At The Sculpted Flames, we believe that sustainability goes beyond creating eco-friendly candles. Our jesmonite candle containers, with their beautiful sculpted designs, are ideal for reuse once the candle has burned down. In particular, we love transforming them into planters for small houseplants. The natural, handcrafted appearance of our containers fits effortlessly into a nature-inspired decor, making them both practical and decorative.
Flynn Jar (7 oz, 2.625" diameter, 3.5" height)
The Flynn Jar's size is perfect for small, low-maintenance plants that thrive in more compact spaces. Whether you're decorating a small desk, windowsill, or side table, these plant options are ideal for the Flynn Jar:
Succulents like Echeveria or Haworthia, which only need occasional watering.
Air Plants (Tillandsia), requiring no soil, offer a clean and modern look.
Miniature Cacti, adding a sculptural element with their distinct shapes.
Pothos or Philodendron Cuttings, offering a trailing effect that complements the jar's design.
Ridge Jar (5.5" diameter, 4.75" height)
With more room for roots, the Ridge Jar is ideal for a broader selection of plants, offering a striking combination of style and function:
Small Ferns like Maidenhair or Bird’s Nest, creating a lush, full appearance.
Pothos, known for their hardy nature and ability to cascade over the pot’s edge.
Snake Plant (Sansevieria 'Hahnii'), adding height and a modern aesthetic.
Herbs like basil or thyme for a practical, aromatic touch that enhances your kitchen or workspace.
Ouli Jar (9 oz, 3.125" diameter, 2.75" height)
The Ouli Jar's shallow depth makes it an ideal candidate for small plants with compact root systems. Some great plant choices include:
Succulents like Aloe Vera or Lithops, which thrive with minimal soil.
Miniature Ivy for a touch of greenery that spills gracefully over the jar.
Baby Jade Plant, a slow-growing succulent that fits well in this smaller container.
New Silicone Mold Jar (21 oz, 4.25" diameter, 5" height)
For those looking to make a statement with larger plants, the New Silicone Mold jar offers ample space:
ZZ Plant, a low-maintenance option that adds vertical height and striking green leaves.
Peace Lily, known for its dark leaves and elegant white blooms.
Herbs like rosemary or lavender, which thrive in the jar’s larger capacity.
Tulip Silicone Planter (3.5" diameter)
The tulip-shaped jar is perfect for accentuating smaller plants, especially those with vibrant colors or cascading growth:
String of Pearls, a trailing succulent that drapes beautifully over the jar.
Miniature Cacti for a striking, low-maintenance aesthetic.
Fittonia (Nerve Plant) with its colorful, patterned leaves that contrast beautifully with the tulip shape.
The Sculpted Flames jesmonite candle containers are not only a stylish addition to any home decor but also serve as ideal planters once their original purpose is fulfilled. Whether you opt for succulents, air plants, or ferns, these containers encourage a sustainable lifestyle and promote the beauty of reusing everyday items.
