Mini Planter Pots, Series 2 (Set of 3)

Say hello to Series 2 of the mini planter pots – three little textured planters sharing a clever trick. Each features a snug insert with drainage holes that lift straight out for watering cleaning or repotting. Choose your favourite finish: a dimpled shell resembling tiny seeds a ribbed shell with smooth stacked rings or a bobbled shell like a cluster of berries. Printed in place, the shell and insert detach from the plate ready to use without gluing or fiddly assembly – a lovely quick win for beginners.

These planters work brilliantly for succulents cacti or any small desk plant needing minimal root space. The lift-out insert allows easy swapping of plants without disturbing the display piece and makes cleaning up spilled soil much easier. Experiment with contrasting colours for a fun two-tone look or keep it subtle with tone-on-tone shades. They also make a lovely gift set when printed in all three textures.

Filament Colour & Material

PLA is the easy choice here since these are indoor desk and shelf pieces, though PETG works well too if the pot will see more moisture or a sunnier windowsill. The photographed set uses grass green with a white insert, cobalt blue with a yellow insert, and a deep red with an orange insert, all of which give a nice pop of contrast between shell and liner, but any two tone pairing works well.
