Flower box with tray stefanplast Ethica 50 x 18 x 17 cm, 9.5 L, self-watering, recycled plastic, mustard yellow

Ethica flower box by stefanplast is a 50 x 18 x 17 cm outdoor planter made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic. With a capacity of 9.5 L and an integrated self-watering system, this mustard yellow flower box includes a tray for controlled drainage and irrigation. It is designed for balconies, terraces and gardens, offering a compact solution for flowers, herbs and small decorative plants. The product is intended for outdoor use and combines durability with a reduced environmental footprint due to its recycled material composition.

Advantages

The Ethica flower box features an integrated self-watering system that helps maintain consistent soil moisture and reduces the frequency of manual watering. Made from fully recycled and recyclable plastic, it provides a sustainable option for outdoor planting while remaining lightweight and resistant to weather. The included tray ensures tidy drainage and easy repositioning, and the compact 50 x 18 x 17 cm dimensions make it suitable for narrow balcony rails and small terrace spaces.

Suitable for

• Balcony planting of flowers and small ornamental plants
• Growing herbs and compact vegetables on terraces
• Window boxes and railing-mounted arrangements where space is limited
• Outdoor decorative displays on patios, steps or garden edges

When it may not be suitable

This flower box is relatively small with a 9.5 L volume, so it is not suitable for large shrubs, deep-rooted plants or trees that require greater soil depth and root volume. It may also be less appropriate for heavy or moisture-sensitive soil mixes that exceed the box's weight-bearing or drainage capacity when fully saturated.

How to use

Place the Ethica flower box on a stable, level surface or secure it on a balcony rail according to local mounting guidance. Fill the box with an appropriate potting mix, leaving room for the self-watering reservoir as indicated by the product's internal structure. Position plants and water initially to settle the soil. Use the self-watering tray to monitor and control water levels; check reservoir and surface moisture periodically and top up the water when necessary. Clean the tray and container occasionally to prevent salt or debris buildup.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 50 x 18 x 17 cm dimensions and 9.5 L volume suit the intended plants and available space.
• Check that the mustard yellow color matches your outdoor decor; actual color may vary from images.
• Consider weight when filled with soil and water if mounting on rails or small shelves.
• Confirm outdoor exposure (sun/shade) is appropriate for chosen plants and that drainage needs are met.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a light, well-draining potting mix suited to balcony plants and herbs. Position the flower box where plant water needs align with the self-watering system—more shade reduces refill frequency, while full sun may require more frequent checks. Regularly remove dead foliage and repot annually if root-bound to maintain plant health.
