Bobbin Porcelain Modern Hanging Indoor Plant Pot
cache pot
The Bobbin is a 5-inch ceramic hanging planter, named after a bobbin that has sat on an old sewing table in the studio for years and never moved.
It is not a deep story; it is the truest one we have. At five inches across and six tall, the Bobbin holds a trailing plant with room to spill, a pothos, a heartleaf philodendron, or a string of hearts, and it hangs where a plant can fall freely. The finish is matte on top and smooth below, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth. It hangs steady once it is up, and the finish, matte on top and smooth below, gives it a little more interest than a plain pot from the same shelf. It is the kind of planter you stop explaining and simply hang, which is, in the end, the whole point of it.
The name came off a dusty sewing table and never left, which is more than most of our better ideas can say.

- Dishwasher-safe. Can also be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
- The glaze is dipped and kiln-fired — it is sealed, durable, and not looking for trouble. No special cleaning products required.
- For pots with saucers empty the saucer periodically. Standing water in the saucer defeats the purpose of having a drainage hole, which is a thing we feel strongly about.
- Not frost-safe. Designed for indoor use and covered outdoor temperate weather use. Freezing temperatures are not recommended.

The Truest Story We Have
The Ultimate Repotting Guide
For those who have killed a plant. Or several. Or, frankly, many.
Before you put a plant into your new pot, you have to get it out of the nursery pot — a process that ends badly more often than any gardening influencer will admit. We wrote a full guide: when to repot (early spring, and not when you're feeling impulsive in October), which soil to use, how to tell your plant is root-bound, and how to avoid the three mistakes that kill perfectly healthy plants within a week of a well-intentioned repotting.
It is the guide we wish someone had handed us twenty-five years ago. It is written by people who have personally committed most of the errors in it.
