All Elho plant pots are made from recycled plastic – in fact, the company uses 11 million kilos of waste each year to manufacture its products – and production is entirely wind-powered. So their well-designed, long-lasting containers and planters make a great alternative to cheap, ugly plastic plant pots that crack and split before inevitably ending up in landfill.

Unlike many other pots on the market, Elho plant pots are made to last, and are UV and frost resistant. so can go outside in an eco garden. There are pretty pots as well as functional ones, such as:

  • the Bouncy Basil pot designed to help keep your basil – or other herbs – plants alive for longer by means of a special mechanism that prevents overwatering,
  • the Magic Microgreens pot (pictured above) that makes it easy to grow microgreens in your kitchen, and
  • the Amazing Avocado Floater (pictured below) that helps you grow an avocado plant from a stone

The cute grow table is stylish enough to bring indoors if you want to protect your seedlings from frost, while the innovative, stackable Stack and Grow containers (pictured below) are perfect for maxing out your veggie crop in a small space such as a balcony.
