Resin Planters ~ The Look
of Real Stone

Resin Planters...or Fiberglass? Polypropylene? Are you confused?

The terms resin, fiberglass and polyethylene are often used interchangeably, although technically the actual materials may vary.

Very detailed molds used in producing these lightweight planters create patterns, textures and reliefs that have only been available on more expensive planters.

The most popular resin planters simulate the look of natural materials such as clay, terracotta and stone... many virtually impossible to distinguish from the 'real thing' until you touch them.

Resin planters offer many benefits, especially to gardeners with limited space and experience. Their lightweight also makes these planters ideal for balconies or porches where weight must be a consideration. Durability is the major benefit of fiberglass planters - most last for many years without the extra care required for terracotta, wood and metal.

As with all planter types, it is important to ensure resin planters have adequate drainage holes and air circulation around the roots. It is also important to consider the color of resin pots and exposure to the sun, as dark colors tend to absorb and retain more heat than lighter colors.
