What is "FRP" ?

FRP stands for Fibre Reinforced Polymer, also called fibreglass, because it has fibre mesh made of soft glass & Resin. Fibreglass is a wonderful medium for making planters as it has good tensile strength, lends itself to myriad shapes & textures, allows feasible limited production & is not at all brittle.

Why buy FRP Pots/ Planters?

A lot of people are realising that the pots/ planters for their loved (& expensive) plants are not ideal; especially when they have large plants, & also in sophisticated interiors. Terracotta planters & cement planters are brittle, prone to flaking, need more watering & maintenance & most importantly, are just not suitable/ available as jumbo planters. Plastic roto-molded planters are too “plastic” & are available in limited finishes, limited shapes (resembling buckets or drums) & limited sizes only. Brass pots have limited applications & need a lot of care & maintenance. Only Stone planters come close to FRP Planters in the above parameters but they are very heavy, come in only “stone” look & are prohibitively expensive.

FRP planters are the preferred choice, especially for larger planters because they are relatively light weight, have a long life, are break resistant, are maintenance free & are available in a variety of finishes. Oxygen to roots is provided by mixing some coco-peat to the soil to make it porous or by using a separate terracotta pot inside.
