Probably to have a centre plant and sit four mini ones in the corners
Fill the bottom with loose rocks up to the “step”, with soil on top.
Something that doesn’t like soggy roots would be my pick. Here’s some examples but best ask at the nursery what would be best.
Natives:
Banksias
Grevillias
Leptosperms
Non-Natives:
Olives
Succulents/cacti
Rosemary
Structural strength for the corner adds would be my guess, both glazing and for use. Look how the lower component of the pot is essentially round.
Round pots with a root ball will press evenly across a pot. In a square pot a root ball will put pressure on the seams as the centres of the wall push out with the root ball.
make it heavy so it doesnt tip over in the wind as much?
I’d turn it into a mini pond, use those corners as water plant steps
I’ve not seen that before! my guess is that it is structural for the pot – strength or stability. But thinking that it would have little do with the plant itself.
