Nothing fancies up a room quite like a cachepot.
Making it pretty, as many a Southern grandma would say.
This traditional decorative planter isnt your basic pot, and thats precisely why Southerners love it.

What Is a Cachepot?
Put simply, a cachepot is a plant pot without a drainage hole in the bottom.
Its derived from the French language, meaning literally hide a pot and pronounced likecash-poe.
No ones the wiser!
Therefore, think of cachepots as more of a way to just display your healthy plants.
No matter where you place a cachepot, the space is instantly upgraded.
In French, cachepot translates to “hide the pot” and is pronounced likecash-poe.
Some prefer to pronounce it colloquially ascash-pot.
Then, you could return the plant to the cachepot once all the excess water has drained.
