The Cara pot exudes contemporary Mediterranean charm. Wide, grounded and generously open, it sits low with a confident, bowl-like form that immediately draws the eye and occupies the space around it with a commanding sense of style.
Its broad rim sweeps outwards in a gentle curve, giving a sense of calm expansion, while the relatively shallow height will keep your potted plant choices anchored, protected and presented as deliberate sculptural focal pieces.
Available here at our nursery in Bone White, Maril 20 and Black and with finishes of lightly brushed, heavily dragged or dimpled texture, the surfaces catch light with striking intent. In terms of scale, the large has a diameter of 150cm and the small, 108cm. Ample scope for accompanying planting.
You can pair the Cara with a range of bold and dramatic specimens. You could choose something aptly mediterranean like an olive, an exotic palm with a glorious canopy, a sculpted pine or a more fountainesque composition of grasses and perennials. It works particularly well in contemporary courtyards or structured terraces where horizontal form softens architectural lines.
If you are looking to further refine the size, finish or design we can help you with this, too. Contact us to help create a truly personal finish for you.

What materials are used in crafting Cara Pot from Torc Pots at Architectural Plants?
Our Cara Torc Pots here at Architectural Plants are made from ‘eco-crete’ and natural materials. ‘Eco-crete mixture’ means they substitute up to 15% of the cement content with silica - a bi-product of the steel and power industries. This increases the overall strength of the pot, improves sulphate resistance, decreases permeability and reduces the water requirement. They also use a percentage of glass sand which comes from recycled bottles. Each pot is crafted with environmental responsibility in mind.
Is the Cara Pot from Torc Pots at Architectural Plants suitable for outdoor use year-round?
Definitely. The Cara Torc Pot is designed for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Is the Cara Pot from Torc Pots at Architectural Plants handmade?
Yes, every Cara Torc Pot is individually handmade, each pot carefully shaped by hand with organic and contemporary forms to last a lifetime.
How do I look after my Cara Pot from Torc Pots at Architectural Plants?
Your Cara Torc Pot will be easy to take care of if you heed the following advice:
Removing Packaging Immediately: It is essential that all packaging is removed from the pot as soon as you take delivery. It is possible that the pot could become stained if the packaging is left on – wet packaging encasing a pot definitely has the potential to stain.
Using Rubber Feet: Once your Cara Torc pot is in place, you should use the rubber feet we have provided to place underneath it. This will elevate the pot slightly off the floor to help drainage water run away from the pot and reduce the risk of staining around the base. It is important to keep the drainage hole in the bottom of the pot free from blockage to enable your plants to flourish.
Avoiding Harsh Cleaners: Please do not apply any harsh cleaning products to the pot as this could mark or damage the finish – particularly the metallic finishes. Water and a sponge will suffice to clean off any marks that will inevitably occur from time to time being an outdoor dweller!
Care for Metallic and Verdigris Finishes: Some of the finishes we offer are metallic and/or verdigris and these need to be treated in the same manner as the other members of the Torc family of pots e.g. gentle cleaning with water and a sponge.
Saucers for Indoor Pots: If your pot is intended to live indoors, we offer a range of saucers to sit the pot on, and this can be colour and texture matched to your Torc pot.
Understanding Patina on Metallic Finishes: Please note that our metallic finishes are achieved by using metal powders. As a result, they will patina over time, and therein lies the beauty.
What makes the Cara Pot from Torc Pots at Architectural Plants unique?
The Cara pot can be crafted in any colour or finish, all of which require the expert application of a range of different mixtures and techniques. Often, some very special and additional creative work is undertaken to make these unique; this means each pot takes considerably more time to perfect in contrast to many other company's factory processes. This is a key reason why Torc Pots are perfect for our collection here at Architectural Plants.
It is important to note that due to the handmade nature of each product, the textures and patinas cannot be exactly replicated- one-of-a-kind. Your pots are going to be completely unique, not like anyone else's.
