Metal Flower Pot VidaXL model 873809 — weather-resistant steel, 35 x 35 x 15 cm

VidaXL metal flower pot model 873809 is a square planter made from weather-resistant steel with external dimensions of 35 x 35 x 15 cm. Designed for both outdoor and indoor use, this metal flower pot provides a compact planting area suitable for ornamental flowers, small shrubs or mixed container plantings on patios, balconies and terraces. The steel construction helps protect contents from rain and wind, while the low-profile shape fits modern and minimalist settings.

Advantages

The metal construction offers increased durability compared with many plastic or thin ceramic pots and resists common outdoor weather effects. The compact square design makes efficient use of space and allows several units to be arranged together for larger displays. Its neutral finish integrates with a variety of garden and balcony styles and simplifies seasonal repositioning and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Outdoor planting of ornamental annuals and perennials on terraces, balconies and patios
• Indoor placement for decorative display of houseplants in living rooms or hallways
• Grouping multiple planters for a uniform container garden or visual barrier
• Use as a decorative container for herbs or compact shrubs

When it may not be suitable

This metal flower pot has limited depth compared with deeper planting containers, so it is not ideal for large shrubs or plants with deep root systems that require more soil volume. If you need heavy insulation for sensitive roots in extreme temperatures, additional lining or insulation may be required because metal can transfer heat and cold more readily than thicker ceramic or timber planters.

Key specifications

• Material: weather-resistant steel
• External dimensions: 35 x 35 x 15 cm
• Shape: square
• Intended use: indoor and outdoor
• Finish: neutral metal finish suitable for various styles

How to use

Place the planter on a stable, level surface. If used outdoors, ensure adequate drainage by checking for drainage holes or by adding a layer of coarse aggregate at the bottom before adding potting mix. Fill the container with a suitable potting soil mixture formulated for the chosen plants, position plants at the correct depth and water thoroughly. For indoor use, place a protective tray beneath the pot to catch excess water if the planter does not have built-in drainage.

What to consider before purchase

• Required planting depth for the intended plants and whether 15 cm height is sufficient
• Whether you need built-in drainage or will add drainage layers/holes
• Placement environment (direct sun, frost exposure) and potential need for insulation or liner
• Weight when filled with soil and whether the chosen location can support it

Usage recommendations

To extend the lifespan of the metal planter, clean periodically and inspect for surface corrosion. Use a liner or protective coating if placing soil directly against the metal for long periods, and avoid prolonged standing of water inside the pot. For best plant performance, choose potting mixes appropriate to the species and monitor moisture levels frequently in warm weather.
