Meaning of "cachepot" in English

A "cachepot" is a decorative container used to hold a flower pot. The main purpose of a cachepot is to conceal the plain appearance of the pot the plant is housed in. Cachepots do not typically have drainage holes, meaning they do not act as plant pots themselves but instead serve an aesthetic function. They come in various materials, such as ceramics, metal, or woven baskets, and are often used indoors. Cachepots enhance the visual appeal of plants by acting as decorative accessories that complement home décor.
