Description

🌿 Aroid Pot Cover (10 / 12 / 14 cm)

This is my first published model — if you like it, I would truly appreciate your support with a like.

A minimalist pot cover designed to fit standard nursery pots:
Ø10 cm / Ø12 cm / Ø14 cm

Perfect for aroids and other indoor plants that remain in their inner plastic nursery pots.


🧵 Material & Print Notes

I printed my own pots using PLA Matte White.

In my personal use, they hold water well even with wick watering systems, and I haven’t experienced leakage. However, final watertightness may vary depending on printer settings, wall thickness, and filament brand.

The model can be printed in PLA or PETG:

PLA:

  • If used only as a decorative outer cover and no water accumulates inside, additional treatment is not required.
  • If used with wick watering, self-watering setups, or in situations where water may collect at the bottom, sealing the inner surface with epoxy resin is recommended.
  • Sealing improves moisture resistance and increases long-term durability.

PETG:

  • No additional sealing is required.
  • PETG offers better inherent moisture resistance and is more suitable for regular water exposure.


⚠️ More

  • This is a pot cover, not a planting container.
  • The plant remains in a nursery pot placed inside.
  • For regular water contact, PETG or sealed PLA is recommended.
