Size 1: 13.2 × 13.2 × 13.0 cm (5.2 × 5.2 × 5.1 in)
Approximate external width × depth × height, measured from the supplied model. The planting bowl is smaller than these overall dimensions. One single-piece planter is included; plants, soil and display accessories are not included. The name “Large Root Planter” is the designer’s model name; please use the measurements to judge the fit.
Need a different size? The listed size is a convenient standard option, not the limit of what we can make. Many designs can be resized in width, height and depth, and their proportions can be adjusted to better fit your enclosure. Small dimensional changes often do not materially affect the price; custom pricing depends on the final dimensions, material use and print time. Message Molten Modern with your enclosure dimensions for a custom quote.

Good to know
-
Anchoring in an aquarium: Bond the base to a flat stone or acrylic sheet with aquarium-safe silicone, or with hot glue or cyanoacrylate superglue specifically suitable for aquarium use. Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s surface preparation and full curing instructions before placing it in the aquarium. Do not drill through the planting bowl or weaken the root supports.
- Measure the inside of your enclosure before ordering, and leave a little room for installation. Allow room around the root legs and use plants suited to the available planting space.
- Some photos show hand-painted examples. This piece ships unpainted in your selected filament colour.
