Garden Pot Limewash Paint

Quickly create a new variety of colours for your flower pots at your home, balcony, patio or garden without damaging the plants, soil or groundwater.

Paint with colours from season to season, paint everything uniformly or mix up colours.

Your flower pots look better over time, because the paint ages beautifully and develops its own patina.

Suitable for all unsealed planters made of terracotta, concrete or artificial stone.

• Breathable natural paint lets the roots of your plants “breathe” in the flower pots
• Fast, easy application, quick drying
• Matte drying, natural appearance
• Re-paintable, many design options
• Pure mineral vegan product
• Completely free of solvents
• Brush easily cleans with water, no pollution of the groundwater

• Shake well before opening, then stir well
• Transfer to a slightly larger container and make sure all colour pigments are well mixed
• Stir every 2 – 3 minutes
• Briefly clean and moisten the planter pot before painting
• Do not apply paint too thick and stretch out well in all directions
• At first, the colour appears a bit darker and more transparent, this will change after drying
• Once your first coat is dry – after about an hour you can apply subsequent coats, 2–3 coats is recommended
• To wash your brush simply rinse with water, press into shape again, then let dry upright

Over time your colours will develop subtle highs and lows creating a unique and beautiful finish.

You can change the colour for the next season or the next year.

All absorbing planters and garden pots can be painted. Glazed or sealed vessels are not suitable.

To test if your pot is absorbent simply apply some water to the surface and observe how the water is either absorbed into the surface or is rejected.

This depends on how often the pot is watered and what soil type is used. Usually the paint will last for a season or so and can then very quickly and easily reapplied, sanded back or a new colour applied on top.

Over time your pots will develop an interesting patina.

We do not recommend to do so. A breathable surface is better for the root system of your plants. It will also be easier to re-apply some paint for the next season.

Garden Pot paint should be stored in a airtight container, frost free, away from direct sunlight and out of reach from children.

Generally the paint should be used up within 6 months of purchase date. Many colours will store much longer, depending on the pigments the paint is made of.
