Viridian Ceramic Face Planter Pot for Succulents
Description
Description
A sculptural ceramic planter that turns succulents and trailing greenery into living art. Molded with several expressive faces around its surface, this piece brings personality and conversation to a tabletop, shelf, console, or desk. The wide open top accommodates a generous plant, and the faces read as playful rather than kitsch, which lets the planter sit comfortably in a modern room as easily as in a maximalist one.
The body is glazed ceramic, fired for durability and easy to wipe clean. The interior is deep enough for a small root ball with room for soil, and the heavy base keeps it steady even when a trailing plant grows long and leans. Use it for succulents, cacti, jade, string of pearls, or a small pothos whose vines can spill over the faces, or leave it unplanted as a catchall for keys, clips, and small desk clutter.
From Oak Mercer, the Viridian face planter makes a reliable gift for plant people and an easy way to add character to a shelf of plain pots. Check whether your chosen plant needs drainage and use a nursery liner if so. Water sparingly, empty any standing water, and hand wash the exterior with a damp cloth to protect the glaze.

Faces All Around
Several expressive faces are molded into the surface, so the planter looks different from every angle. On a shelf or a console it gives people something to notice and talk about.
Room For A Real Plant
The wide open top takes a generous plant rather than a token succulent, which means trailing greenery can actually spill over the edge. Living art needs room to grow.
Playful, Not Kitsch
The faces are sculptural and calm rather than cartoonish, which is why the piece sits comfortably in a restrained modern room as easily as a maximalist one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What plants suit this planter best?
What plants suit this planter best?
Succulents and trailing greenery are the natural match, and trailing plants look especially good spilling past the faces. The contrast between soft leaves and the sculpted ceramic is the whole appeal.
How big is the opening?
How big is the opening?
The top is wide and open, so it takes a fuller plant than most decorative pots allow. That is what lets it work as a real planter and not only an ornament.
Will it feel too quirky for a minimal room?
Will it feel too quirky for a minimal room?
The faces read as sculptural rather than cartoonish, so one of these on an otherwise plain shelf usually reads as considered. A single expressive object is often what keeps a minimal room from feeling flat.
Can I use it on a desk?

How do I clean the ceramic?
How do I clean the ceramic?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry it afterward, paying attention to the molded contours where dust settles. The faces stay crisp with very little effort.
