Question 1

Are Ecopots for indoor or outdoor use?

Accepted Answer

Both! Our larger pots come with a plug in the bottom for drainage, so if you are planning to use one of those pots indoors, we recommend using it with a saucer. Apart from that, you can use Ecopots everywhere you want!

Question 2

What is different between Water reservoir and indoor water system?

Accepted Answer

Ecopots with water reservoir is for both indoor and outdoor use. They are designed with a reservoir at the bottom of the pot which is separated by a disk with holes that prevents the roots of the plants from stagnating in excess water. The roots will get the amount of water they need through capillary force. 
Ecopots Indoor water system as the product name suggests, is for indoor use. With this system, the plug should not be removed unless in combination with a saucer. The plant gets its water through the wick which absorbs water from the spout.  
Note that both systems can not be combined.

Question 3

Do all Ecopots have a rubber plug in the bottom?

Accepted Answer

Yes, except for the mini Ecopots, most Ecopots come with plugs., so you can use them for both indoors and outdoors. We advice to remove the plug for both indoor use (with a saucer) and outdoor use to enable excess water to drain. By outdoor use the rubber plug should always be removed in winter to prevent damage by frost.

Question 5

How do I best pot a plant?

Accepted Answer

Potting a plant has never been so easy! No nasty rims to scratch your hands or to make a mess out of this seemingly simple task (you know what we mean, potting soil all over the place…). However, before you start pouring the potting soil in, make sure you add a granulate (this can also be shards of for instance terra cotta pots) or hydro drains in the bottom (say approx. 1/3 of the pot). Oh, and if you’re planning on using the pot outdoors, don’t forget to remove the plug fist! When the granulate is in place pour in some potting soil, then place our plant, top it off with potting soil and firmly press. Add water and some sweet words to the plant and you’re done. Using the flower pot indoors? Don’t forget to use a saucer when your pot has a rubber plug in the bottom.

Question 6

What are Ecopots made from?

Accepted Answer

Ecopots are crafted from a high-quality recycled-based composite, using up to 80% recycled materials. By giving these materials a second life, we help reduce waste and make durable products that last. Beyond material choice, we focus on timeless design and natural colors—no fleeting trends—so your Ecopots remain beautiful for over 10 years. We believe the most sustainable products are the ones you don’t have to replace year after year due to wear or changing styles.

Question 7

Are Ecopots recyclable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ecopots are made from a high-quality recycled-based composite containing up to 80% recycled materials, one of the highest percentages in the market. Designed to last for many years, Ecopots have a lifespan of over 10 years, so recycling won’t be needed anytime soon. When they eventually reach the end of their life cycle, they are fully recyclable and can be given a new purpose once again.

Question 8

Where are Ecopots produced?

Accepted Answer

Our flower pots and planters are being made in Asia, where we have our own production facilities. The main reason for this is that all Ecopots feature a distinctive, handmade finish which would be impossible to do cost effective when produced in for instance Europe or the USA.

Question 9

Why are Ecopots more expensive than other standard flower pots?

Accepted Answer

Ecopots are designed for long-term use and made from a high-quality recycled-based composite, not conventional plastic. This carefully developed material combines natural minerals with recycled components, resulting in a pot that closely resembles concrete or natural stone while remaining lightweight, strong, and frost-resistant. Each Ecopots item is hand-finished, giving it a distinctive look and a premium feel. Unlike mass-produced, low-cost pots, Ecopots focus on durability, repairability, and timeless design. This commitment to quality, sustainability, and performance is what sets Ecopots apart and explains the difference in price.
