Divider Trough Pots

As the name suggests, the Divider Trough is purpose-built for dividing and defining spaces — think privacy screens, garden zone separators, balcony barriers, and walkway borders. Its tall, narrow profile (the larger size reaches 105cm high) means it functions more like a living wall panel than a traditional planting trough. Where standard troughs sit low to the ground and work horizontally, the Divider Trough works vertically, creating height and greenery exactly where you need it.

The 72×23×63cm ($399) is the more compact option, well-suited to smaller balconies, courtyard borders, window plantings, and narrow walkways where a full-height screen isn't needed. The 90×39×105cm ($699) is the statement piece — at 105cm tall it delivers serious screening height and suits larger outdoor zones, property boundaries, pool surrounds, and commercial landscaping. For maximum screening impact, line multiple large Divider Troughs end-to-end to create a seamless green wall effect.

Fast-growing upright plants are the best performers. Top choices for Australian gardens include clumping bamboo (non-invasive varieties like Bambusa textilis), Lilly Pilly (Syzygium species), Photinia 'Red Robin', Murraya paniculata, Viburnum, and slender-form conifers. For a more tropical feel, tall Cordylines or Bird of Paradise work beautifully. For the smaller size, ornamental grasses like Lomandra or compact hedging plants like Box (Buxus) are excellent. Choose plants whose mature height aligns with the trough — the larger 105cm pot pairs best with plants that will ultimately reach 150cm or more.

Yes, and this is one of their most popular applications. The lightweight fibre-resin construction makes them significantly more practical for elevated spaces than concrete or stone alternatives of similar size. That said, always check your balcony's load-bearing rating before installing large planted troughs — even lightweight pots become substantial once filled with soil and a mature plant. For rooftop and high-rise balcony use, a lightweight potting mix (such as one blended with perlite or coir) helps keep overall weight manageable without compromising plant health.

The pot itself requires minimal upkeep — wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust or grime; the smooth stone resin finish doesn't rust, fade, or degrade in outdoor conditions. For the planting, regular feeding with a slow-release fertiliser at the start of spring and autumn keeps hedging and screening plants dense and lush. Trim or prune as needed to maintain the shape and density of your screen. Ensure adequate watering, especially in warmer months — tall narrow troughs can dry out faster than wider pots, so a drip irrigation system or self-watering insert is worth considering for low-maintenance setups.
