Terracotta Babylon Hanging Pot

Create your own take on the hanging gardens of Babylon with these unique pots. Use in place of hanging baskets or cluster them with a variety of colourful plants to brighten up an expanse of wall or fence.

Each pot is fired to 1080°C to make it as frost resistant as possible; however we’d always suggest moving empty or full pots into a sheltered spot in the colder months.

Any white specks in the terracotta are lime granules, which occur naturally in raw Turkish clay. Sometimes when a pot is fired, the clay around them can split out a little, but this won’t compromise the strength of the pot in any way. The lime helps to bind the clay and ultimately makes for a stronger pot.

Hang on a secure hook out of reach of children, and avoid filling to the brim with soil as this will add unnecessary weight. We suggest filling to 2 inches from the top, which will also help the pot retain water. The ropes will perish over time and eventually need replacing, so please check periodically. See ‘Assembly and Care Instructions’ for guidance on replacing the rope.

As the pots are thrown by hand, they will vary slightly in height and diameter from batch to batch, so please be aware the measurements are approximate. Supplied with drainage holes.
