This round ceramic planter uses a UV-resistant glaze that won't fade on a sunny patio. The handcrafted Emissary Modern Round Ceramic Planter in six sizes and three reef-finish colors -- blue, lime, or teal -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can move it from your front porch to your entryway without worrying the weather will show.
How Well Does Glazed Ceramic Hold Up in Sun and Rain?
The reef glaze on this piece is fired to resist UV fade and moisture penetration, so direct sun won't dull the color and rain won't seep through the walls. Ceramic itself is nonporous once fired, which stops mildew and algae from taking hold the way unfinished clay might. That glazed finish also sheds dirt easily -- a damp cloth wipes off pollen and dust with no harsh cleaners. The heft of ceramic keeps the planter stable in wind, especially once you fill it with soil and a plant.
Do You Have to Bring Ceramic Planters Inside for Winter?
You do if your winters drop below freezing for more than a few nights. Ceramic can crack when water trapped inside freezes and expands, so store this planter indoors or in a covered, unheated space when the forecast shows prolonged hard freezes. In mild climates where the temperature stays above 32°F, it can stay outside year-round. Wipe the rim and interior with a damp cloth before you store it to keep the glaze in good shape for next season.
Which Size Should You Choose for Your Plant?
Pick a planter 2-4 inches wider than your plant's nursery pot so roots have room without drowning in excess soil. The 9-inch and 11-inch sizes work for tabletop succulents or small herbs, and the 18.5-inch through 28-inch options hold mature fiddle leaf figs or larger shrubs you want to anchor a patio corner. You can layer multiple sizes from our outdoor planters collection to build height and color variation around your seating area, mixing the reef blue, lime, and teal finishes for a coastal look.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this planter stay outside all year?
- Only in climates where winter temperatures stay above freezing. Store it indoors during prolonged freezes to prevent the ceramic from cracking when trapped water expands.
- Will the reef glaze fade in direct sun?
- No. The UV-resistant glaze is fired to hold its color under full sun, so the blue, lime, or teal finish won't bleach or dull over a season outdoors.
- How do I store this planter over winter in a cold climate?
- Move it to a covered, unheated space like a garage or shed before the first hard freeze. Wipe the interior and rim with a damp cloth to remove soil residue, and empty any standing water.
- Does this planter have drainage holes?
- The source facts do not specify drainage, so check the product detail or contact us. If there are no holes, use a liner pot with drainage or add a gravel layer at the base to prevent root rot outdoors.
- What's the best way to clean the textured reef rim?
- Wipe it with a damp cloth and avoid household cleaners or abrasive scrubbers that can scratch or dull the glaze.
- Does LOOMLAN Outdoor offer free shipping on ceramic planters?
- Yes. All orders ship free to the continental USA with no minimum purchase, delivered curbside.
