The VidaXL round steel planter pot in anthracite, size 35×35×15 cm, is a compact metal container designed for both indoor and outdoor planting. Its cylindrical shape and neutral dark finish suit modern and classic settings alike, offering a functional base for ornamental plants, small shrubs or seasonal flowers. The sturdy steel construction delivers stability and a solid visual presence on patios, balconies or terraces while the finish resists weathering and facilitates cleaning. Drainage holes are not pre-installed but can be added to adapt the planter to different planting needs.
Advantages
This planter pot combines a durable steel body with an anthracite finish that reduces glare and blends with a wide range of exterior and interior décors. Its dimensions (35×35×15 cm) make it versatile for single specimen plants, grouped displays or as a container for mixed plantings. The metal construction offers good structural stability and is easy to wipe clean. The option to add drainage allows customization for different plant types and watering regimes.
Suitable for
- Single decorative houseplants or outdoor ornamentals
- Small shrubs, herbs or seasonal flowering plants
- Patios, balconies, terraces and entranceways
- Grouped arrangements or individual statement pieces
When it may not be suitable
This steel planter is not ideal for very large or deep-rooted trees because its internal depth is limited. Prolonged contact with highly acidic or salty soils without protective lining can accelerate surface corrosion despite the weather-resistant finish. If you require integrated irrigation or factory-installed drainage, this model will need modification.

How to use
Place the planter on a level, stable surface. If using outdoors, consider raising the pot slightly with feet or a tray to protect surfaces and improve air circulation. Add a layer of coarse material or broken pottery at the base for additional drainage if you do not drill holes. Use an appropriate potting mix for the selected plant species and water according to plant requirements. Clean the exterior periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and prevent buildup.
What to consider before purchase
- Check internal planting depth relative to the root system of chosen plants
- Decide whether you will add drainage holes or use a liner and saucer
- Consider protection or lining if planting with acidic or saline substrates
- Measure available space to ensure the 35×35×15 cm dimensions fit your intended location
Usage recommendations
For best results outdoors, place the planter under partial shelter during extreme weather and use a breathable liner to protect the steel finish. For indoor use, pair with a matching saucer or tray to catch excess water and protect surfaces.
