Q : What is the difference between the Teramo bowl and the Happy bowl from the catalog ?
Four fundamental differences. The finish : the Happy bowl is smooth; the Teramo bowl has a textured stone effect finish. The holes : the Happy bowl is hole-free by default (drillable); the Teramo bowl is pre-drilled. The usage : the Happy bowl is for indoor + balcony; the Teramo bowl is for balcony & terrace + outdoor garden. The rim : the Teramo bowl has a thick rim that reinforces the structure; the Happy bowl has a standard rim.
Q : Is this pot drilled or not drilled ?
Drilled from origin — the bottom is drilled for immediate drainage. Direct planting possible upon receipt. For use on a terrace without drainage to the outside, a round saucer suitable for the diameter of the pot (Ø30, Ø40 or Ø50cm) is sufficient.
Q: What is the purpose of the thick rim?
The thick rim reinforces the rigidity of the pot all around its circumference — particularly important in a low and wide shape that, without this reinforcement, could deform under the weight of the full substrate. It also ensures very high stability on the ground, even in the large size Ø50cm, and gives the pot its characteristic sculptural presence.
Q: Can this pot stay in an outdoor garden all year round?
Yes — dual use for balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. Polypropylene is tested down to -20 °C and treated with UV protection in both colors. The stone effect finish withstands the elements and freeze/thaw cycles. Scratch resistance also protects it during movement on abrasive surfaces. Occasional wiping is sufficient.
Q: What plants are best suited for this low pot?
Plants with horizontal growth or shallow rooting — succulents and cacti, ground cover plants (creeping thyme, sedum, armeria), mixed compositions of low annual plants, compact herbs. Its very horizontal shape is particularly beautiful with plants that spread rather than grow upwards.
