Lechuza's New "Rondo" Self-Watering Planter Makes Bold Style Statement

The Rondo's gently contoured column design commands attention while its hidden German engineered self-watering system ensures its plants will be healthy and beautiful.

Cranbury, NJ (PRWEB) August 31, 2010

Lechuza's planters are exceptional for their combination of function, form and convenience and their newest "Rondo" (http://www. lechuza. com/on/demandware. store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Link-Category? cgid=) is no exception. Rising from the floor in a gently contoured round design, the Rondo sets the stage for dramatic plantings that virtually take care of themselves.

The Rondo's finish shines with a ceramic-like beauty or metallic glow while it lifts plants with height that creates an impressive visual focal point in a room or on a deck. There is no denying that this planter can be admired for its beauty alone, but what really makes it exceptional is what lies underneath its striking exterior.

At the heart of every Lechuza planter is a German engineered self-watering system (http://www. lechuza. com/on/demandware. store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Search-Show? cgid=S) that makes growing and maintaining beautiful plants easier than ever before. Inside is a liner that holds the plant, its soil and a layer of a special granular medium that perfectly controls the supply of water to the plant. In the liner is a water reservoir that is filled from the top of the planter via a convenient supply shaft. A water level indicator makes it easy to see when more water is needed. For outdoor use there is a removable drain plug that prevents over-watering during rainy periods.

The Rondo's unique design also makes changing plants a snap. The planter's liner is equipped with recessed handles that make it simple to lift the plant and liner out leaving the exterior behind.

"The Rondo is exceptional not just because it looks great," said Anton Zevenbergen, National Sales Manager for Lechuza. "It is not that difficult to design a beautiful planter, but to design one that looks like this and takes care of the plant for you - that is a tough challenge."

The Rondo stands 32" tall and is 16" in diameter. It is available in either aubergine, pearl-beige, white, black or scarlet red high gloss finishes and is also available in silver charcoal or espresso metallic.

All Lechuza planters are recyclable and the international recycling logo is proudly imbedded on each planter. Plastic waste produced during the manufacturing process is recycled in-house and its subsequent granulated material is re-used in the production of Lechuza's self-watering accessories.
