Recognise the signs of wear, choose the right material for each use, and phase the replacement without having to redo everything at once.
Plastic planters have served their purpose. Then one more summer turns them white, one winter cracks them — and the whole setting begins to look tired.
Whitened surfaces, faded colours, sides warped by the sun, cracks and chipped edges, troughs that become brittle at the slightest impact: plastic does not wear discreetly. When these signs appear, occasional replacements are no longer enough — the entire collection is reaching the end of its life.
The setting shapes how everything else is perceived: a terrace with faded planters raises doubts about the food, while a lobby with yellowed troughs raises doubts about the service. Conversely, replacing containers is one of the most visible transformations you can make to a space, without building work.
Restaurant terrace: glazed ceramic, for its character and stabilising weight. Public spaces and high-traffic areas: galvanised metal or fibre concrete, for durability. Rooftops and terraces on slabs: fibre concrete, for controlled weight. Reception areas and interiors: stainless steel or ceramic, for brightness. Replacement is the opportunity to finally choose the material suited to each location.
Your plants do not need replacing: they can be repotted into the new planter, with refreshed substrate to give them years more growth. And when a plastic nursery pot is still in good condition, simply placing it inside a refined cachepot is enough: the effect is immediate, and the plant is undisturbed.
There is no need to redo everything at once: phase the project zone by zone, starting with the most visible areas — the entrance, façade and terrace. Schedule repotting outside frost periods and coordinate quantities: our ranges are available in small or large series, ensuring visual consistency from one phase to the next.
The most visible transformation for a space, without building work.
Repotting or a cachepot: your plants come with you.
Zone by zone, starting with the most visible areas.
Yes, almost always: either by repotting into the new container (with refreshed substrate, which benefits the plant), or by placing the existing nursery pot inside a cachepot. Your established plants are an asset: replacement showcases them.
No: phasing by visibility works very well: start with the entrance and façade, then the terrace, then the secondary areas. The key is to choose a range that can be extended so that the phases remain consistent with one another.
Repotting is ideally carried out outside frost periods and heatwaves: spring and early autumn are the most suitable windows. Cachepot replacements, however, can be carried out all year round.
Direct them to plastic recycling schemes in your area (professional waste collection centres, specialist collectors); those still in good condition can be used as discreet nursery pots inside cachepots.
Send us a few photos of your existing planters: we can propose a phased replacement, zone by zone.
