The Bloem Half Moon is a compact plastic planter that mounts on walls or sits flat on surfaces. At 11 inches wide and holding 0.75 gallons, it features a unique 2-in-1 design and weighs just 9.6 oz. The removable rubber drain plug lets you use it indoors without leaks or outdoors with proper drainage.
Worth it for apartment dwellers who need vertical growing space. The wall-mount option saves precious counter space, and the sealed base with removable plug means you won’t wreck your rental’s surfaces. Skip it if you need serious planting capacity — 3 quarts won’t hold much beyond herbs or small succulents.
Dual Mounting Design and Specifications
The Half Moon’s 2-in-1 design lets you hang it vertically on walls or place it flat on tabletops and desks. Integrated brackets on the back provide the mounting points, though mounting hardware isn’t included — you’ll need appropriate screws or anchors based on your wall type.
The half-moon shape maximizes growing space while minimizing footprint. Think of it as a D-shaped container — flat back against the wall, curved front for the plants. This geometry works particularly well for Montana’s limited indoor growing season when windowsill space runs out fast.

The planter works on wood fences, drywall with anchors, brick walls, and flat horizontal surfaces. Best suited for shallow to medium root systems like succulents and annuals — don’t expect to grow tomatoes in 3 quarts of soil.
Indoor/Outdoor Drainage System
The drainage system makes or breaks a dual-use planter. Bloem’s solution: a sealed base with a removable rubber drain plug. Pull the plug for outdoor use where drainage matters. Keep it in place for indoor use to protect furniture and floors.
The plastic construction includes UV protection for fade resistance during outdoor use. BPA-free resin construction that’s recyclable (Code 5 PP) means it won’t leach chemicals or become brittle after a few freeze-thaw cycles.
Typical uses include indoor displays on desks, countertops, and windowsills, or outdoor mounting on patios, balconies, porch railings, and garden fences. The lightweight design means you can move plants between locations as Montana’s weather dictates — outdoors for summer growing, inside before the first hard freeze.
FAQ
What’s included with the Half Moon planter? You get one 11-inch Half Moon planter and one removable rubber drain plug. Mounting screws or wall anchors must be purchased separately based on your surface type.
Can this handle Montana’s temperature swings? The UV-protected plastic resists fading and remains durable in all-weather outdoor conditions. The lightweight, rust-resistant construction won’t crack like ceramic in freeze-thaw cycles.
What plants work best in 0.75 gallons of soil? Small to medium houseplants, succulents, herbs, and flowers with shallow to medium root systems. Three quarts isn’t much — think herbs on the kitchen wall or succulent arrangements, not vegetable gardens.
How does it attach to walls? Integrated brackets on the back allow for easy wall attachment. Compatible surfaces include wood fences, drywall (with anchors), brick, and flat horizontal surfaces.
Is there a warranty? No specific long-term warranty is listed for this model — typically covered by retailer return policies like 30-day guarantees. Designed for multi-season outdoor use with UV protection.
