This steel top is a square rather than a ring, cut to sit inside it, with a central opening sized to take a standard Fomosa pot, so the plant sits at the right height from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't pack the base with polystyrene, rubble or offcuts to lift the plant, and you don't have to dig any of it out again when the plant is changed. Bark chip fills around the Fomosa pot and over the top itself, so the steel disappears into the finished arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and proportion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium square, comfortable with plants from about 70cm to 120cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat that as a styling guide rather than a rule. We work to roughly one-third planter to two-thirds plant, though the reverse and a straight 1:1 both read well — and a taller specimen in the same planter is a statement, not a mistake. Our pot and plant combinations show the range in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mild steel, powder-coated black, closely matched to the planter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e — Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor\u003c\/strong\u003e — Artificial planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mariella Square Medium Mediterranean Black, a polyresin planter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery top is powder-coated to the colour of the planter it belongs to, so this one is black.
