From fiberstone to bamboo: which material suits you?

A stylish plant pot starts with the foundation: the material. At Pottery Pots, we use various types of materials for plant pots, each with its own look, advantages and characteristics. Whether you have a minimalist interior or a vibrant outdoor space, there is always a material that perfectly matches your planting project. Moreover, we continuously expand our material choices so we can increasingly offer sustainable and responsible pots. In this blog, you will discover which material is the perfect match for your plant pots or project!

Fiberstone

  • Robust and lightweight
  • Weather-resistant and low-maintenance
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

This strong material is composed of 58% finely ground stone and fiberglass: sturdy and solid, yet surprisingly lightweight. Thanks to this composition, fiberstone pots are high-quality and exceptionally low-maintenance. They easily withstand rain, frost and sun, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications. They also last for years without compromising on quality and are a stylish choice for any space.

Ficonstone

  • Strong and affordable
  • Natural appearance
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • Available in various finishes

Ficonstone may sound similar to fiberstone, but it is slightly heavier and more affordable. The material is a balanced mix of fiberglass, cement, sand and crushed stone. Ficonstone pots are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and are available in different finishes – from rough to smooth, and from modern to vintage. A versatile choice with a natural look and an accessible price point.

Fiberclay

  • Subtle, robust appearance
  • User-friendly and weather-resistant

Also referred to as “clayfibre” – similar to ficonstone, but containing extra sand and crushed stone for a subtle, robust appearance. It is a mix of clay and fiberglass that combines the look of pottery with practical advantages: fiberclay pots are easier to handle thanks to the addition of fiberglass. They are highly resistant to moisture, frost and sun and maintain their quality for years.

Bamboo

  • Handmade and natural
  • Bohemian look with modern strength
  • Practical and environmentally friendly

Is the bohemian style completely your thing? Then bamboo is a great match for you. This versatile and sustainable material is rich in natural charm and craftsmanship. The exterior consists of handwoven bamboo, while the interior is reinforced with a mix of fiberglass and cement to guarantee shape retention. Each bamboo plant pot is handmade and equipped with drainage holes, plugs and feet, ensuring practical use and long durability. A distinctive and environmentally friendly choice!

Strawgrass

  • Made from real straw
  • Naturally moisture-regulating
  • Bohemian look with character

Strawgrass is the material behind our woven pots from the bohemian collection. Made from real straw: straw naturally drains moisture and helps prevent mold formation – even after harvest. Thanks to the flexibility of the material, strawgrass plant pots are perfectly round in shape. The result? A characterful plant pot with a natural appearance that fits beautifully within a bohemian atmosphere.
Whether you choose the robust appearance of fiberstone or the natural charm of bamboo – the right material elevates your green project to the next level.
