Mara Planter M

The Mara Planter M is 31cm square and 32cm high, in ceramic with a soft matte white finish. It stands taller than the small size rather than wider. It has no drainage hole and is for indoor use.

The difference between the two Mara sizes is height, not footprint, and that is the useful thing to know. Both occupy about the same floor or shelf area; the medium simply lifts the plant higher, which suits a position where the foliage needs to clear a sofa back or a windowsill.

A taller vessel also changes the plant that suits it. Where the small size wants something spreading, this one carries an upright plant well, since the proportions of pot and plant stay in balance as the stem rises out of it.

Matte ceramic at this size shows dust more than a glazed finish would. A wipe every few weeks keeps a white pot reading as white, which is the whole reason for choosing one.
