How to choose urban planters for your public spaces ?

Nature in the city is one of the major challenges facing urban development. At Cyria, we believe it's vital ! And we're not the only ones to think so ! The literature on the subject is legion, and everyone agrees that plants are an essential part of the city, not only for the comfort of city dwellers in search of green spaces, but also for the health of residents, the environment and the attractiveness of territories.

It's these convictions that have driven us to contribute to the greening of cities year after year. In particular, by creating a wide range of planters adapted to growing plants in urban environments. But how do you choose your designer planter?

1. Choose the right volume for your urban planter

There's more to plants than meets the eye! Their root systems need to develop just as much as their foliage, and to do so, it's vital to grow them in a suitable container. And to choose the right container, you need to know how to keep the right proportions. The plant should neither be cramped nor drowned in too much space. Opt for a planter with a good base, with a surface area large enough for its height and the mass of your planting, to guarantee it good stability. If this is not the case, you'll need to fix it to the ground.

At Cyria, we offer a wide range of designer planters in all sizes, and we're among the biggest volume suppliers on the market. To meet the needs and constraints of every urban project, our containers are designed for maximum flexibility.

2. Choose a tree tray made of resistant materials

For use in urban spaces, it's best to choose a planter made from solid materials! At Cyria, we've opted for steel containers that stand up to the rigors of urban use: powder-coated steel with its Zalkyon® anti-corrosion treatment, Corten steel with its natural protective patina, and stainless steel, passivated and polished. 100% recyclable, resistant and low-maintenance, these materials were selected for their strength and durability after extensive workshop testing.

Are you looking for a solid planter that will stand the test of time, despite the rigors of the urban environment? You can rely on our materials: they won't let you down!

3. Careful irrigation of your urban flowering furniture

Water management is the key factor in the success of soilless cultivation in urban environments. Our care system BYOPLAN® ensures optimal plant development, while reducing watering frequency, maintenance requirements and water consumption. Most of our growers and planters can be fitted with our BYOPLAN® care system, check the technical data sheet for your preferred product.
