can say for the pros.After having lived with these for a few months, I can say that they are on the low end of a good value. The containers are basically fiberglass with a thin "stone" veneer. After receiving these, I thought it was genius. Looks substantial and is light weight. What's not to like?Well, I made the unfortunate and uninformed (on me) decision to pot my plants directly into the pots instead of using them as a decorative container for the ugly plastic containers in which most plants are sold. When more misfortune (mold gnat infestation) struck and it became necessary to repot my plants, the quality of the containers became an issue. Aside from being nearly impossible to remove the plants from the pots due to the rough interior and rimmed edge, the bottoms had some spider cracks and a fair amount of give to them which I can only assume is from water damage. Additionally, they did not clean up well from the potting soil getting all over the outside during my struggle to remove the infested plants. A Mr. Clean scrubbing pad removed most of the dirt and also left "reminders" that the finish is now less-than uniform.So, all-in-all, a nice idea from what I assume is a small business and I am all about supporting that.They are, however, more form-over-function and priced accordingly. Be careful and cognizant of what you will be using them for and you will probably enjoy them.

The pot is beautiful, but it should be made clear in the description that the circumference of the lip of the pot is only 8.5 inches. My plant is 9.5 inches wide, so bought the 10 inch pot, but it does not fit past the lip of the pot. Disappointing.

The Fox & Fern pot looks great but is not practical, especially if you want healthy, happy plants. I planted a fiddle leaf fig tree in my pot and got root rot quickly due to the poor drainage in the pot. The pot does have a drain plug but since Fox and Fern doesn't make a drain saucer it's pretty useless as I have to take the pot outside so it can drip without damaging the floor when watering the plant. It's a pain in the rear. Even with the drain plug removed, the hole is not located at the lowest point of the pot so water will still pool and not fully drain.Given that I got root rot in my plant I needed to repot it and that too became an unnecessarily difficult task thanks to the Fox & Fern pot design. The top of the pot has a pronounced lip that overhangs on the inside of the pot making it really tricky to remove your plant without roughing up the root ball.All in all the pot looks great but doesn't work well and harmed the health of my tree. I ended up ditching their pot and using a different white pot with better drainage and no lip for use in my Fox & Fern wooden stand. For $55 Fox & Fern's pot should not have these issues. Hopefully my tree recovers in its new pot.

Every time I pick up or slide this planter I brace for a deadlift but this planter is refreshingly light-weight, which is not to say flimsy. Thanks to the fiberglass construction it has the same glossy finish, durability, and light weight of a modern car bumper or body panel. I have two slightly larger, glazed white planters from Ikea that are ceramic and they weigh a relative ton compared to this Fox & Fern planter.I took off one star because as you can see from the picture they come up a bit short, literally. We dropped our new fiddle leaf fig into the pot and the basic, garden variety (pun!) 10" black plastic planter/line the fig came in is taller than the Fox & Fern. Now we either need to repot the fiddle leaf fig into the planter or trim 1" off the top of the black planter/liner. The height (~9-1/2") feels slight. For the price.Otherwise we love how it looks.

Really decent offering of a mid century plant pot at a good price. Been looking for ages for one I liked!Be warned that the advertised diameter is 28cm, but the lip brings the opening to 24cm. The lip is just a lip though, so if you're using an inner pot, and its a plastic one, you can squeeze it past the lip with a bit of fiddling.

This is my third purchase of variously sized Fox & Fern plant pots and stands. The 20 cm plant pot is really well made, lightweight, and I like that there is an optional drainage hole (i.e., you can leave the plug in or take it out for drainage) in the pot. I also like the versatility with the plant stand, meaning that you can have it lower or higher depending on which way you flip it. Moreover, for shipping purposes, it's great that the plant stand ships in a flat box so you can assemble it at home. The plant pot is shipped in a separate box and is always well packed. I would highly recommend any of the Fox & Fern products, I am always happy with the results -- and will be back for more!

This is a beautiful product. Worth every penny. Classy, stylish, super quality. I’m delighted. I’m doing up a room at the moment and this will be a key feature once complete. The stand is gorgeous too. Both items from Fox & Fern. I’ll buy from them again.

Love Fox & Fern pots. Unfortunately, they didn'thave the bamboo stand available online when I ordered my pot but hopefully will get one in the future when they are available again. Pot is really well made and super light weight (making moving plant for watering it etc so much easier). There's a single draingage hole with plug in the bottom of the pot, but I use it as as "outer pot" to hide the ugly plastic one underneath and collect any water/soil. Super gorgeous and elegant- won't hesitate to buy again!

I bought this to go with the matching wooden plant stand and I love it. I have had it for over a year now and still obsessed. It looks so gorgeous in any room and goes with most styles as it is so neutral, however the quality is brilliant and love how there is a drainage hole in the bottom which means that no house plants will die as a result of root rot. Great design and great price.
