Perfect Basket Planter, Round Mixed Weave

Round Mixed Woven Planter Two weave patterns define the Perfect Basket Planter in Round Mixed Weave: a tight upper section gives way to an open looped band near the base, building texture through construction rather than color or dye. Handwoven from elephant grass by artisans in Bolgatanga, Ghana, the wide, low form sits steadily on any surface and opens fully at the top. How To Use It as a Planter At 11" in diameter and 8" tall, this natural basket planter gives bigger plants the scale they need. Set a nursery pot inside to keep soil and drainage out of sight. To plant directly, line the basket with plastic or a coco liner before adding soil, and avoid prolonged standing water to protect the fibers. The wide opening lets fuller houseplants spread naturally, and the sturdy base keeps it from tipping when the plant gets top-heavy. The Craft Behind the Perfect Basket In the Bolgatanga district, weaving is the primary household trade. Artisans work year-round producing baskets that move from local markets into homes across the world, with the income sustaining families across generations. The skills behind every piece are passed down within those same families, refined through years of practice and shared knowledge. Also available in a smaller size in Natural and Black.
