Product Insights
The Cubiko Wall Planter by Umbra, designed by Erica Stevens, is a modular system of four sliding pots in three sizes (two 5-inch cubes, one 6.25-inch cube, and one 14-inch trough) that mount on a steel rail, enabling tiered arrangements and dual use as a wall organizer. Its recycled polypropylene with wood fiber finish masks scratches, and the rust-resistant steel frame with UV-stable plastic is outdoor-rated. Drainage trays and sliding pots allow moisture-zoned care, but the $120 set ($30 per pot) costs about five times more than basic modular planters, and the shallow pot depths (4–6.5 inches) suit only shallow-rooted plants like herbs, not deep-rooted ones.
