From The Manufacturer

Discover the perfect way to bring your patio and balcony to life with the BALCONERA Cottage 80. This versatile planter can be placed on decks and used as a floor planter or hung from walls and railings as a windowbox planter thanks to the optional brackets. These easy-to-use brackets (purchased separately) fit into the bottom of the planter, making them an invisible support system. Plus, the BALCONERA Cottage 80 wicker finish allows you to seamlessly incorporate it into your home’s current furnishings. Like most LECHUZA planters, the BALCONERA Cottage 80 comes equipped with 2 easy-to-lift liners that make planting simple, especially when using the planter with the optional brackets. Don’t worry about juggling the planter and brackets as you hang the heavy pre-planted windowbox. Simply hang the empty planter from a window or balcony railing, remove the liners to plant your beautiful flowers or herbs, and then reinsert the planted liners with retractable handles into the already-hung BALCONERA Cottage 80. Furthermore, the LECHUZA signature water reservoir supplies water to your plants as needed, extending time between watering. Users can easily monitor their water reservoir levels with the planter’s water-level indicator, which shows when the reservoir needs to be refilled, taking the guesswork out of plant care. Also included with this planter is LECHUZA specially-formulated plant substrate, LECHUZA-PON. LECHUZA-PON separates your potting soil from the water reservoir, aerates the roots, provides your plants with nutrition, and helps regulate the water supplied to your plant. As an indoor and outdoor planter, the BALCONERA Cottage 80 is outfitted with a drainage plug to allow for the removal of excess rainwater when installed outdoors. This feature makes the BALCONERA Cottage 80 ideal for annuals, blooming plants and foliage. These planters are also light-weight, UV resistant, frostproof and weatherproof. Approximate size 32″ W x 7″ D x 7″ H.
