Flower Pot H-400 mm for Catering Worktops

A stainless steel flower pot designed for integration into catering worktops provides a stable, hygienic base for herbs, garnishes or small edible plants. The unit sits flush with the work surface, allowing chefs to snip fresh leaves or petals directly at the point of plating without leaving the preparation area.

The principle is simple: a shallow, rectangular container holds compost or a hydroponic medium, while its open top exposes the plants to light and air. Roots spread within the confined space, and the metal walls conduct heat from the kitchen environment, encouraging steady growth. Drainage holes at the base prevent waterlogging, and the low profile keeps the centre of gravity close to the worktop, reducing the risk of tipping.

To use the pot, fill it with the chosen growing medium, plant the seeds or cuttings, and position it on the worktop. A small tap or hose connection at the rear allows controlled watering without disturbing the soil. Regular trimming of the plants maintains the desired size, and the open design makes it easy to monitor root health and moisture levels.

The construction is a single sheet of stainless steel, folded and welded into a seamless tray. The 400 mm height creates a compact volume that fits beneath standard overhead shelves and extractor hoods, while the 920 mm length spans the width of a typical workstation, offering enough space for multiple herb varieties side by side.

Cleaning is straightforward: remove the plants and medium, then wipe the interior with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The smooth welds and absence of crevices prevent soil and moisture from becoming trapped, reducing the risk of bacterial growth. After drying, the pot is ready for refilling.
