At The Balcony Garden, we believe pots are more than just vessels for plants - they’re timeless design pieces that shape the atmosphere of your home and garden. Some of our planters have become true customer favourites, adored for their versatility, craftsmanship, and enduring style. Here, we share our top five most popular pots and styling ideas to keep them looking beautiful through every season.

JITT

Why it’s loved

Short for Junk in the Trunk, this pot’s got attitude. Flared at the base and tapering towards the top, its bold shape makes it impossible to ignore. Whether used as a standalone feature in a large size or grouped as three, JITT always steals the spotlight.

Styling Tips

• Fill JITT with a lush Monstera or Fiddle Leaf Fig for a dramatic statement.

• Group three together with hardy evergreens or sculptural succulents for a structured look.

Chad

Why it’s loved

Chad rides a miniature dirt bike, loiters outside your favourite small-town shopping centre, and looks unashamedly like the offspring of Kid Rock. As the largest pot in our Bad Names Range, Chad really knows how to make an entrance and will likely be the first of his mates to get a tattoo. Handcrafted in Thailand from clay using centuries-old methods, no two Chads are ever the same.

Styling Tips

• Pair Chad with tropical heroes like palms or Heliconias to match his oversized personality.

• Use as a bold anchor piece with architectural plants like Yucca or Cycads.

Modern Urn

Why it’s loved

A modern interpretation of ancient design, the Modern Urn is timeless yet minimal. Its heavy base and subtle collar ground it with substance, while its gentle curves bring softness. Available in four sizes, it’s designed to be mixed, matched, and clustered with ease.

Styling Tips

• Plant flowering favourites such as Hydrangeas or Bougainvillea for classic charm.

• Style with evergreen topiary or Buxus for year-round sophistication.

Ribbed Loob

Why it’s loved

The cheeky cousin of our golden child, the Loob, this design has ribbed detail and playful character. Available in three heights, the Ribbed Loob is perfect for creating clusters that feel dynamic and full of texture.

Styling Tips

• Combine the three heights with a mix of trailing vines, flowering plants, and bold foliage for a layered look.

• Keep things simple with Philodendrons or hardy indoor plants to carry greenery through the cooler months.

The Chop

Why it’s loved

The Chop is the shorter, fatter cousin of the Straight Up pot. With its wide rim and low profile, it’s perfect for feature trees and mass planting. A true all-rounder, it makes a strong base for bold plantings in any setting.

Styling Tips

• Use The Chop for Citrus Trees or a full display of Lavender for fragrance and colour.

• Fill with a large Bird of Paradise for a tropical statement.
