Ponga pots and troughs

Ponga pots and troughs
Latin name:
Ponga pots and troughs
Common name:
ponga
Keywords:
ponga, pots, troughs, planters, punga

Ponga Pots are rapidly increasing in popularity as a stunning, natural garden or patio feature.
Carved from NZ Native Dicksonia Fibrosa, they are available in a range of shapes and sizes and with two different finished looks - either natural and mossy looking, or with a smoother shaved finish on the outside.
The uses for these are as vast as your imagination - but they're very popular for Vireyas and other plants which like to be contained, and as they absorb huge amounts of water, after a good soaking they can keep a plant moist for long periods of time (ideal for those who aren't so good with regular watering regimes!!).
