Flower planter VidaXL steel olive 90 x 90 x 35 cm

The VidaXL steel flower planter in olive finish measures 90 x 90 x 35 cm and offers a large, durable container for outdoor and indoor planting. Constructed from metal with a weather-resistant coating, the planter provides sufficient depth and area for shrubs, perennials, mixed arrangements or a compact vegetable patch. Its square shape and neutral olive colour integrate with patios, terraces, balconies and garden borders, delivering a functional planting solution that can be used for decorative planting as well as urban greening.

Advantages

The steel construction ensures structural strength and stability while the olive finish provides corrosion protection and a discreet aesthetic. The planter’s generous dimensions create a roomy soil volume that supports healthy root development and reduces the need for frequent watering. Its design is straightforward to position on hard surfaces or raised beds and is suitable for both private and communal outdoor spaces.

Suitable for

• Shrubs and small trees that require a deep root zone
• Perennials and ornamental plants for borders and terraces
• Mixed planting schemes with annuals and bedding plants
• Compact vegetable or herb gardens on balconies and patios
• Urban greening projects and decorative displays in public areas

When it may not be suitable

This steel planter may be less suitable for very acidic or salt-rich soils without an appropriate liner, as those conditions can accelerate corrosion over time. It is also not intended for permanent in-ground installation where continuous soil moisture could reduce the service life of the metal.

Key specifications

• Material: Steel with protective coating
• Colour: Olive finish
• External dimensions: 90 x 90 x 35 cm (length x width x height)
• Shape: Square
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

How to use

Place the planter on a stable, level surface. If using outdoors, consider positioning on paving slabs or a raised support to allow drainage. Line the planter with landscape fabric or a suitable liner if you wish to protect the metal from direct contact with soil or moisture. Fill with a well-draining growing medium appropriate to the selected plants, add plants according to their spacing and depth requirements, and water thoroughly after planting. Regularly monitor soil moisture and feed plants as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Location: ensure the planter fits the intended area and receives suitable light for the chosen plants
• Drainage: plan for drainage or a liner to prevent standing water
• Weight when filled: consider the filled weight for placement and transport
• Corrosive environments: avoid direct contact with highly acidic or saline soils unless lined

Usage recommendations

To extend the lifespan of the planter, use a breathable landscape fabric between the metal and the soil, avoid continuous waterlogging, and periodically inspect the protective finish. For heavy containers, prepare a stable base and consider lifting assistance during relocation.
