The CANTO premium 40 high combines the strict geometry of the series with an elegant columnar silhouette that highlights the plant in a stronger visual position. The White High-Gloss version reflects light with a clean, shiny appearance, while the Charcoal Metallic adds a deep, matte metallic character. With a height of 76 cm, it functions as an architectural focal point in a living room, entrance, professional space, balcony, or terrace, without losing its minimalist premium aesthetic.
plant liner approx. 34 × 34 cm · maximum plant height 100 cm.
LECHUZA Classic System
The water stays in the water reservoir. The roots take what they need.
The provided LECHUZA-PON is placed over the separating base and creates the zone that delivers moisture to the roots. Once the initial rooting period is completed, the reservoir is filled through the special filling shaft, and the water-level indicator shows when the water reaches MAX or MIN.
The removable plant liner lifts out of the outer planter body and is easily transported by the built-in handles.
For the first few weeks, water from above, as in a conventional planter.
After rooting, fill the water reservoir from the filling shaft up to the MAX mark.
In an uncovered outdoor area, remove the drain plug so that excess rainwater can drain away.

01
The plant liner lifts out as one piece
The built-in handles allow you to plant, clean, or carry the arrangement without lifting the outer planter body.
02
Calmer summer
The 7 L water reservoir and the water-level indicator reduce watering guesswork and clearly show you when a check is needed.
03
Clear lines, premium finish
The smooth, tall surface gives the plant an elegant architectural base, with a white high-gloss or deep charcoal metallic character.
From planting to self-watering in four steps
The correct start helps the roots fully utilize the Classic System.
01 · Prepare the plant liner
Place the Classic System components and the provided LECHUZA-PON as a base layer in the removable plant liner.
02 · Plant correctly
Add substrate suitable for the plant, leaving the filling shaft and the water-level indicator clear.
03 · Install the liner
Lower the planted plant liner into the CANTO and place the planter on a stable, level surface.
04 · Water in two stages
Initially, water from the top. When the roots reach the moisture zone, you use the water reservoir and the MIN/MAX indicator.
The Premium difference
Smooth surface with a more refined character
The White High-Gloss version reflects light with a clear, shiny appearance, while the Charcoal Metallic offers a deep, matte metallic finish. In both cases, the columnar body remains lightweight, break-resistant, and suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
For hot summer weather
The indicator helps — checking is still necessary
The water reservoir reduces the watering frequency, but consumption varies according to the type of plant, the sun, and the wind. In a heatwave or in a very exposed location, check the indicator and the substrate moisture daily.
Where it fits
01In a spacious entrance, next to a sofa or balcony door and in a bright corner, directly on a solid floor.
02On a balcony, terrace, or professional space, alone or in a symmetrical pair with a strong presence.
03In places where you want vertical emphasis and an elevated display of a richer planting.
What can you plant
01Medium and large indoor plants with upright or bushy growth and final height within the recommended limit.
02Outdoor flowering plants, small ornamental shrubs, perennial compositions, and grasses with compatible needs.
03Herbs or mixed plantings, provided they have similar requirements in light, substrate, and water.

Frequently asked questions
What does the All-in-One Set include?
It includes the CANTO premium 40 high outer planter body, the removable plant liner with integrated handles, the Classic System equipment with a water-level indicator, and LECHUZA-PON for the base layer. The plant and the additional substrate are not included.
Do I fill the reservoir immediately after planting?
For the first few weeks, water from above, until the roots reach the moisture zone. Then you can transition to reservoir watering: fill it about halfway and observe if the level drops in the following days. When the plant starts drawing water, use the filling shaft and the MAX indicator normally.
When do I refill the reservoir?
When the indicator reaches MIN, allow the appropriate dry phase for your plants and then fill up to MAX. Its duration depends on the type, location, temperature, and wind. On very hot days, check the indicator and the substrate moisture daily.
Is it suitable for outdoor use and rain?
Yes. The body is resistant to UV exposure and weather conditions. In uncovered outdoor areas, remove the drain plug so that excess rainwater can escape.
Is the plant liner removable?
Yes. The removable plant liner has built-in handles, allowing it to be planted, cleaned and moved separately from the outer planter body.
What plant height can I use?
LECHUZA specifies a maximum plant height of 100 cm for the CANTO premium 40 high. Choose a plant with a root system suitable for a plant liner approximately 34 × 34 cm and a planting depth of 25 cm.
What is the difference between the two finishes?
The White High-Gloss has a clean, glossy white surface, while the Charcoal Metallic has a deep, matte metallic finish. The dimensions, plant liner, and self-watering system remain the same.
