Which CUBICO Color Size Should You Choose?
- CUBICO Color 22: Ideal for compact houseplants, smaller flowering displays, and narrow spaces. Provides decorative height without taking up much floor space.
- CUBICO Color 30: A versatile option for medium-sized houseplants, upright foliage, and colorful patio arrangements.
- CUBICO Color 40: Best for larger tropical foliage, fuller arrangements, and container-friendly shrubs. Offers the most root space and tallest display in the Color collection.
Best Plants for CUBICO Color
The tall, narrow design pairs beautifully with upright, architectural plants and compact flowering arrangements.
- Snake Plants: Upright foliage complements the clean lines of the planter. Allow appropriate dry periods.
- Dracaena: Attractive architectural foliage for modern living rooms and offices.
- Peace Lilies: Lush foliage and white blooms create an elegant indoor display.
- Philodendron: Compact upright or bushy varieties add tropical greenery.
- Ornamental Grasses: Smaller fountain grasses and sedges add movement to patio arrangements.
- Seasonal Flowers: Geraniums, begonias, petunias, and other container-friendly annuals.
- Compact Evergreens: Appropriately sized dwarf boxwoods or small evergreen shrubs, especially in the larger CUBICO 40.
Planting Tip: CUBICO's tall exterior does not mean the entire planter is filled with soil. Planting depth ranges from 7 to 11 inches. Choose plants that fit the removable liner and avoid oversized or top-heavy specimens. Protect container-grown perennial roots from severe winter temperatures.
Easy Planting With a Removable Liner
CUBICO Color includes a removable planting liner with convenient carrying handles. Prepare your plant arrangement on a potting table, then lower the liner into the decorative outer planter. This makes repotting, seasonal displays, and moving plants easier.
Compatible Liners: The CUBICO 30 liner also fits compatible LECHUZA TRIO 30 planters. The CUBICO 40 liner is compatible with select CUBE 40, CUBICO Alto, and TRIO 40 models. Confirm compatibility before exchanging liners.
How the Self-Watering System Works
- Prepare the Planter: Assemble the self-watering components and add the included LECHUZA-PON mineral drainage layer.
- Add Your Plant: Place the plant into the removable liner with a suitable growing medium and gently fill around the roots.
- Establish the Roots: Water from above during the initial establishment period, generally around 2-3 weeks, while checking the growing medium for moisture.
- Begin Reservoir Watering: Once the roots are established, fill the reservoir according to LECHUZA's instructions and monitor the water level indicator.
- Monitor and Refill: Allow an appropriate dry phase between refills based on the plant's specific needs.
Outdoor Use: Remove the drainage screw so excess rainwater can escape. Self-watering reduces manual watering, but frequency varies with plant type, temperature, sunlight, and weather conditions.
Complete Your Planter With LECHUZA-PON
Every CUBICO Color planter includes LECHUZA-PON for its drainage layer. If you'd like to grow in mineral substrate throughout the planting area, consider additional LECHUZA-PON Mineral Potting Mix . Its blend of pumice, lava, and zeolite supports drainage, root aeration, and balanced moisture retention.
Growing outdoor container plants? LECHUZA TERRAPON is another option formulated for outdoor arrangements. Standard PON is a versatile choice for many indoor foliage plants.
Shop LECHUZA-PON →Additional substrate sold separately. LECHUZA-PON for the drainage layer is already included. Suitable conventional potting soil can also be used.
