Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Hourglass Plant Pot work?
The base is magnetic and the sand contains iron filings. The magnetic field pulls the filings into spiky shapes that look a little like a cactus or succulent, so the effect is an optical illusion of a plant.
What is it made of?
It is made of glass, iron filings and aluminium. The transparent glass holds the coloured filings, while the pot-shaped metal base provides the magnet effect.
What size is it and which colours are offered?
It measures 19 cm by 7.2 cm. The base is available in grey or copper, and it suits a desk, window sill or bedside table.
Can it replace a real plant?
It can stand in for one as a decoration, or sit alongside your real plants as an extra feature. It does not need watering, and its spiky shapes are formed by magnetism rather than growth.

the kids were over the moon when they saw this! it’s not only decorative but a brilliant little science gadget as well. we’ve been having fun turning it over and watching the green sand trickle through. a fascinating way to spark curiosity about time and nature.
Tom Harris –
quite liked the plant pot design, but the instructions were only in French, which was a bit of a hassle. also, expected it to be a tad larger. nice looking overall, but could improve.
Dave Wilson –
this pot is pretty cool, I’ve got a soft spot for anything science-themed. blends nicely with my cactus collection on the shelf. only thing is, it was a bit of a fiddle to clean when some soil got in the sand bit. but hey, adds character!
Sarah Blake –
lovely little piece, my grandson was quite intrigued by the green sand! he couldn’t stop smiling. if only it came in different sand colours, then it’d be five stars for sure.

Bought the hourglass plant pot for my grandson. Kept him mesmerised for hours, watching the green sand flow. Fab addition to his plant display.
Marcus Grant –
This unique pot caught my eye with its intriguing design. Green sand creates a lovely illusion as it pours down the receptacle. Managed to blend perfectly with my other plants, looking spot on amongst them. Quite pleased with how organised it appears.
