A solid bamboo stand that lifts a pot off the floor, in three sizes.

A pot standing directly on a floor or a windowsill traps damp underneath it. Air cannot move, the surface stays wet after every watering, and over a season that marks wood and lifts paint.

Raising it a few inches fixes that, and changes how the plant reads in a room. A trailing plant gets somewhere to trail from; a small plant stops being lost at floor level.

Solid bamboo rather than plastic, in three sizes, with floor pads so it does not scratch a hard floor.

Assemble the frame and tighten the screws firmly but without forcing them. Bamboo threads strip easily.
Fit the floor pads to the feet if you are standing it on a hard floor.
Stand the pot centred on the frame, on a saucer or drip tray of your own — one is not supplied.
Empty that saucer after watering rather than leaving the pot standing in run-off.

Material: solid bamboo, uncoated
Small: about 4.8 in wide by 3.5 in tall (12.3 x 9 cm)
Medium: about 5.6 in wide by 4.3 in tall (14.3 x 11 cm)
Large: about 7.6 in wide by 6.3 in tall (19.3 x 16 cm)
Included: stand and floor pads
Not included: saucer or drip tray
Assembly: required, screws included

Three sizes of the same design. Measure across the base of your pot, not the rim, and pick the frame that is a little wider than that figure.

Small — 4.8 in across: a herb pot or a small desk plant
Medium — 5.6 in across: a typical nursery pot
Large — 7.6 in across: something you have already potted on once

These are small stands. Nothing in the range will take a large floor planter.

No saucer or drip tray is included. Use one of your own — uncoated bamboo marks if water is left standing on it.
Indoors or under cover. Bamboo left out in the weather will not last a season.
Each size is a fixed height, so pick the one that suits your pot.
Do not overtighten the screws during assembly.
A tall plant on a raised stand has a higher centre of gravity than you expect. Keep it away from doorways and pets.

Does it come with a saucer?

No. Use a saucer or tray of your own underneath.

What size pot fits?

The frames measure about 4.8, 5.6 and 7.6 in across. Measure the base of your pot and choose the frame that is a little wider.

Is it extendable?

No. Each size is a fixed height.

Can I use it outdoors?

Not in the open. Uncoated bamboo needs to be indoors or somewhere fully covered.

Does it need assembling?

Yes, but only a few screws. Floor pads are included to stop it slipping on hard floors.

Why you'll love it

Up off the floor. Air moves underneath, and damp stops marking the surface below.

Solid bamboo. Light to move, warm against a plain pot, and not plastic.

Three sizes. From a desk plant up to something you have already potted on once.

Measure the base, not the rim

Almost every plant pot tapers. The rim is the widest part and the base is often an inch or two narrower, which is why a stand that looks too small in the photograph frequently turns out to be right.

What matters here is the base. The pot sits down inside the frame rather than balancing on top of it, so measure across the bottom of the pot and choose the stand that is slightly wider than that. A pot whose base is wider than the frame will not settle properly; one that is much narrower will sit low and look sunken.

If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. A little clearance is easy to live with; a pot that will not go in is not.

A quick guide for your growing space

Heat

Pots dry out faster than garden beds in a hot spell. Check the soil before you water, and leave heat-stressed stems alone rather than repositioning them.

Humidity

Damp air suits many tropical houseplants, but airflow still matters. Leave room between a support and a wall so air can move around the stems you have just tied in.
