Mirror Ball Planter Styling Guide
Short answer: Style a mirror ball planter as one bright focal point where daylight or a lamp hits it, with a trailing plant spilling over the edge. As a cache pot, it holds a plant in its nursery pot, so water never touches the tiles. One strong piece in a clear spot does more than several small ones together.
Looking for the pieces themselves? See our disco ball planters.
Where should a mirror ball planter go?
Put it where light lands: a sunny windowsill, a shelf facing a window, or under a lamp. The tiles scatter spots of light across walls and ceilings. Leave clear space around it.
How do you use a mirror ball cache pot?
A cache pot has no drainage hole. Keep the plant in its nursery pot, sit it inside, and lift it out to water. The Disco Ball Plant Pot comes as a cache pot or with a drainage hole; with the hole, stand it on a saucer indoors.
Which shape suits the spot?
- Round: the Disco Ball Plant Pot, 9 cm or 15 cm wide, for a sill or shelf.
- Hanging: the Glitter Ball, 10, 15 or 20 cm, for trailing plants above eye level.
- Square: the Mirror Cube Planter for a straight-edged shelf.
- Crescent: the Crescent Moon Planter for a softer shape.
How do you clean the tiles?
Use a little glass cleaner on a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. Keep water off the tiles by watering the nursery pot at the sink.
