Isabella Planter

The Isabella Planter from The Tarva is more than just a plant container—it is a piece of history, art, and sustainability combined. Handcrafted from food-grade porcelain, the Isabella comes in a variety of bright, tropical colors designed to bring life to any corner of your home. With a drainage hole and matching saucer, it blends practicality with elegance, making it an excellent choice for plant lovers of all levels.

Available in three versatile sizes—small (5–6”), medium (6–8”), and large (8–12”)—the Isabella Planter is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether you’re decorating a sunny balcony, adding greenery to your office, or creating a statement indoors, the Isabella adapts beautifully.

Inspired by Dr. Isabella Abbott

Every planter at The Tarva carries a story. The Isabella Planter is named in honor of Dr. Isabella Abbott (1919–2010), a groundbreaking ethnobotanist from Hawaii. Known as the “First Lady of Limu” for her pioneering marine algae research, Dr. Abbott was the first native Hawaiian to earn a PhD in science and the first woman of color to become a biology professor at Stanford University.

Her work highlighted the importance of indigenous knowledge and cultural wisdom in modern science. Much like Dr. Abbott’s legacy, the Isabella Planter stands as a symbol of strength, resilience, and connection with nature.

Elegant Design with Practical Functionality

The Isabella Planter was designed to strike the perfect balance between beauty and usability. Its sleek porcelain body is complemented by tropical hues that fit seamlessly into modern and traditional interiors.

But the Isabella isn’t just about looks—its drainage hole and matching saucer protect your plants from overwatering, ensuring healthier root systems and easier care. This thoughtful design makes it ideal for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts.

Sizes That Fit Every Space

The Isabella Planter comes in three practical sizes to suit a wide variety of plants:

• Small (5–6 inches): Perfect for succulents, herbs, or compact plants that thrive on windowsills and desktops.
• Medium (6–8 inches): Great for popular indoor plants such as money plants, snake plants, or small flowering varieties.
• Large (8–12 inches): Spacious enough for statement plants like fiddle leaf figs, monsteras, or peace lilies.

This versatility makes the Isabella a must-have for plant parents who enjoy experimenting with different greenery in different spaces.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Each Isabella Planter is handmade by skilled artisans, making every piece unique. The food-grade porcelain not only ensures durability but also offers a refined, premium feel. Its tropical colors are carefully chosen to bring warmth and vibrancy into any home or garden.

The handmade quality guarantees that no two Isabella Planters are exactly the same, turning every purchase into a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Indoor and Outdoor Versatility

The Isabella Planter is designed for both indoor and outdoor living. Indoors, it becomes a centerpiece on shelves, side tables, or countertops. Outdoors, it brightens patios, balconies, and gardens with its tropical aesthetic.

Because it is made from porcelain, the planter withstands regular use but should be moved inside during extreme cold conditions to ensure longevity.

Plants That Thrive in the Isabella Planter

The Isabella Planter is adaptable to a wide range of plants thanks to its drainage system and available sizes. Popular options include:

• Herbs: Basil, mint, or tulsi for your kitchen.
• Succulents & cacti: Minimal-care plants that look stunning in small sizes.
• Flowering plants: African violets, begonias, or kalanchoes for a splash of color.
• Foliage plants: Ferns, pothos, or philodendrons for lush greenery.
• Large décor plants: Monstera deliciosa or peace lilies in the large size.
