With more people than ever working from home and longing to establish a healthy green oasis in their urban spaces, the multi award-winning collection of planters from LECHUZA offers the perfect blend of innovative functionality and trend-focused design.

The water reservoir is hidden in the underside of each planter and can hold up to 26 litres, depending on the model, allowing plants to take up the exact amount of moisture and nutrients they need.

You never need to worry about leaving thirsty plants untended while you take a weekend break, or filling up watering cans after a hectic day, just sit back and relax in your lush green haven and let LECHUZA do the work for you. Repotting is also made as easy as possible with removable liners which have a built-in water supply incorporated into every planter in the range.

Models in the collection range from ultra-modern surface design in high-gloss and matte finishing across to natural stone effects, woven satin and lightweight, wicker-like materials, designed to suit your style and built to withstand the weather.
