VidaXL Steel Olive-Green Flower Planter 120x80x80 cm

VidaXL Steel Olive-Green Flower Planter 120x80x80 cm is a large rectangular metal planter designed for both outdoor and indoor use. Constructed from steel and finished in olive-green, this planter provides a spacious planting area suitable for shrubs, perennials and decorative arrangements. Its robust build and clean modern lines make it suitable for terraces, patios, balconies and commercial displays where a durable container is required.

Advantages

The steel construction gives the planter structural strength and long-term durability compared with thinner plastic alternatives. The olive-green finish provides a contemporary, natural look that integrates with garden greenery and outdoor décor. With substantial internal volume and a broad footprint, the planter supports larger plants and multiple plantings while offering stable placement on flat surfaces.

Suitable for

• Planting medium-sized shrubs and ornamental grasses
• Creating perennial or mixed seasonal displays on terraces and patios
• Indoor placement in lobbies, conservatories or large rooms (with tray or liner)
• Commercial displays at cafés, retail entrances or office outdoor areas

When it may not be suitable

This steel planter is relatively heavy when filled and may not be suitable for small balconies with weight restrictions or for locations where frequent relocation is required. If corrosion resistance is critical in a coastal environment, additional protective coatings or regular maintenance may be necessary to prolong the finish.

Key specifications

• Material: Steel
• Colour: Olive green
• External dimensions: 120 x 80 x 80 cm (length x width x height)
• Shape: Rectangular
• Suitable for: Outdoor and indoor use

How to use

Place the planter on a level, stable surface. If used indoors, position a protective tray or liner beneath the planter to prevent moisture damage to floors. Add a suitable drainage layer such as coarse gravel or broken pottery, then fill with a well-draining potting mix appropriate for the intended plants. Allow sufficient space between plants for root development and water thoroughly after planting. For long-term outdoor use, check periodically for signs of rust or paint wear and touch up as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the available space and weight limits of the intended location
• Decide whether an internal liner or drainage tray is needed for indoor use
• Consider plant types and soil volume required for healthy growth
• Plan for maintenance if placed in a high-humidity or coastal environment

Usage recommendations

For best results, line the interior with a breathable landscape fabric to retain soil while allowing drainage, and choose plants with similar water and light requirements. Regularly inspect the planter finish and apply touch-up paint to protect the steel in exposed outdoor settings.
