{"product_id":"terracotta-turtle-planter","title":"Terracotta Turtle Planter — Handcrafted Clay Animal Plant Pot","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn Indian folklore and Vastu tradition, the turtle is often seen as a symbol of stability, patience, and steady growth — fitting qualities for a planter meant to hold something alive and growing. This one shapes that symbolism into a genuinely functional plant pot: a smiling turtle with its head tucked charmingly to one side, its rounded shell carved with a spiral pattern, and a generous planting cavity built into its back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach planter is shaped entirely by hand by artisan potters in Udaipur, using traditional wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques rather than moulds. The turtle's expressive face, its short carved legs, and the concentric spiral pattern across its shell are all added freehand before the piece is air-dried and kiln-fired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs a planter, it carries the practical benefits that make terracotta a favourite material for growing plants: its natural porosity allows excess soil moisture to evaporate gradually through the clay walls, improving airflow to the roots and helping prevent overwatering — well suited to pothos, philodendrons, small ferns, and other plants that enjoy well-aerated soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith its friendly expression and compact, rounded form, it suits a coffee table, side table, or sunny windowsill equally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial — \u003c\/b\u003eNatural terracotta clay, hand-built, kiln-fired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOrigin — \u003c\/b\u003eHandcrafted by artisan potters in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStyle — \u003c\/b\u003eTurtle-shaped planter with hand-carved spiral shell pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBest for — \u003c\/b\u003ePothos, philodendrons, small ferns, coffee\/side table decor, gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA small, steady companion for your plants — patient, and shaped entirely by hand.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soul Of Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50983280673015,"sku":"SOS-078","price":510.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/2968\/7799\/files\/pomelli_photoshoot-2_57701ba9-c381-4e34-a4b2-d4710f99c828.jpg?v=1785933633","url":"https:\/\/www.soulofsoil.art\/en-ae\/products\/terracotta-turtle-planter","provider":"Soul Of Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
