Bamboo Ferris Wheel Stand with Six Ceramic Pots

Six pots on one stand means six plants on one watering schedule, which is the only way a display like this survives past the first month. Pick plants that want the same thing and it works. Mix a fern in with five succulents and you will be watering one plant and drowning the others.

This is a bamboo ferris wheel holding six glazed porcelain pots, each hanging on a pivot so it stays upright as the wheel turns.

Size

• Stand: 9.1 x 6.9 x 12.2 in (23 x 17.5 x 31 cm)
• Each pot: 2.8 x 2 x 2 in (7 x 5 x 5 cm)
• Complete set: 3.5 lb (1600 g)

The wheel stands 12.2 in (31 cm) tall, about the height of a small table lamp, and each pot is roughly the width of an espresso cup. That is the honest scale: mini succulents, small cacti, and tabletop bonsai. A plant from a garden center in a plastic pot will not drop in without repotting.

• Six glazed porcelain pots, drainage hole in each
• Pots pivot, so turning the wheel does not tip the soil out
• Bamboo base with a metal wheel
• Ships as six planters and one stand

Good to know

Every pot drains and none of them has a tray, and they are all hanging over your desk. Take a pot off its pivot, water it at the sink, let it finish dripping, and hang it back. Do it in place once and you will not do it twice.

The wheel turning is a genuine advantage rather than a gimmick: the pots on the sunny side get the light for a few days, then you turn it and the others take a turn. Succulents lean toward a window otherwise, and a leaning succulent never straightens up again.
