The Pot Top Story

Introducing The Pot Top, Fully planted look - No potting required 

What started as a simple idea in our Brisbane backyard has grown into a Patent Pending product and a registered design with IP Australia, and it’s one of our proudest creations - The Pot Top.

Like many plant lovers, we were frustrated by the hassle of filling large outdoor pots with bags of soil, only to find they were too heavy to move and difficult to maintain. And when styling indoor plants, we were constantly improvising with boxes or foam blocks to raise nursery pots - never quite achieving the polished look we wanted.

So we got to work!

Our first prototype was humble, just a cut-up plastic saucer - but it sparked a solution:
A way to elevate plants inside decorative pots without the mess or guesswork. We took that idea and flew to Vietnam, working hands-on with our team of skilled fibreglass artisans to refine the design, and to ensure The Pot Top was strong and durable enough to support even the largest of pot plants - The result is the sleek and smart product we’re proud to offer today.

What is The Pot Top?

The Pot Top is a custom-designed, fiberglass ring that matches and sits on top of your feature pot. It allows you to simply drop your plant still in its nursery pot straight into the central opening, raising the plant to the perfect height — no need to fill the pot with soil or stack awkward risers. Once in place, you can dress the surface with PolyPebbles or moss for a beautifully finished look. It's a cleaner, lighter, and more flexible way to style large pots, indoors or out.

It delivers a polished, elevated finish that matches our fibreglass pot range perfectly, while its universal sizing also allows it to be used with other pots of the same diameter.

Available in 4 popular sizes (40, 50, 60 & 70cm diameters) and two timeless colours - black and white - The Pot Top makes it easier than ever to achieve a designer planted look, inside or out, with minimal effort.

Why We Created It

• No more filling giant pots with soil
  Outdoors, it lets you style your largest pots without the weight, cost, or maintenance of filling them entirely with potting mix.
• Smart indoor styling
  Keep your plant in its nursery grow pot, but give it a finished, fully planted look by raising it to the perfect height and topping it with decorative pebbles - no more hiding boxes, bricks, or foam blocks underneath.

And for the perfect finish? Try our PolyPebbles - lightweight, realistic river stones made from recycled plastic. They look incredible and make lifting the Pot Top even easier.

Other Benefits You’ll Love

• Simplified watering
  Because the plant remains in its nursery pot, care is easier and more controlled - helping prevent overwatering and root rot.
• Effortless relocation
  It’s the only system that allows you to lift the plant and pebbles off together - no more back-breaking moves with heavy, soil-filled pots.
• Pot protection
  With no soil inside your feature pot, it stays cleaner, lasts longer, and won’t be damaged by expanding roots.

We’re excited to introduce you to The Pot Top, exclusively developed by The Pot Place and IP Australia design registered -  From a plastic saucer in the backyard to a sting fibreglass custom-designed solution helping customers style their spaces beautifully and practically.
