Best Plants for CLASSICO Premium
With generous planting capacity and a substantial water reservoir, CLASSICO Premium is especially attractive for larger houseplants and ornamental displays. Excellent options include:
- Fiddle Leaf Fig: An attractive statement plant for bright indoor spaces, especially when grown in an appropriately sized root ball.
- Monstera: Large tropical leaves create an impressive display in living rooms and offices.
- Dracaena: Upright foliage adds architectural interest to contemporary interiors.
- Palms: Appropriately sized palms create lush tropical displays indoors or outdoors in suitable climates.
- Compact Citrus Trees: Dwarf lemons, limes, and other container-grown citrus can make attractive patio plants in climates with suitable winter protection.
- Outdoor Shrubs: Compact hydrangeas, boxwoods, and other container-friendly shrubs in appropriately sized arrangements.
- Seasonal Flower Displays: Large combinations of flowering annuals, foliage, and trailing plants.
Planting Tip: Choose plants based on their current root size, mature growth, and growing conditions. For container-grown trees and shrubs, consider their eventual size, wind exposure, and winter root protection. The recommended maximum plant heights are approximately 55 inches for size 60 and 67 inches for size 70.
How the Self-Watering System Works
CLASSICO Premium uses LECHUZA's integrated sub-irrigation system. The reservoir stores water beneath the growing medium, helping established plant roots access moisture as needed.
- Prepare Your Planter: Assemble the included irrigation system and add the supplied LECHUZA-PON drainage substrate according to the instructions.
- Add Your Plant: Position the plant in the growing area, then fill around its roots with an appropriate potting medium.
- Establish the Roots: Water from above for approximately 2-3 weeks, checking the growing medium regularly while roots develop.
- Begin Reservoir Watering: Fill the water reservoir halfway initially. If the water level decreases during the following days, follow LECHUZA's instructions for filling to the maximum level.
- Allow a Dry Phase: Monitor the water level indicator and allow an appropriate dry period before refilling, based on your plant's moisture requirements.
Outdoor Use: Remove the drainage screw to allow excess rainwater to escape. Watering frequency depends on the plant, sunlight, temperature, and growing conditions. Frost-resistant construction does not guarantee winter survival for plants grown in containers.
Complete Your Planter With LECHUZA-PON
Every CLASSICO Premium planter includes LECHUZA-PON mineral substrate for its drainage layer. If you'd prefer to use a mineral growing medium throughout the planting area, consider purchasing additional LECHUZA-PON Mineral Potting Mix . Its blend of pumice, lava, and zeolite helps support healthy root aeration, balanced moisture retention, and excellent drainage.
Growing citrus or palms? LECHUZA CITRUSPON and PALMPON are specialized alternatives for those plants. Standard LECHUZA-PON remains a versatile general-purpose choice.
Shop LECHUZA-PON →Additional substrate sold separately. The included PON is sufficient for the manufacturer's specified drainage layer; filling the entire planting area with mineral substrate requires more. Suitable conventional potting soil can also be used.
Optional Rolling Coaster for Easier Movement
Large planters can become heavy when filled with plants, growing medium, and water. A compatible LECHUZA rolling coaster can make repositioning easier for cleaning, decorating, or seasonal changes.
Please Note: Rolling coasters are optional and sold separately. Select the coaster specifically designed for your CLASSICO planter size, and follow its weight and surface requirements.
