Common Questions

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes. The sealed concrete construction is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For best results outdoors, place in a sheltered spot.

What plants work best?

Trailing plants like String of Pearls, Pothos, or Spider Plants look brilliant. You can also display it empty as a sculpture.

Is each one unique?

Yes. Every piece is hand-cast and hand-painted individually, so pattern variations make each one slightly different.

The bold white spiral patterns and tribal line work contrast against the dark concrete, creating a piece that works as art even without a plant. Coiled hair buns and circular spiral earrings add depth and personality.

Handcrafted in the Cumbria countryside by Ripleys Nest.

What size plant fits inside?+
Refer to the dimensions listed. Most standard nursery pots up to 12cm fit comfortably.
How do I care for it?+
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Apply a concrete sealer once a year for lasting weather protection.
