You should carefully consider the selection of plants for your garden, in order to ensure that you do not plant invasive alien plants. These are plants that are not indigenous to South Africa. They tend to grow faster than our indigenous plants and can easily take over. They also take up precious water, nutrients and light which is more needed by our native plants.

Many of us have invasive exotic plants in our gardens, such as lantana, pipe grass, cat’s claw creepers, privets (ligustrum robustum privet), water hyacinths and wattle, jacaranda, pine and seringa trees. Rather opt for indigenous plants in your garden.

Indigenous gardens are not only less expensive, water wise, hardy and proudly South African, but also very versatile. You have thousands of indigenous plants to choose from, which means you can design your garden in a variety of styles, ranging from tropical to bushveld. Another advantage to indigenous gardens is that you will attract birds, insects and animals to your garden; creating your very own ecosystem in your backyard. You will also be contributing to the preservation of our indigenous plants.

Typical indigenous plants that we use include tree aloes, cape aloes, marlothii aloes, honey suckle, clivias, agapanthus, arum lilies, bulbines, wild garlic, acacia trees, olive trees, white stinkwood trees, and indigenous grasses, such as three awn grasses, thatching grass, buffalo grass, broad-leaved turpentine grass, bristle grass, Natal red top grass, red grass and fountain grass.

There are two main methods which you can use to plant your plants into our exclusive range of Cubedec steel décor pots, manufactured by our sister company, Badec Bros Deco.  You can either plant indirectly in plastic liners or stackers, or you can plant directly.

Firstly, we can customize your Cubedec pot according to three different sized plastic liners.  The sizes available are 25cm, 32cm and 55cm in diameter.   We can construct circular rims in your steel pot to ease the adding and removing of the plastic liners.  Therefore, you can change the plants in your pots at any time without any hassle.  Alternatively, we can customize your steel décor pot to suit a square stacker, measuring 28cm in diameter.

For direct planting, we fabricate a 3cm lip at the bottom of the pot and lay a steel plate over that.  Then we drill holes in the steel plate to enable ventilation.  This steel plate also forms the base for your plants.  Firstly, you need to lay down a layer of gravel to facilitate drainage.  Then you can fill your pot with potting soil and plant your selected plant into the pot. 

In the past we have constructed a 1m³ gabion basket, which we planted with trees.  We lined the sides of the basket with weed guard cloth to prevent weeds from sprouting and growing.

This proves once again that Badec Bros Deco manufactures truly versatile products.

Cubedec Mosaic Pots, created by our sister companies, Badec Bros Deco and Badec Bros Mosaic, are manufactured out of 1,6mm mild steel sheets with an inner steel frame comprising 3mm x 30mm steel angle iron for extra strength and support.  All our pots are manufactured with a round inner steel bar to support plastic planters, which come standard with all our pots, unless otherwise specified.  You can choose between three finishes for the inner frame of your custom-made mosaic pot:  rusted, mild steel finish, or powder coating in any colour you can dream of.  This is merely to protect the steel frame of your pot from rusting.

Once the basic steel pot has been constructed, we complete the pot by adhering mosaic tiles onto the steel sides.  We can cover the entire pot with glass, marble or ceramic tiles, or we can only tile the borders with mosaic.  It is completely up to you.

Our range of Mosaic Pots can be customized to any size, and can even be manufactured with adjustable legs as an optional extra.  Cubedec drip trays are also available as elective add-ons and can also be tiled with mosaic.  Please tell us about your ideas and we will bring them to life.  You dream it, we make it!
