The Hanging Disco Ball Planter

The Hanging Disco Ball Planter is a mirror ball with the top cut open and a gold rim set into it, hung on three fine silver chains that meet at a single hook. As a disco ball plant pot it does the ordinary job well enough, but that is not why anyone buys one. Hang this disco ball hanging planter near a window and by the middle of the afternoon the sunlight catching the mirror tiles throws dozens of small bright squares across the wall, the ceiling and the floor, and the whole room starts moving. It turns slowly on its own chain, so the light never sits still. Plant it with something that trails, pothos, ivy, string of pearls, and the leaves spill over the gold rim to soften the ball. At 20cm across this is a large disco ball planter rather than a mini one, so it reads as a real hanging planter in a room instead of a novelty on a shelf.

It arrives ready to hang, chains and hook included, and measures 20cm across by 18cm tall with a 13.5cm opening. The easiest way to use this disco ball plant hanger is to pot your plant in a small nursery pot first and drop that inside the ball, so you can lift it out to water it and keep water off the mirror tiles and the adhesive holding them. Wipe the tiles with a dry cloth only, never a spray. Two honest notes: it is a mirror ball planter, not a self watering one, and the plant is not included. Buy it for what it does to the light at four in the afternoon, and treat the plant as the part that makes it look good the rest of the day.
