Q: What is the difference between the STAR HIGH pot and the standard STAR pot?
The height/diameter ratio is the fundamental difference. The pot STAR standard (6 sizes, Ø18.5→Ø42cm) has a Ø/H ratio close to 1:1 in each size — a square and balanced pot. The pot STAR HIGH (one size Ø30xH40cm) has a height significantly greater than the diameter — a tall and architectural pot. Same matte finish, same 5 colors, same polypropylene, same triple use — two very complementary silhouettes.
Q: Is this pot suitable for use as a cache-pot?
Yes — the STAR HIGH is very often used as an elegant cache-pot to dress up a standard culture pot. Its cylindrical shape and matte finish make it a very high-quality cache-pot, well above the usual cache-pots. Check that the inner culture pot has a diameter of less than or equal to Ø30cm. Its delivery without drainage holes also makes it an ideal cache-pot — it accommodates a standard culture pot without any modification and without the risk of overflow to the outside. For use in direct cultivation requiring drainage, the bottom can be easily drilled with a standard drill bit.
Q: What plants are best suited to this size Ø30xH40cm?
Plants with a vertical growth habit and deep rooting — bamboos, column laurels, ficus, yuccas, dracaenas, tall sansevierias. The height of 40cm is particularly valuable for plants whose roots go deep. When used as a cache-pot, any plant in an appropriate culture pot.
Q: Can this pot stay outside all year round?
Yes — triple use including outdoor garden. Polypropylene is tested down to -20 °C and treated with UV protection in all five colors. The matte finish retains its appearance without fading or degrading in the sun. Occasional wiping is sufficient for maintenance.
Q: Can the STAR HIGH be combined with the standard STAR pot in the same space?
Absolutely — it is even the most recommended composition. Both share exactly the same colors, the same matte finish, and the same polypropylene. STAR HIGH (slender) + standard STAR (balanced) in the same color create a very rich composition with two highly complementary silhouettes.
