Gaia | Architectonic elegance

Designed in Denmark by celebrated pottery Bergs, Gaia reimagines the classic 'Melon Pot' with a sleek, square silhouette. Crafted of the highest quality terracotta from Tuscany and designed with discreet corner feet for an illusion of weightlessness, this pot is a statement of contemporary sophistication.

Potted to thrive

Each pot and plant pairing is thoughtfully curated to complement the plant’s natural beauty, but our approach doesn’t stop at aesthetics. Pots, substrates, and toppers play a critical role in the health and longevity of your plant, which is why we pot every plant by hand in our London greenhouse. Take a look at what’s going on inside.

BASALTIC LAVA STONES (BLACK)

Decorative topper improves moisture retention, deters pests, and enhances visual appeal.

FELT SEPARATOR

Separates decorative topper from potting soil and prevents pests burrowing into the soil.

PREMIUM SOIL MIX

Custom Shoots blend includes coconut coir, wood fibre, perlite, and Crotodur 31-0-0 (slow-release nitrogen).

VULCAPONIC ROCK MIXTURE

Coarse mixture with lava, pumice, and zeolites that absorb water and gradually release it to the roots.
