PSW Pot M30DC Collection Shallow Garden Bowl Low Planter for Succulents, Bonsai, Fairy Gardens, Herbs, 12-inch, Dark Charcoal

This 12" bowl is a hit at our house!The material is a strong solid composit of stone powder, wood powder, and plastic (100% recycled). It's not quite as heavy as pottery, yet very substantual... not like a foam or plastic pot.The bowl design is perfect. Artistically shaped and with nice finish, the deep charcoal color is uniform as is the surface sheen.Looking forward to many years of bonsai-Lotus on our slate colored tile porch.Product arrived overnight as advertised. Can't wait for the two matching smaller bowles tomorrow!

I didn't really want a plastic pot, I was looking for clay. I'm in southern AZ and plastic tends to heat up too much in the hot sun. But I couldn't find the size and shape I wanted in clay, so I decided to take a chance on this seeing as how it's not 100% plastic and maybe will have better properties. I got the light taupe color to avoid soaking in too much heat. It does feel like a very sturdy plastic but I'm hoping it will have a little more breathability. In any case, I did drill a bunch of holes in the bottom to ensure drainage. I don't know why other people seem to be having a hard time drilling holes, my drill went right through it with ease and no cracking at all. What I really love about this pot is that it really does look like clay, not like plastic at all. I have an actual clay pot that is the same light brown color and this looks almost exactly like it in texture. It's really beautiful and I don't have to worry about breakage as much as with a clay pot that cracks if you even look at it funny. If it doesn't work out for live container planting, I will definitely find other uses for it.

Beautiful! Exactly what I was looking for. It looks like a very expensive bowl but is still lightweight! I used it to make a big candle and loved how it came out. The candle wax did sweat through a tiny bit when it was setting but it was mind if expected for the type of material. I also bought a smaller dark gray one too and it’s the same great quality

I love the taupe/neutral color and it holds up well for my succulent arrangement. I like that it is very sturdy and there is no rocking to the bowl planter (I bought one from a different vendor and it didn't sit flat on the table). It did lose a star as there are no drainage holes but shame on me for not noticing that. I will probably buy another and just add the holes myself as I like it so much.

Just the right size that I needed for the stand I'll be using. The color goes perfect with the paver colors on my patio.

Great pot, my new starter succulents will do very well. Just meed to add some tiny rocks and my new pot is all set.

They are plastic, and don't have any drainage holes.

I looked everywhere for a sturdy, deep bird bath for our pigeons. I wanted something deep enough that they could submerge most of their feathers, wide enough to fit their whole bodies, stable enough that it doesn't spill when they splash around, and moveable so no need to screw in or be in a stand. I found nothing. Parakeet baths are too small, outdoor bird baths require some sort of stand or brace, and parrot baths are outrageously expensive. So instead, I started searching for cheap big bowls, but it was hard to find anything heavy enough that my birds couldn't tip it over. I don't remember how I stumbled across these planters, but they are PERFECT. I bought one for our white pigeon who LOVES to bathe, and it worked so well that I just bought a second for our other pigeon. I know this isn't their intended purpose, but they are still ideal as an indoor pigeon bath. They're attractive too. Highly recommended!
