PLANT TROLLEY – Plant pot on wheels and trellis

The handle also serves as the support pole

The wooden handle fulfils two functions on the PLANT TROLLEY: it is used to move the planter and also serves as a permanently fixed trellis. Unlike loose trellis poles, the wood is not simply inserted into the potting soil. It is securely attached to the planter outside the planting area. As a result, the trellis has no direct contact with the permanently moist substrate. At the same time, virtually the entire volume of the pot is available to the plant’s roots. The plant can remain permanently attached to the support. When the pot is moved, the plant and the support are moved together. There is no need to detach, reposition or realign the support.

From a wooden pole to a flexible trellis.

For plants with more extensive branching or climbing habits, the wooden trellis can be supplemented with an optional stainless steel trellis spiral. The spiral is attached to the wooden stake and its diameter can be adjusted to suit the plant’s growth. This creates a three-dimensional trellis that not only supports the plant at a single point, but also wraps around it from the sides and supports its growth. This is suitable, for example, for tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, climbing plants and tall flowering plants. The wooden stake thus provides a stable base. The optional trellis spiral extends this into a flexible training and trellising solution.

The plant, the trellis and the pot remain as a single unit.

With conventional plant pots, support stakes, trellises or espaliers often have to be attached separately. When the pot is moved, they can come loose, become wedged or damage the plant.

With the PLANT TROLLEY, the key functions are integrated:

• The pot holds the plant and the growing medium.
• The wood serves as a handle and a support for the plant to climb.
• The optional trellis guides and stabilises the plant.
• The built-in castors allow the pot to be moved to a different location.

This allows a fully planted and tied-up plant to be moved as a single unit.

24 litres of space for robust plants

With a planting capacity of 24 litres, the PLANT TROLLEY offers significantly more root space than small balcony and decorative pots. The volume of growing medium is suitable for many larger container plants as well as for vigorous vegetable plants. The PLANT TROLLEY can be used for, amongst other things:

• Tomatoes
• Aubergines
• Peppers
• Cucumbers
• Beans
• smaller varieties of squash
• Dipladenia
• Clematis
• tall summer flowers
• ornamental grasses
• portable privacy screens
• or indoor plants

The choice of plants should always be tailored to the location, height and available root space.

Water storage and drainage

Beneath the planting compartment is a water reservoir with a capacity of up to 4.5 litres. The growing medium and the water reservoir are separated by a drainage screen. An integrated wicking basket allows the growing medium to absorb moisture from the lower section. This means the plant can still draw on a water supply even when the top layer of soil has already begun to dry out. For outdoor use, excess water can be drained away via the base drain. When used indoors, the drain should be sealed with the plug and the water level monitored. A water level indicator makes it easier to gauge the remaining supply.

Versatile for use on balconies and terraces

The PLANT TROLLEY can be adapted to changing conditions. For example, plants can:

• moved closer to the sun or into partial shade
• positioned in a sheltered spot in strong winds
• moved to one side to allow the floor to be cleaned
• used as a mobile privacy screen
• easier to move into winter storage in autumn
• repositioned flexibly during a redesign

This flexibility is particularly useful on balconies and smaller terraces, as plant pots often need to be moved around several times a year in these spaces.

Dimensionally stable and suitable for outdoor use

This thick-walled planter is designed for use both indoors and outdoors. The material is UV-resistant, frost-resistant and dimensionally stable. The planter is available in white and dark grey. The larch trellis adds a natural touch and creates a deliberate contrast to the clean lines of the planter.
