Fish Planter (Shades of Blue)

Three colour ways available: Dark blue, teal & aquamarine (sold separately).

Sizes:

Two sizes of jug available. The small jug is suitable for holding 6cm diameter plastic nursery pots.The large jug is suitable for holding 9cm diameter plastic nursery pots (8cm diameter pots are slightly too small and require raising up).

In cases where the plastic pot is slightly too small for the hole, you can fill the jug with something solid to lift the plant higher. Occasionally the pot does not fit completely flush (as photographed). If you are not sure whether a specific plant from our site will fit – just drop us a message and we will help you out!

Stapelia Leendertziae ‘Black Bells’:

An optional Stapelia Leendertziae ‘Black Bells’ can be included to match your fish jug! 

A low maintenance succulent plant known for the starfish shaped flowers that it readily produces.

There  are many different varieties of Stapelia which each produce a different type of bloom, the Leendertziae produces dark maroon coloured flowers with a bell shape.

This plant is incredibly soft to the touch, if you ever had Sylvanian Families growing up – the  Leendertziae’s stems have the same fuzzy ‘flocked’ feeling! 

An easy-care plant which is happy to be left on a windowsill and not fussy about missing the occasional watering.

Care:

Light: Bright sun light will promote the best growth and most vibrant colours.

Water: Let the soil completely dry out between waterings, bottom watering is advised but do not let the plant sit in water (you will probably find it easier to remove the plant from the jug for watering).

Food: Will appreciate being fertilised every few weeks during the growing season; use a light cacti fertiliser.

Humidity: Will thrive in a normal home humidity but will also tolerate dry air.
