Urbalive High Planter 780mm - Scandinavian Self-Watering Designer Pot

Urbalive High Planter 780mm - Scandinavian Self-Watering Designer Pot

The Urbalive High Planter is an exceptionally tall, elegant, and modern planting solution perfect for enhancing premium interiors, commercial foyer spaces, or covered terraces. Conceived by award-winning Czech designer Jiří Pelcl, its unique architectural design embraces a striking Scandinavian aesthetic. It features a beautifully contoured designer pot supported by long, sustainably sourced FSC-certified wooden legs, elevating your plants significantly to a highly comfortable viewing and maintenance height of 780mm.

Built using Plastia's world-class expertise in sub-irrigation technology, this system ensures your indoor plants, flowers, herbs, and small vegetables receive a highly consistent, regulated moisture supply via integrated capillary wicking tapes. Optimised for modern urban living, the clean structural profile integrates seamlessly into living rooms, high-ceilinged offices, or sheltered outdoor entertainment areas as a sophisticated mid-century feature piece. The integrated water reservoir, complete with a visual water level indicator, prevents the common pitfalls of overwatering and root rot while reducing watering intervals down to weeks rather than days.

Best For: Interior designers, corporate facilities managers, and home gardeners seeking an award-winning, stylish statement piece that functions as an accessible Scandinavian designer planter for vining foliage, culinary herbs, or striking indoor floral arrangements.

Key Features:

• Commanding 780mm Elevation Profile: Standing on sturdy structural legs, this designer pot offers effortless, back-friendly standing access while raising your botanical collections to optimal eye-level viewing heights.
• Advanced Capillary Self-Watering System: Utilises a precision-engineered reservoir matrix and wicking tapes to draw moisture evenly into the root zone as required, drastically cutting down on daily watering demands.
• Visual Water Level Indicator: Takes the guesswork out of plant care with a built-in float indicator that clearly displays the internal reservoir volume, preventing accidental underwatering or fatal overwatering.
• Award-Winning Scandinavian Aesthetic: Designed by Jiří Pelcl, the harmonious blend of a sleek, minimalist polymer designer pot and natural timber provides a timeless mid-century look that complements any upscale contemporary interior.
• FSC-Certified Timber Legs: The premium hardwood support legs are sourced entirely from responsibly managed, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forests.
• Versatile Crop and Foliage Compatibility: Accommodates an expansive variety of indoor flora, including massive structural Monstera varieties, trailing devil's ivy, compact kitchen herbs, or ornamental patio crops.

Primary Cultivation & Field Applications

• High-Impact Floral & Foliage Showcases: Elevating large or hanging indoor house plants, such as Pothos or Philodendrons, allowing their vining trails to drape elegantly down the timber legs from the designer pot basin.
• Kitchen Herb Micro-Farming: Setting up an ergonomic, waist-height culinary herb station right inside a bright kitchen corner or well-lit dining bay for fresh daily harvesting.
• Zoned Architectural Screening: Arranging multiple high planters in series to establish lush, living privacy partitions or structural acoustic baffles in open-plan offices and residential spaces.

Pro Tip & Sub-Irrigation Water Management: When planting out your Urbalive High Planter for the first time, it is crucial to remember that the self-watering wicking action relies on established root contact. For the initial 4 to 6 weeks, water your new plants traditionally from the top surface to keep the fresh potting mix evenly moist while the root systems grow down to meet the capillary wicking tapes.

Once the roots reach the reservoir threshold, simply monitor the visual float indicator and fill the sub-surface tank via the designated fill port. Always allow the reservoir to dry out completely for a few days between refills to ensure the soil profile undergoes a healthy oxygenation cycle.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
