Best Plants for PILA Color
PILA Color's square liner provides space for colorful flowers, compact foliage, and seasonal arrangements. Good options include:
- Flowering Annuals: Petunias, begonias, geraniums, and calibrachoa create colorful patio or balcony arrangements.
- Ornamental Grasses: Compact sedges and small ornamental grasses add texture and movement.
- Trailing Foliage: Creeping Jenny, small ivy varieties, and other trailing plants soften the edges.
- Indoor Houseplants: Compact Philodendron, peace lilies, and appropriately sized foliage plants.
- Seasonal Arrangements: Pansies, ornamental foliage, and other compact plants for changing displays.
Planting Tip: PILA Color has approximately 7.9 inches of planting depth. Choose plants with appropriately sized root systems and similar light and moisture needs. For stacked displays, avoid heavy or top-heavy arrangements that may affect stability.
Removable Planting Liner
PILA Color includes a removable planting liner with recessed carrying handles. Prepare your arrangement on a work surface, then place the liner into the outer planter. This makes repotting, cleaning, and seasonal changes more convenient without dismantling the entire decorative display.
How the Self-Watering System Works
- Prepare the Planter: Assemble the included irrigation components and add the supplied LECHUZA-PON drainage layer.
- Add Your Plants: Plant into the removable liner using appropriate potting medium.
- Establish the Roots: Water from above for approximately 2-3 weeks, checking moisture while roots establish.
- Use the Reservoir: Once established, add water through the filling system according to LECHUZA's instructions. Monitor the water level indicator.
- Monitor and Refill: Allow a plant-appropriate dry period between refills and adjust watering for the season.
Outdoor Use: Remove the drainage screw to allow excess rainwater to escape. When stacking PILA modules, ensure the arrangement is correctly assembled, stable, and positioned on a level surface.
LECHUZA-PON Drainage Substrate Included
PILA Color includes LECHUZA-PON mineral substrate for the drainage layer. If you'd prefer to use mineral growing medium throughout the entire planting area, or need extra material for repotting, shop LECHUZA-PON Mineral Potting Mix .
