Squat Congo

Squat Congo pots are shorter, wide planters inspired by traditional African pottery shapes. They’re popular for succulents, cacti, and other small-to-medium houseplants because their broad footprint offers stability and a flattering, modern-to-rustic aesthetic.

• Wide surface area is great for shallow-rooted plants.

• Provides stability for top-heavy or columnar plants when compared with tall narrow pots.

• Group several sizes together for a sculptural display.

• Use gravel, pumice, or decorative rocks on the surface to complement the pot’s low profile.

• Combine with taller planters or stands to create visual height contrast in arrangements.

• Versatile in interior design—works with modern, boho, rustic, and desert-style décors.

Short, sturdy, and stylish—squat Congo pots are perfect when you want a low-slung vessel that shows off rosettes, small cacti, and mixed arrangements without stealing the spotlight.
